Questions:

Question 1: Explain the role of an operational plan in achieving the organization’s objectives?

Answer: Than operational plan plays a crucial role in orgazational objectives as


operational plans are important to carry out the organizational objectives
because without them we won’t know be able to carry out the orgazational
objectives. For e.g. if the goal is increasing net profit then the orgzational
plan would be to increase sales by increasing the number of units produced
by 10% which will lead to more profit. So operational plan will lead to full
filling of organization objectives.

Marking: Satisfactory Unsatisfactory

Question 2: Describe how operational plans are developed through the basic strategic planning
approach. Describe models and methods you will use for developing operational
plan?

Answer: The operational plans are developed through strategic planning approach,
first we would have to decide the goals that we want to achieve, after setting
the goals we would delegate authorities after delegating authority we will
assign jobs and people will get to work. Now same will happen with
operational plan as well, we would have to decide how our operations of the
firm would be run in order to achieve the orgazational goals.
We will use single use modelling and standing modelling. A single use plan
is basically a plan that won’t be used in the future while standing plans are
used consistently.

Question 3: Describe how operational plans are developed through the goal-based planning
approach?

Answer: The goal based planning approach tells you to create plans by setting long
term and short term goals and we can develop our operational plans through
that as well. In order to create an operational plan we would have to set the
goal which would be to increase our revenue now in order to increase our
revenue we would have to create an operational plan on how to achieve that
goal. So in order to increase revenue we would have to increase our units
which will lead to more sales and more revenue.

Marking: Satisfactory Unsatisfactory

Question 4: Describe how operational plans are developed through the alignment planning
approach?

Answer: Alignment planning approach tells you to increase set our goals which align
with our culture now as this new plans are developed regularly to meet the
new culture of the firm, the operational plans will start to differ as well.
These operational plans will be flexible to suit the alignment planning
approach. So the operational plan can develop through alignment planning
approach by the given resources and actions, they identify that what should
be change, and determine as well that how the change will occur, by the
planning approach.

Mostly, you will be referring to Section 3 of Annex A Organisation operational plan, where one of the
actions is “Acquiring additional resources – delivery van’. Keep in mind that all things in the
organisational plan are linked to the mission statement and, consequently, there are other parts of the
current organisation operational plan that will require you to prepare some implementation plans.

1. Undertake some research to determine the resources that will be required to manage and
implement this item in the operational plan. As this is a big ticket budget item, senior management
will be very keen to see the research questions that you will have addressed and what you found.
Your report on this item should list each of your research questions, your sources and your
findings. It is important that your questions address relevant items in the mission statement and its
business plan objectives. These are addressed in sections 1.1 and 1.2 of the organisation
operational plan. There is also an important linkage to an item in Section 1.3 of the organisation
operational plan.

Determine some resources required:


1) Human Resources: In human resource includes managers, staff, team leaders
etc. so each operational plan have it’s their owner like if in this department someone
who is responsible and implement the right strategy. If someone is not responsible for
planning, then strategies won’t be implemented. In human resource the planning
session allocate by one person or in a group of people.
2) Physical Resources: Physical resource includes supplies, stock, etc. it
implemented when needed in operational plan. In physical resources there is need or
documentation to keep the record of every stock levels, stock storage, supplier’s
records, and buying records.
3) Financial Resources: In an organization of people work then company have to
pay them to do their work and then financial resources needed for remuneration. In
financial resources there will involve administration costs in the form of telephones
calls, purchase of supplies or material or promotional cost of advertising.

2. Convert your research and analysis into a detailed operational plan for the acquisition of the
delivery vans. Use the existing headings from the organisation operational plan as a starting point
but change these if necessary as you may find them restrictive.

A detailed operational plan focus on the final balance sheet, profit and loss, cash flow statement,
budgeting plan, planning, business operations and future growth to achieve their objective. So in
operational planning includes sales, finance, marketing suppliers, distributors and customers, staff,
managers and team leaders.

