Ramesh was just promoted as a shift officer. The promotion became effective when his immediate superior Mr. Sharma was out of town for a few days. Due to illness of Ramesh’s subordinate the work schedule was not being met. He decided to pitch in and help spending bout four hours daily in production. When Mr. Sharma returned to his work, Ramesh is not available, as he is not working on the shop floor. He is upset and tells him that it is the function of the supervisor to accomplish work with and through other people and not do it himself. What was the initial problem in this case?
2. Tick the alternative you would select to solve future problems when workers are not available:
(a) Let the scheduled work be late and catch up when the worker returns
(b) Lend a hand as Ramesh did in this case.
(c) Prepare back up for emergency
(d) Workout an acceptable compromise with the superior.
3. Evaluate each of the alternatives in terms of their advantages and disadvantages to the company, to the workers and to Ramesh.
4. How would you implement the alternative that you have selected?

Answer:
Whether a stipulation in a contract of sale is a condition or a warranty depends in each case on the construction of the contract. A stipulation may be a condition, though called a warranty in the contract.
But our concern here is with 'Implied Conditions and Warranties'. If a stipulation forms the very basis of the contract, or, as stated in S.12(2) is essential to the main purpose of the contract, it is called a condition. On the other hand, if the stipulation is not essential to the main purpose of the contract, it is called warranty S. 12(3).
Parties may expressly provide any conditions or warranties in their contract. For e.g. for a sale of red saree, to be worn by a woman at a function on a particular day, it is express condition that it should be red saree for a particular day and should reach on time. But is there any other condition? Yes, there can be other conditions also that are not exclusively said by parties but are impliedly understood. In the said illustration, the implied condition can be of a perfect saree, not to be torn, matching with selected piece etc. Let's have a deep look into this provision.
Answer:
Below is the proper explanation of all the parts of the question.
Explanation:
1.The initial issue in this case is an inadequacy of work schedule needs due to the workers' illness. Ramesh, as a shift officer and supervisor, must resolve this issue while his superior is on leave and he has only recently been promoted.
2.I would go with the last option, "work out an acceptable compromise with the superior."
3. a) Allowing scheduled work to be late and waiting for workers to return would be detrimental to the company because it would waste resources and time, increasing the cost. It appears to be a benefit to Ramesh in the short run because he will have more time to focus on his job as a supervisor and have more idle time; however, it will have an impact on his performance report in the long run.
b) lending a helping hand is not the solution because it may interfere with Ramesh's original duty as the shift officer, and the amount of assistance he provides may not be as effective as a greater emphasis on supervision.
c) While planning for an emergency is always a good idea, it should always be the last option. Planning for an emergency implies that Ramesh has given up on the situation, which has an impact on his performance.
d) Through collaboration with his superior, Ramesh can reach an agreement that benefits both the company and Ramesh.
4. I would like to approach the superior and explain the situation to them; reaching an agreement with the superior would give me the option of supervising specific sections while also helping to meet the work schedule.
Hence, we can conclude that Ramesh will be a successful supervisor only when he is able to resolve the issues effectively and efficiently while winning the trust of his subordinates.
