patients. Dr. Chandrashekar the Administrator is a person with good medical knowledge but
lacks knowledge and skills involved in human resources management. The hospital has large
quantities of medicine, equipment, spare parts of important machines installed in the hospital.
As usual, the Hospital has employed a storekeeper with no previous experience of Hospital
Stores. Mr. Ramakant the storekeeper was working earlier in an engineering firm and had
sufficient knowledge of such stores. Ramakant reports to the purchase Executive whose job
is to order requisite materials for requirements of the entire Hospital, Dr. Chandrashekhar has
been receiving various complaints from the staff and doctors of non-availability of
medicines, drugs, spares of equipment and other consumables required in the Hospital having
500 beds. Since the hospital so far did not employ a qualified Personnel Manager, the
administrators are not aware of the job analysis procedures, nor do they have job description
and job specification of any of the jobs being performed.

Questions:

(1) Write down the job analysis, job description and job specification of a storekeepers job.

(2) What specific standards and specification would you include in the job description and
job specification.

(3) How would you go about in developing a standard job description and specification?

requirements of this job?
