Control System

Leo’s Four-Plex Theatre

This case study is about a theatre which was in a single location with 4 screens. The owner hired his nephew to manage the whole theatre, but the theatre was not profitable. The owner suspected that the theatre has some control issues and requested a college professor to find out the problems and suggest how to resolve those.

The professor found few problems which are given below:

1. The tickets were usually sold from 2 counters and were colour coded and used for the day of sale.

2. Almost always the cash was less than the cash should have collected.

3. As the theatre was in a small town, most of them know each other. In the lobby of the theatre, the stand attendants know most of the customers and as a result they sometime failed to collect money from those customers.

4. Customers enter in to the theatre with wrong colour coded or backdated ticket. Sometime they enter with the signature of the owner’s nephew on the ticket.

This case has some problem regarding control issues. To solve the problem Leo should hire someone else instead of his nephew. All of his employees including stand attendants should be from another city, so no one of the city will be known to the theatre employees and as a result these new staff members will do their duty with care.
