Every workshop must be equipped with appropriate tools for all the computer hardware used and
repaired within the organisation. There are different types of tool sets that can be acquired for the
computer workshop. Some of the tools are specialised tools, and some are basic tools like flat or star
screwdrivers, and crimping tools. It is not always necessary for technicians to have tools in order to
maintain equipment in computer labs. It is often possible to use other techniques to diagnose computer
hardware problems.
There are tools for different uses. Tools need to be cleaned and stored properly for safety and health
reasons. In addition, all tools and computer equipment must be accounted for. If the tools are not used
properly, they can damage some components of a computer and can also injure the technician. Modern
day computers cases and printers are easy to open.

Making Elevators Go Faster!This story has been reported in numerous places and has almost become a classic example to explain the need for problem identification. Ackoff (as cited in Larson , 1987) described the problem of managing complaints about slow elevators in a tall hotel tower.After trying many solutions for reducing the complaint: staggering elevators to go to different floors, adding operators, and so on, the management determined that the real problem was not about the actual waiting time but rather the perceived waiting time. So the solution was to install full-length mirrors on elevator doors on each floor. As Hesse and Woolsey (1975) put it, "the women would look at themselves in the mirrors and make adjustments, while the men would look at the women, and before they knew it, the elevator was there ." By reducing the perceived waiting time, the problem went away. Baker and Cameron 0996) give several other examples of distractions, including lighting,…

- Read carefully the following case:Imagine that you work as an internal auditor for a company that owns several pharmacies throughout the city. Based on your audit plan, the first cycle to audit will be revenue. The first thing you do is document the processes related to receiving and processing the various sources of income. On your initial visit, you were able to observe the following:Once customers have the items to purchase, they head to the register, where a clerk processes the sale. The pharmacy has three cash registers, but does not have an employee who specifically works as a cashier at each one. This provides flexibility in the operation because, of the three employees that the business has, one can collect at any of the cashiers when available.