3. Use the broader consultation strategy from Section2.0 of the operational plan and prepare a
detailed consultation plan that will outline the processes and people who will need to be consulted
for this specific operational plan. You will also need to refer to the organisational charts as such a
large expenditure item may require the involvement of other departments.

The process we will go through to acquire that new item is first we will ask the outlets on
how much demand of delivery service is there, then we will ask the customers how much
they want a delivery service and they we will contact the senior management team to ask
if they have the budget for the new vans and if the new vans will help then in achieving
their goals. Then we will contact the finance on how much we can spend on the vans if
all is good then we will contact the car manufactures.

4. Establish a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that will assist in monitoring the
implementation of your detailed operational plan. The KPIs must support the broader KPI outlined
in the operational plan. Obtain approval for the plan form senior management.

Except if you are the proprietor of a little privately owned business, you will have an
administrator or a board of chiefs that anticipate that you should answer to them about arranging
forms. They have to affirm your arrangements and you may well need to make fitting
presentations to them.

We need their endorsement since when an operational plan is officially marked of by the
individuals with designated specialist, it is at this phase the finalized plan turns into a strategy.
Marked duplicates of the arrangement ought to be kept on lie as a formal record and gave to the
suitable parties in charge of implementing the arrangement. Endorsement can be gotten by
presenting the arrangement to the partners and rolling out pertinent improvements by picking up
the criticism from them.

5. The operational plan required the delivery vans to be purchased and declared by 31 July. Prepare
contingency plans for the following risks that have been identified:

a) Vehicle supplier cannot supply 150 units by 31 July


At the end of the month july, the supplying is not meet the plans that’s why we minimize the production
of August.
b) The corporate logo is being redesigned and will not be released until August 20 so
vehicle decals will have to be developed before putting the job out to tender
Because of releasing late logo and vans are already ready so we will deliver these vans tender with
the previous logo.
c) The budgeted cost per vehicle of AUD42,680 is based on the current exchange rate of
the Australian Dollar. There is a risk the dollar value could drop by 10% to 15% and
increase the value of the vans by this percentage.
Suppose that we take 30% of the payment value and If the value of vehicles will increase so we will
increase the value of order payment from 30% to 40%.

6. Prepare a briefing document, to present to senior managers, for procurement of the delivery vans.
As this specific operational plan has an overall budget of AUD7.5 million, it is important to
carefully consider the specification of the vans (such as size, engine capacity, fuel efficiency and
warranty) and their suitability to align with Bizops’s commitment to being environmentally friendly.
The briefing document should contain the following:

a) Recommendations, with supporting arguments, of suitable makes and models


So my recommendations would be to buy some 2nd hand vehicle from ford as they are cheap
as well so environmental friendly as well which matches our mission and vision statement.
My recommendation is ford because they are cheap and reliable as well which will lead to
having more units of vans available to us.

b) Reference to the sources of specialist advice that contributed to these recommendations


https://fleetworksofhouston.com/best-small-cargo-van-money-can-buy/
c) Recommendation of a procurement process that aligns with the purchasing policy and
purchasing procedures
We must first ask the ford dealership if they have these vans available in a huge quantity
Then make them an offer for a specified number of vans.
Then sign the approval letter from the business
Test drive the van
Check the market for better options.
If they are not better options then approach to buy.

d) Provide a contingency plan.


If for e.g. ford wasn’t able to deliver the number of vans that we require then we will contact
another buyer for buying. Most probably we should contact them beforehand so that they
have our vehicles available if we need them to buy.

7. The marketing department has provided you with some specifications for the design of the decals
for the delivery vans. You need to take this information to a graphic artist and request a design for
use on the sides and back of the vans. Before entering into a purchasing agreement, prepare a

short briefing document that outlines the intellectual property issues that may be associated with
the supply of this design.

The intellectual property issues that might arise that the graphic artist make sell our design to
other business which they might use on their product so in order to protect our business we
have created our agreement that details that this isn’t won’t be used by any other company.
If it is used it will lead to fine’s and lawsuits.

