Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.

The water travels for miles, and the end product is this filtered water that is just phenomenal." Shannon Carter crafts what the brew master calls "wholesome beers" made with the highest quality, non-GMO grains and malts available and brewed using techniques garnered from his Irish heritage. Shannon’s mission statement closely reflects this philosophy. According to Shannon Carter:

Our award-winning beer is brewed with the best stuff on earth: pure spring water, whole grain, whole flower hops and a whole lotta love! For us, "brewed with the best stuff on earth," is much more than a saying. it’s a guiding principle. Paramount to this commitment is our multi-step fire-brewed process.

The Army would pay the unit cost for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead costs. In addition, the Army has agreed to pay an additional $1.02 per undergarment to cover all other costs and provide a profit. Presently, Klean Fiber is operating at 70% capacity and does not have any other potential buyers for Y-Go. If Klean Fiber accepts the Army's offer, it will not incur any variable selling expenses related to this order.
