ACTIVITY 1B

An operational plan can be defined as a plan prepared by a component of an organization that clearly defines actions it will take to support the strategic objectives and plans of upper management. However, to fully understand operational plans, we should first look at the overall planning process within a business.

Steps To Develop Operational Plan

  1. Develop departmental Objective by creating who that will be involves such as Stakeholder, Teams and individuals.
  2. Agree Activities and strategy: On what will be the next action plan, operational activities and budget involved in achieving objectives and goals.
  3. when to forecast the progress or timeframe it will takes to achieve your objective
  4. why: the breakdown of objectives, monitoring process involved to achieve the goals and objectives set in the strategic plan.
  5. Where. Within the organisation, workplace.

Different between operational plan and strategic plan.

The strategic plan is about setting a direction for the organisation, devising goals and objectives and identifying a range of strategies to pursue so that the organisation might achieve its goals. While operational plan does present highly detailed information specifically to direct people to perform the day-to-day tasks required in the running the organisation.

ACTIVITY 6

SMART is a results driven acronym designed to provide focus to the task and the objective required as a result.

  • S. Should be specific, clear to anyone that has basic knowledge of the project.
  • M. Must be measurable, know that that objective is obtainable and how far away completion is. Be aware of when the task has been completed.
  • A. Agreed upon. Agreement must be reached with all stakeholders about what the objectives should be. The objective should also be achievable.
  • R The objective should be realistic and relevant and within the abilities of the organisation skills base.
  • T Time based. Is there enough time to compete the task? Are the timeframes realistic i.e. not too long as to effect performance, timelines and completion?

An objective that follows SMART is more likely to succeed because it is clear (specific) so you know exactly what needs to be achieved. You can tell when it has been achieved (measurable) because you have a way to measure completion. A SMART objective is likely to happen because it is an event that is achievable. Before setting a SMART objective relevant factors such as resources and time must be considered to ensure that it is realistic. Finally, the timeline element provides a deadline which helps people focus on the tasks required to achieve the objective. The timeline element stops people postponing task completion and effecting performance.

You have developed an operational plan, now you need to get it approved. Identify who you might need to seek approval from and the typical process for gaining approval.

The approval of the operational plan is a high-level decision and will most likely rest with the organisation’s executive.

When we seek for approval we might make a presentation, or write a report in support of the plan, the management committee may review the plan before recommending approval to a governing body, or a simple process of receiving approval from senior managers who will be able to approve the activities highlighted for their individual areas.

ACTIVITY 7

Preparation

it is vital that the planning and preparation stage of the recruitment process is done effectively for the appointment of a new member of staff to be successful. Human Resources (HR) or a management panel / interview panel will need to think about what their current or future needs are and the best way to meet them.
If the vacancy is a new role HR or the appropriately delegated persons will need to think about the job purpose, responsibilities and experience that they are looking for culminating onto the development of a statement of duties (SOD). If the role is replacing an existing one they will need to consider if any changes need to be made to ensure that the job is fully effective and review all policy documentation appropriately to reflect the identified needs.

Advertising

Candidates first become aware of a vacancy via advertising or by use of a facilitating recruitment agency. A recruitment advertisement must be written in a clear and concise way so as potential applicants are encouraged to find out more about the organisation and advertised position. Where and when you advertise must be taken into consideration as poorly timed or focusing on the wrong target group with inappropriate media selection will provide poor results in response and will not capture the target market.

Planning

When planning to recruit it is important to establish a realistic timeframe for each stage prior to beginning the process of recruitment. Having tight deadlines and only leaving a small amount of time for short listing and collation of data can be counterproductive. Careful thought about the whole recruitment process in order to get the best possible outcome is critical. Identification of the method of short listing, scoring and the convening of a selection panel are also important considerations to take into account in the planning stage of recruitment.

Selection process

A professional recruitment process is crucial, for the validity of the recruitment decision and for the image of the organisation. All applicants should feel that they have been treated fairly throughout the process and be left with the impression that the organisation is a fair, coconscious and ethical employer - somewhere where it would be good to work and develop a career.

Appointment

following the interview the panel should make a decision based on all the evidence available as it is applied evenly throughout the recruitment and selection process with reference to the required job description.

ACTIVITY 8

ACTIVITY 8 B

Outline some of the advantages of using a purchase order.

Some advantages of a business purchasing utilising a purchase order management system include; the purchaser having a defined traceable record of transaction that states all relevant information to the sale including things such as purchase and delivery dates, cost of purchase, terms and conditions of payments, authorising persons and collation of information between purchase order and invoice / statement to ensure correct payments without ambiguity of details.