8. Prepare a briefing document for the retail outlet work teams that explains your detailed operational
plan and outlines how it will be implemented in the set timeline. The briefing document also needs
to:

a) Outline the aspects of the operational plan that will need to be implemented at each
retail outlet.
The aspects of operational plans that need to implemented are that the staff should be trained
to provide goods customer service so that the customers are happy, they should make sure
that the customers are satisfied at our outlets and that they should get good quality products
as well.

b) Include a strategy to utilise existing retail staff in operating the delivery service
So in order to utilize the existing staff for delivery service, two workers from every retail outlet should
be made in charge of delivering the products in the nearby areas as the outlets are more, the real
covered through this will be more.
c) Contain a WHS risk assessment and legislative review of the issues associated with
having retail staff operating delivery vans
The risk are huge because maybe the retail team doesn’t know how to drive they can crash which can
lead to huge damages, they might not know the areas which will lead to them to delivering the
products on time which will leave the customers unsatisfied.

9. Utilise the KPIs developed in number 4 above to develop a monitoring process for the
implementation of the detailed operational plan. Use the assumption that the timeline for the plan
is set for one month (completion 31 July). The monitoring process should include the following:

a) A breakdown of the overall plan into tasks


The main purpose of work breakdown which minimize the complications to collect the task and it is
important to oversee the tasks more effectively and efficiently.
b) Timelines and responsibilities assigned for each task
Every employee should be responsible for their tasks to enhance their productivity level with team
strength and with the given timeframe.
c) A budget allocation to appropriate tasks
A budget allocation for appropriate task is to develop a budget revenue and predict first those budget
which are available to you.
d) Incorporate intellectual property right and identify the roles and responsibilities.
Intellectual property rights give competitive advantage and this is also called IP rights which can be
sold or licensed of your business assets. The responsibility is that protect the IP for any
consequences of your business.
e) A mechanism to quantitatively analyse the level of completion of each task (for
example: 15 equates to 10% completed)
The quantitatively analyse carry the small group and target those audience by measuring certain
behaviour, intentions, attitudes, and knowledge.

a) The project covers the period of 3 months from 1 July to 30 September, which should cover
all of the financial aspects of the detailed operational plan

b) Financial management is based on accrual accounting, so expenditure is based on


events such as approval of a purchase requisition and not when cash finally changes
hands
In the field of the open part bookkeeping, there were two reasoning patterns, a conventional one
dependent on money bookkeeping, and a cutting edge one dependent on gathering bookkeeping.
Under the customary model, of open organization money bookkeeping or spending bookkeeping,
money based framework at first considered as being increasingly fitting for the open area, the
accentuation was on consistence with principles and guidelines. As indicated by the cutting edge
model the accentuation is on productivity, so it is prescribed that the open division ought to present
the arrangement of budget summaries connected in the private area, which is made by accumulation
bookkeeping.

c) Purchase of the vans is based on a 10% payment on placement of the order and the
remainder on receipt of goods. The budget allocation for each van is AUD42, 680.
The 10% payment order of each van = 42680 * 10% = 4268
The actual price of van=42680-4268=3841

d) Design a van decal requires 50% payment on concept approval and 50% of delivery
of final design. The cost of the design is budgeted at AUD 5,000.
As the cost of the design is budgeted at 5000 AUD. So from the budget cost 2500 should be paid
before and 2500 should be paid after the final design.

e) Decaling of vans is a payment on a weekly invoice based on the number of vans


decaled. The cost for each van is budgeted at AUD1,000.
The actual cost of vans are 38412 AUD after deduction of decaling cost, the final price of each van is
37412 AUD.
f) Project Management is a set weekly expenditure item of AUD6,000 for six
(6) weeks
The project manager set the expenditure of 6week is 6000AUD
For 1 week expenditure = 6000/6 = 1000AUD per week
So per month of expenditure = 4000AUD
It’s means that the total expenditure which is decided by project manager for 1.5 month.

