Writing a Business Report

PROBLEM

The manufacturing facility where you work employs three data-entry operators who work full-time keyboarding production, personnel, and inventory data into a computer. This data is then sent via secure Internet connection to the headquarters minicomputer, where it becomes part of the corporate database for financial, production, and personnel management.

Last year, one of the operators was absent from work for two weeks for a condition diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome, a neuromuscular disorder of the tendons and tissue in the wrists caused by repeated hand motions. Her symptoms included a dull ache in the wrist and excruciating pain in the shoulder and neck. Her doctor treated her with anti-inflammatory medicine and a cortisone injection, and she has had no further problems. However, just last week a second data-entry operator experienced similar symptoms; her doctor diagnosed her ailment as “repeated-motion illness,” or repetitive stress injury (RSI).

Because the company anticipates further automation in the future, with more data-entry operators to be hired, your boss has asked you to gather additional information on this condition. Once the extent of the problem is known, she wants you to make any appropriate recommendations regarding the work environment—posture, furniture, work habits, rest breaks, and the like —that will alleviate this problem.

PROCESS

Compose a few paragraphs describing how you solved this problem. In narrative form, provide information such as the following:

1. The problem statement and subproblems for your report

2. How you gathered the needed secondary data

3. How you evaluated the quality and relevance of any data you collected from online searching

4. How you decided whether to use a direct or an indirect organizational plan

5. The degree of formality you decided to use

6. Factors you used to determine whether to include any visual aids

PRODUCT

Compose your two to four page report, following the five steps in the writing process (planning, drafting, revising, formatting, and proofreading). Include a bibliography or reference list. Format the final version in appropriate style (refer to the Appendix for formatting guidelines).

Introduction

We exist in the 21st Century where terms like artificial intelligence, augmented reality,
and machine learning are no longer buzzwords, but a reality and businesses have had to integrate
automation of their processes in order to compete effectively. The first step towards total
integration involves extensive data entry of important company data from various departments
into one central database. This data is then converted into relevant information through
techniques such as data visualization and presented to the management in the form of charts and
tables to enable decision-making in terms of adopting strategies that give the company a
competitive advantage over its competitors in the marketplace.
Problem Statement
Given the influx of data in our expanding company, there has been an increasing need to
employ more data entry operators in order to facilitate the compiling of data into the corporate
database for financial, production and personnel management. However, following the diagnosis
of a data entry operator with carpal tunnel syndrome in the past year and another one this past
week with repetitive stress injury, the management requested me to draft a report expounding
this occurrence. The report, therefore, presented a deeper analysis of the conditions in terms of
causes, symptoms, those a...
