Assessment Task 2 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

You are the Operations Manager of a medium-sized Australian company, NatureCare Products, based in Brisbane. The company commenced business in 1996, and manufactures eco-friendly, high quality beauty skin care products.

The business was established to cater for a growing demand for skin products that contain eco-friendly and natural ingredients. There is also an emphasis on eco-friendly packaging. The company makes all its products in a small factory.

The company sells its products direct to a chain of health food shops across Australia, as well as online through its own web site. Products ordered online are shipped directly to customers from the factory. Products provided to health food shops are provided to the health food shop distributor who then distributes the products to all its stores. The relationship with the chain of health food shops is a long-standing one (ten years).

The company targets customers that want high quality, eco-friendly products. Market research has identified that around 70% of their customers are professional women aged 25 to 55.

NatureCare Products’ strategic priorities focus on business diversification and growth. They aim to increase their market share by 10%, and to expand the existing product range to attract more customers.

At a recent board meeting, the two company shareholders and the CEO discussed options for expanding the business, including establishing a chain of retail outlets. The idea is to initially set up one retail outlet in central Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Products will continue to be made in the company’s factory and shipped to the retail outlets.

The CEO has asked you to investigate this, undertaking a risk analysis on establishing a chain of retail outlets. The CEO and shareholders are keen to get the business expansion started as soon as possible, so you need to get your risk management plan in place immediately.

Currently the company employs the following staff: Accounts Manager, Marketing Manager, Marketing Assistant, Sales Manager, four customer service representatives, Office Manager and Administration Assistant, Operations Manager, as well as the CEO and two shareholders as indicated above.

You should also use this analysis to identify important factors that may influence consumer needs and desires as part of analysis of external stakeholders, as well as to inform the key risks you identify below.
⦁ You are also required to identify at least five risks identified with the expansion, and at least one potential risk treatment option for each of the risks you identify.

Assessment Task 3 Instructions

Carefully read the following information:

Assume that the CEO of NatureCare Products has indicated that he wants you to prioritise treatment of a number of risks as follows:

⦁ Inability to attract sufficiently qualified staff
One of the risks identified in the risk management plan is the inability to attract sufficiently qualified and knowledgeable staff to manage the new retail stores. The risk treatment identified is to invest in the training and development of existing staff to fulfil this role, at least in the short term.

It has been identified that at least two of the existing customer service representatives are interested in taking on this new role. Neither of the two customer service representatives have managerial skills nor knowledge, but they both have excellent company and product knowledge, as well as customer service skills.

⦁ Unsustainable workplace
Another risk identified in the risk management plan is increased costs to the business through inefficiencies in resources usage. Given that the business is set to expand, it is of key importance that resources are used sustainably and efficiently. The CEO wants to implement the risk treatment of measuring the company’s environmental sustainability and resource usage, commencing with the head office location.

⦁ Low customer satisfaction
A further risk identified as a priority is the any threat to customer satisfaction. Given that the business is expanding, customer satisfaction will be crucial. The risk treatment identified is to develop a customer questionnaire that can be used to measure customer satisfaction.

Complete the following activities:

⦁ Write a report on staff training options
Review the case study information and then research a range of potential training options for the customer service representatives, including both on and off the job options. Identify at least three suitable options.

Then develop a short report outlining your recommended option/s for the training, including a rationale for each recommendation.
Include the details of each recommended training option, including a summary of the training to be provided and outcomes, location, costs and duration as applicable.

Save this document as Staff Training Report.
As a guide, your staff training report should be 1 to 2 pages long.
⦁ Undertake an inspection of head office
Assume that, given the CEO’s concerns, you are to complete an inspection of head office (this will be the RTO as the simulated environment) to identify environmental sustainability and resource usage issues and to identify and report on possible solutions.

You will therefore undertake an inspection of the RTO facility using the environmental sustainability and resource Usage Record Template.
Record at least 3 actual or potential environmental sustainability and resource usage issues that you found during activity one.

Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the inspection and will observe you conducting the inspection.

⦁ Develop a customer questionnaire.
Develop eight questions that measure customer satisfaction and can be answered on a sliding scale from 1 (which is don’t agree at all) to 10 (which is totally agree).

Try to develop questions that encompass as many aspects of the customer’s experience as possible.

Use language that is polite and friendly.

There should be a space under the questions for responders to give written feedback.

Create a new Word document for this activity and save it as Customer Questionnaire.
The questionnaire should fit on one side of an A4 page.

⦁ Send an email to the CEO (your assessor).
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
It should introduce and summarise the contents of the attachments and seek their feedback and approval to move forward with the project.

Attach the following to the email:
⦁ staff training report
⦁ usage record
⦁ customer questionnaire

The CEO will send you an email providing comments and approval to proceed with the training course that they select from your report.

It is six months later, and you are monitoring the implementation of the risk treatments to ensure sufficient qualified staff, a sustainable and efficient workplace and high customer satisfaction.

Assume also that both managers participated in a formal, nationally recognised course in management, which they completed over the last six months.

You have been provided with the following information by your team, which you will use to monitor the implementation of the action plan:
⦁ The new Human Resources Manager has provided you with performance review information for the two Managers in a Performance Review Results Memo, as well as a staff survey conducted to assess employee satisfaction in a Staff Survey Results Memo.
⦁ The Marketing Manager has provided you with sales analysis for the last six months in a Sales Data Analysis Memo, as well as a memo about a recent customer survey. Customer Survey Results Memo
⦁ The Office Manager has provided you with a Sustainability Report.

⦁ Write a risk monitoring report.
In order to monitor the implementation of your action plan you are required to review the following documents:
⦁ Customer Survey Results Memo
⦁ Sales Data Analysis Memo
⦁ Staff Survey Results Memo
⦁ Performance Review Results Memo
⦁ Sustainability Report

Develop a risk monitoring report that provides a summary of the data provided to you and document what the data shows in relation to the effectiveness of the action plan.

Identify any additional risk control measures, which you believe should be put in place as relevant.

Your report should be 1 to 2 pages long.