10. Prepare a budget for the purchasing and decaling of the vans using the following criteria:

g) Staff training in van operational procedures occurs in the two (2) month period after delivery
and has an allocation of AUD3,000 per retail outlet for casual replacement staff.

In a single retail outlet we consider that there are 5 members for the training session and we
scheduled the session as below:

Schedule of Actual Training Paid for Payment (whole team)


training
2.5 hours or Minimum 2 2.5 hours 45$ per day
more hours
Example : 2 2 hours 2.5 hours 45$ per day
hours

So, a team is working 2.5 hours in a day then their monthly payment of 22 days will be
990AUD which is almost upto 1000 AUD.

BSBMGT517 Manage Operational Plan

11. At the end of the first month (31 July), the progress of the operational plan is as follows:

a) The order for 150 vans has been placed with a purchase value of AUD45,238 for each
van
The actual Value is 45,238
No of Order of Van=150
The total Cost=150 *45238 = 6785700
b) There is a shortfall in supply and only 67 vans have been delivered. The remainder
should be delivered in 2 months.
Total order of Van = 150
In the july 67 vans are supply the remaining vans =150-67 =83
c) The van decal has not received final approval from the CEO, but this is expected
within the next few days
As the CEO didn’t approval the van decal so they expected that they will approve it next few days and
the performance will design good and the delivery of the vans will be occur on time.
d) All of the supplied vans should be decaled in the next 30 days
All supplied 67 vans have to deliver in July if we assume as we know that we have to supply 67 vans
at the end of July and if we estimate 5 vans are decal in a day so it will take 13 days to be decal all of
the 67 vans .
e) The remainder of the decaled vans should be decaled within 30 days of their delivery
The remaining 83 vans will be decaled in 17 days.
f) Project management costs need to extend to 12 weeks, but the second six-week
period should only cost AUD3,000 per week
Project manager previously set 6 weeks cost which is 6000 AUD , if we extend it into 12 weeks the but
should be 12000 AUD, but in the week the budget of per week is equal 3000 AUD, it means that
budget is change drastically, the expected planning of budget is 3 month but it was fitted in one
month.
g) The purchase order specified vans with manual transmission. They only require a
normal driver’s license for operation, but approximately 50% of the retail staff have
never driven a manual vehicle.
Project manager assumes that all the normal drivers operate manual vehicles but 50% of the retail
staff never experiences with manual vehicle so that’s why the budget decrease drastically by this
factor as well.
Use the monitoring process developed in number 9 above to prepare a review of the
operational plan’s progress to date. This report should cover the following items:
a) Analysis and interpretation of budgeted and actual financial information
The actual Value is 45 238 and the budget value was around 42000 so the actual is cost is
more than the business expected so we under allocated the budget and we have to pay more which will
increase our cost..
b) Identified areas of under performance
The CEO didn’t sign for the approval so there is a performance as the design should have been
Ready before the delivery of vans but isn’t because the CEO didn’t sign off on it.
The second area under performance is that the retail staff is under trained.
The budget for project management cost has over spent, as we would have to pay more in the second
6 week period.
c) Recommendations for variations to the operational plan
The first recommendation is that the CEO should sign of on the deals as soon as possible so that
they are used on the van,
The retail workers who are no trained for manual transmission should be sent to training as soon as
Possible.
For future projects the managers of the project need to make sure that the project is finished under the
specified time and does not go over it.

12. The retail staff have had a series of consultation meetings with managers and have developed a
proposal where staff who have only ever driven vehicles with automatic transmission, should have
specific external training to operate vehicles with manual transmission. This should cost
approximately AUD200 per person and there are 315 people who need this training. After the
initial training, they have requested that a skilled workplace coach support them in using the van
for their first five deliveries. The time cost of this coaching would equate to another AUD250 per
person.

