Table II: Mr. Khannas Performance Evaluation

Mr. Khanna is the most qualified person among the four. He is good with
communication and he was able to sort out a customer complaint with his skills.
However, his performance has deteriorated in the last one year for unknown
reasons. He does not put in extra hours required for the job. Further, his attitude
towards the workers is not very good.

Mr. Punjabi:
Mr. Punjabi is the most experienced person among four. He is a good trainer and
maintains a good relationship with workers and management. However, he has less
qualification when compared to the others preferred for this role.

Table IV: Mr. Guptas Performance Evaluation

Mr. Gupta, the less experienced of the four is a good glass technologist and also
good with numbers and planning. He also has the potential for growth. However, his
performance is rated as average. His relationship with workers is barely adequate.

Mr. Gulati:
Mr. Gulati has ability to learn and grasp well. He also maintains good employee
relationship and has the capability to handle tense situation. He also puts extra
hours across shifts whenever required. However, he is new to the company. He does
not have hands on experience on planning and scheduling.

Table V: Mr. Gulatis Performance Evaluation

Other Alternatives:
Retaining Mr. Ashok:

Mr. Ashok has hands on experience in the role for many years. He was not
responsible for the loss incurred by the company in the past two years. However, his
tenure cannot be extended for a longer duration as it is a short term remedy and it
will also incur more expense to the company.

Hiring a New Recruit:

Hiring a new recruit with required skill sets for the job will be a suitable option.
However, this process will take time. It will also affect the morale of other
employees competing for the same role. The new person will take some time to
settle which is not well suited for the present companys situation.

Recommendations:
From the above analysis it is evident that none of them posses all the required skills
preferred for the profile. Since SGL is anticipating profit for the current year, the
committee strongly recommends extending Mr. Ashoks tenure by 6 months. After 6
months the committee suggests Mr. Gupta for Mr. Ashoks replacement based on
the performance evaluation. The committee also recommends Mr. Ashok to train Mr.
Gupta during this interim period.