Purchase order copies can be used to ensure suppliers dispatch the items that you have ordered upon receipt of goods. A good purchase order management system should have a back order system in place. This enables the purchaser to track and follow up items that have not been received at time of purchase but may be arriving later due to an inability to supply. Used In a larger organisation a purchase order can also provide information for accountancy such as distribution of cost centres and allocation to job numbers for future invoicing

The determination of the gross profit. The P&L provides the rest.

The cash flow statement describes inflow and outflows divided into three parts: cash from operating activities, investments and financing activities.

The balance sheet is a positional statement describing assets owned, liabilities owed and the amount remaining known as equity or funds.

ACTIVITY 8B

  1. Price- Yes, price is important. But if your supplier cannot make a reasonable margin on your business, then something is going to suffer. And if the supplier doesn't cut somewhere, he might find out too late and then put his entire business at risk. And that's risky for you if you don't have back-up suppliers.
  2. Service- We are highly dependent upon our blinds manufacturers because we outsource the product. Over the past year we've been measuring the effect of fill rates, late orders, time to resolve an issue, and time to import invoices, and how all of these things affect not only our expenses but also impact customer satisfaction. We' been able to calculate direct correlations between our customer satisfaction scores and our supplier scores.
  3. Quality - This applies not only to vendors' adherence to specifications, but also whether the product is packed adequately, labelled correctly, and includes agreed-upon marketing materials. And also, the durability of the product to the market
  4. Alignment- It's this fourth category that many companies fail to consider. And it's just as important as the first three. We have about 20 suppliers. Three of them are considered first-tier in our industry and combined they represent the clear majority of market share. One of them suddenly decided this year to stop supplying us with a portion of their products.

Barrier to supplier relationships:

  • Poor communication: lack of clear communication between the both parties create a barrier to supplier relationship. Therefore, there is needs for mutual goals and understanding if not will still lead to frustration and chaos.
  • Unclear goal. You must state clearly what exactly you need from the supplier and reconfirm again to have a clear understanding for both parties.
  • Lack of respect: Fail to be engage in ethical practice will create room short profitable long-term relationship as the supplier will refuse to continue. There is needs for the supplier to get something out of their relationship.
  • Poor leadership. Lack of good manager or leadership styles to engage with supplier will run down the relationship. There is needs for the company to be honest and reliable with their supplier for long term goal.

ACTIVITY 9A

Licensed innovation (IP) alludes to manifestations of the brain, for example, developments; abstract and imaginative works; plans; and images, names and pictures utilized as a part of commerce. IP is secured in law by, for instance, licenses, copyright and trademarks, which empower individuals to acquire acknowledgment or financial advantage from what they design or make. By striking the correct harmony between the interests of trailblazers and the more extensive open intrigue, the IP framework means to encourage a domain in which inattentiveness and development can sustain.

STEM IN BREAKING THE IP LAWS.

  • Understanding infringement (understanding the nature of the infringement and Develop infringement strategy)
  • Before taking legal action (Prove your right full owner and your work have been copy)
  • Seizing counterfeit goods
  • Letter of demands. (Give a letter to prove the ownership right).
  • Alternative dispute resolution (Mediator, arbitration)
  • Going to court

ACTIVITY 9B

The IP types are:

  • Patents, which gives the holder exclusive use of an invention and allows them the right to authorise other parties to use it. Patents are usually granted for twenty years. And inorder to fill a patent, you will needs to fill in a patent application which are available on www.ipaustralia.com.au
  • Design, which allows the employer to be registered owner unless there is a clause in the employment contract to the contrary. Applicant should be made to IP Australia with the design clearly demonstrated in drawing or photograph.
  • Copyright is usually assigned to the owner of the work, but if it is created as a worker the employer is usually deemed to be the copyright holder. It is not requiring for you to register your copy right for it to apply, however it make it clears a d can help to resolve dispute

What can an organisation do to protect its interests in the case of a dispute over intellectual property?

Copyright, patent and design legislations all contain provisions relating to offences under the legislation and remedies under any breaches. Remedies include injunctions against the offender, damages and rights to a share of profits enjoyed as results of the breach.

ACTIVITY 10

Develop a process to conduct individual performance reviews for your employees

The most effective way is to have a combination of structured face to face discussions with diary notes quarterly then half yearly reviews with a full review at the end of the year. Also, remove the prospect of a discussion about pay. Retain this for another time as an employee should be able to leave their review thinking about performance.

In conducting a performance review, you should:

  • Creating performance objective
  • Create performance standards
  • Ask the employee to rate themselves
  • Provide a written performance review to the employee
  • Make sure that you can back up any positives and negatives with specific examples
  • Conduct a review meeting within 48 hours of the written performance review
  • Performance improvement plan
  • Recognise and rewards
  • Note and file any employee comments and then ensure that the final version goes on file.
  • Learning and development.
  • Next year KPI and next review date.

ACTIVITY 10B