Prepare a detailed operational plan for the external training and internal coaching of sales staff to
enable them to drive the vans for deliveries. The operational plan should include the following:

a) KPIs for monitoring the plan’s implementation progress and outcomes


Traning for 315 people should be araanged.
The total money for training should be paid by the office.
After the intial traning of all the employees is done then the new coach should be hired
The workers who have been trained should be tested to see for improvements.
b) A breakdown of overall plan into tasks
A trading house should be contacted
The 315 employees should be divided into different parts and told about the training program.
Then different groups of people from these employees should be sent to the training institute.
After training they should be tested
Then a coach should be hired to oversee these trainees working/.
c) Timelines and responsibilities assigned for each task
d) A budget allocation to appropriate tasks
63000 will be spent on training. And then around 75000 will be used in training by the coach.
e) A mechanism to quantitatively analyse the level of completion of each task.
After a group is trained they should be tested by a supervisor to see how much they have
learned.
f) A process to evaluate the outcomes of the plan.
To see the outcomes we would have took at if the delivery rate our firm has increased or not.
g) A risk analysis of factors that could prevent the successful implementation of the
plan
The only risk that is present is that not all 315 of the employees will be trained efficiently
which will create problems for the business in the future as if they are not trained well
enough it can lead to problems in the delivery service.

13. Past records associated with the management of operational plans appear to be very difficult to
find. A few discreet questions to other managers have indicated that many of the files are still held
by the relevant operational managers. Access the information management policy and information
management procedures and prepare a one-page guideline that will assist operational managers
in managing and storing this information in accordance with the policy and procedures.

Guidelines:
Operational managers manage their information according to the policy and procedure and
the purpose of it to records management policy to ensure all activities and decisions of
business and creates, managed and appropriately. It will help to achieve information for
the improvement. It will also meet its obligations and responsibilities to protect the rights of
management, staff, and community. Storing information help those to enhance their
ongoing business record and customer service to meet their expectations. Records can
stored as cost effectively in a efficient manner.
Electronic record may either record on online or offline manners. Records rarely used for
official purpose. Availability of records to the staff so they can access for their business
purposes.

14. The organisation operational plan has another line item to maintain full staffing capacity through
rapid recruitment to fill vacancies and there are 13 new sales staff needing to be employed,
inducted and trained in the next 2 months. Develop an implementation strategy for the retail outlet

managers to follow, to ensure they achieve the KPI for this line item. Refer to the recruitment
policy if necessary.

In order to hire new employees, the mangers first need to look at the qualification they have,
they should look if potential employees are qualified enough to join the business, and if they
are eager enough to learn new things after selecting qualified candidates, the manager
should look call them for interviews and then when the news employees are hired they
should be trained so that they are ready to work on the new item.

15. Develop a summary at the end of the report indicate the process of monitoring and review
operational performance.
a. Include review performance system and process according to target set and KPI’s.
b. Review financial performance
c. Ensure sufficient support and coaching available for staff underperforming to achieve the
project deadline within timeline.
d. System in place to record and documentation of the operational plan according to
organisational procedures.

In order to review the monitoring process and reviewing operational performance we have
some systems in place such as proper inspection and evaluation at regular time intervals
and also we would look at the financial performance as well, to see how much money we
have spent and how much we have earned if we have spent more than we will control our
expenses. As if the goals are not being achieved then we will look to see which
employees are not working at their best and then try to help them by offering them
training so they could submit their tasks on time.

4.0 Risk

The timely recruitment and training of new staff is a key success factor in meeting the strategic
objectives of the business plan. In order to meet the objectives it is necessary to have recruited the
new staff and up-skilled our current staff in after-sales product support by 31 August. In the event that
we do not meet these objectives, we have budgeted an additional 5% of training costs to employ a
training consultant to provide additional training resources.

It is critical that our outlet managers monitor the progress of their operational plans against the target
KPIs established. To that end, it is essential to review the operational plan monthly.

Annex C: Purchasing Resource Acquisition Policy

Purpose

The goal of this policy is to ensure that products and services purchased by or contracted for BizOps
Enterprises conform to the organisation’s needs and comply with the BizOps Sustainability
environmental policy. BizOps will strive, where feasible, to use the most efficient, effective and
environmentally responsible purchasing process that meets the organisation’s needs.

