Operating Joyful Wholesale is a challenging exercise in the fact that the business handles over 10,000 people a day.

Target Performance

Joyful Wholesale Business require performance above what is currently offered, and this include increasing the working hours to 800*24 hours per day and this would translate to 150%. The increase in performance would be realistic because the presence of the computerized system would result to working extra man hours a day, 7 days a week. The objective is to make sure that the business realizes 200% profit as compared to the past used systems. The CCTV systems would improve security and build confidence of customers visiting the facility.

Performance Gap

The proposed system would bring better performance to close the gap that is available of 50 manpower per month that translate to 50*$70 resulting to $3500. The outsourcing of the IT services for computerized systems would save the company the cost of $3500 per month. There would be more profits that would be experienced when the computerization is adopted bringing more value to Joyful Wholesale.
