Question One: The Highway Administrator's Goal Setting Program The Highway Administration Program was responsible for repairing the country's worn roads during the winter period. This is due to snow falling on the roads which has made activities such as driving and transportation very difficult for the citizens of the country. Problems associated with the process To begin with, the landing of snow on the road caused them a lot of damage. This is because the levels on which the roads were raised were in different proportions. This, therefore, prevented a lack of flow from occurring on the roads. Furthermore, the cracks observed on the roads are due to the temperature difference in the country. During the winter season, the water that accumulated under the streets froze. They therefore increased in mass, thus breaking the hard earth cover that had been placed on the roads during their initial construction. The cracks, therefore, led to the formation of holes. Another problem that increased the difficulty in driving was the damage caused to vehicles. The parts most affected were the tires which deflated over time with increased damage also on the rims. These, therefore, have entailed huge repair costs for drivers of both public and private vehicles. Residents were also not left behind by the problems caused by road damage. First of all, several cases of accidents and injuries have occurred. An example of this is the frequent falls of residents who never paid particular attention to potholes while walking on the roads. Furthermore, due to the lack of funding, more and more people specializing in renovation processes...... middle of paper ...... have been evaluating to obtain the advantages and disadvantages associated with them. The objectives set should also be those that are favorable to the workers, as well as the management team as a whole. This is to ensure that they can be satisfied easily without too much difficulty.