The emphasis on purchasing environmentally friendly products is part of the organisation’s clear
commitment to its customers, employees, and natural environment. It is hoped that by having an
environmentally sustainable purchasing policy, other producers and suppliers will also be encouraged
to support and adopt environmentally preferable products and practices.

Scope

This policy applies to the procurement of all goods, services, equipment and related services
undertaken by BizOps irrespective of the nominated settlement method. Settlement methods include
purchasing and contracting activities.

Policy statement

BizOps will maximise the benefits that can be delivered through effective, efficient and
environmentally responsible procurement of all goods and services. The organisation endeavours to
carry out all purchasing activities in a manner that is ethical, honest and fair to all stakeholders.

Principles

The organisation will:


 endeavour to always get value for money
 be held accountable for all procurement results
 ensure the decision-making process is transparent and documented
 ensure that all staff involved in the purchasing process possess and demonstrate at all times
highly developed professional ethics and standards of personal integrity
 comply with all aspects of Australian laws and regulations that pertain to purchasing goods and
services
 integrate the practice of sustainability (wherever possible) into the acquisition of goods and
services by, where possible, prioritising products that:
 contain the highest percentage of postconsumer recycled content possible
 are made with renewable energy
 are reusable, recyclable or bio-based/compostable
 have minimal packaging
 serve several functions (e.g. generic cleaning detergents)
 have minimal effect on the depletion of natural resources and biodiversity
 are provided by suppliers and contractors who, themselves conduct their businesses in an
environmentally friendly way.

All BizOps staff who are responsible for purchasing decisions will undergo training to ensure they
understand the requirements of this policy.

Noncompliance with the terms of this policy may lead to disciplinary action.

Authorised purchasing officers

Annex F: Information Management Procedures


Introduction

BizOps Enterprises maintains electronic and paper-based information management systems. The
filing system is decentralised. Each department keeps the files it is responsible for in filing cabinets in
the department. Each staff member is responsible for contributing to the maintenance of the filing
system. Each manager has to approve any new files that are created.

Paper-based files are indexed and named according to the department’s procedures; for example,
using keywords (names, subjects or geographic location), alphabetically or numerically (dates,
customer numbers or file numbers).

Journals, reference books, research reports and annual reports are kept in the BizOps library.

Departmental information

Business administration department: The filing system includes the organisation’s structure,
company locations, business plans, research, annual reports and brochures. Company information is
filed in the paper-based and electronic filing system. Information is classified into subjects and files
that are arranged alphabetically.

Finance department: The filing system includes financial forecasts; salary information such as salary
scales, policies about salary levels and changes to salary levels; leave; information on tax rates, group
certificates and superannuation; and reporting requirements. Reporting information is filed in the
paper-based filing system. Information is classified into subjects and files that are arranged
alphabetically.

Sales/department: The filing system includes sales, marketing, complaints and correspondence.

HR department: The filing system includes records about the company’s employees such as
contracts, contact details and medical requirements; a copy of the employee’s resume; copies of
personal documents such as qualifications and applications for leave; positions, training and reporting
information; complaints; and forms such as leave application forms, training forms and job application
forms.

Each employee has a paper-based file as well as an electronic record in the employee database.
These records are secure and confidential. A password is required to access the employee database
and a key is required to open the filing cabinet. Permission to access these records must be obtained
from the manager. The paper-based files are arranged alphabetically. The electronic record for each
employee also includes the hours they have worked and the amount of leave owing to them.

Company position files are created and stored in the electronic filing system. Copies are also kept in
the paper-based files. The paper-based and electronic files are cross-referenced in an index that is in
the computer system as well as paper-based. There is a separate file for each vacant position.

Files include the following.


Positions This contains position descriptions for jobs that have just been created or to
vacant replace somebody who has left.
Positions filled This contains position descriptions for jobs in which people are currently working.
Positions Old position descriptions for jobs the company no longer needs are archived on the
redundant computer after they are a year old. Paper-based files are taken to secondary
storage in the basement
Applications This contains applications received in response to vacant positions being
received advertised.
Applications This contains applications from people who were not selected for the job being
unsuccessful advertised. These are destroyed six months after the position has been filled.

Learner Guide/Student Assessment
BSBMGT517 Manage Operational Plan

Training information is filed in the paper-based filing system. Files are arranged by subject and include
the following.

Training (past courses) This contains records of past training courses run by the company.
Training (current courses) This contains records of current training courses run by the company,
including the following files: communication skills, computing, customer
service and leadership management.
Training (future courses) This contains files on planning for future courses to be run by the
company.
Training (external) This contains information about training programs run by other
agencies.
Training (forms) This contains application forms for training.

Security measures
The following security measures must be implemented:
 Keep hard-copy cabinet files locked; return the key to your manager.
 Obtain signed authorisation from a manager for access to restricted paper-based or electronic
files.
 Use the correct password (available from your manager) when accessing restricted computer
files.
 Store confidential computer information on a thumb drive or external hard drive and store in a
locked cupboard.
 Keep paper files in a safe place when out of the system; do not leave files lying around
unprotected.
 Do not remove items from a file unless authorised to do so.
 Use BizOps’s off-site back-up storage when authorised to do so.

Procedures for maintaining the BizOps electronic information management system


The BizOps information management system is set up to provide a clear, logical system for saving
electronic files on the BizOps network, which will result in easy access to documents.

Enter and retrieve data


To enter data:
 confirm the information you are to enter
 access the correct file or database using the index
 key in the information required
 check the information is correct
 save the file.

To retrieve data:
• confirm:
the information you are seeking
who it is for
when they need it
• identify if there is any authorisation needed for access
• access the correct file using the index or use a search engine for the internet
• check the date of the information to ensure it is:
current, if required
the correct date if it is an archived file
• print out relevant information
• use a file marker to indicate that a file has been taken.

Establish a new folder or file


Form 110: Learner Guide/Student Assessment: BSBMGT517 Manage Operational Plan
Berkeley College Pty Ltd ABN 85 136 626 956 Page 49 of 54
CRICOS: 03266E, RTO: 22316 T/As North Melbourne College Version 2
Learner Guide/Student Assessment
BSBMGT517 Manage Operational Plan

Before creating a new folder, think carefully about what is to be saved in the folder and who needs to
access the information. Do not create a new folder for a single document unless you are sure that
multiple files relating to the same topic will soon be saved in that folder.

Documents should be clearly named with the generic topic first. This ensures that similar documents
will appear together when file names are sorted alphabetically. If a large number of related documents
begin to appear in a folder, a sub-folder on that specific topic can be created. Remember to always
ensure file and folder names adhere to file-naming conventions (see below).

Steps:
1. Create or assign a name or number to the file according to the BizOps file-naming conventions.
2. Make sure the new file fits into the existing system or is set up logically.
3. Create an index card or entry for the new file.
4. Document the new file in a file register or database.

File-naming conventions

When creating new documents and folders, it is important that all staff maintain a consistent approach
to the way files and folders are named.

The following rules are to be applied to all files and folders created:
 Use all lowercase.
 Do not use punctuation or special characters such as \ / : * ? “ < > | [ ] & $ , . ‘ ( ) ! ; , #.
 Do not use spaces.
 Use a hyphen to separate words.
 Go from general to specific information; for example, sales-meeting-20150308-agenda, sales
meeting 20150308-minutes.
 Write dates as year, month, day; for example, 20140516, 20140623.
 Be clear and concise – keep file names short.

Storage

Information may be stored on USB devices, CDs or external hard drives. Images and videos are
stored in the image bank on the BizOps network.

Archiving procedures: removing or relocating files

Files should be inspected on a regular basis to identify those that:

 have not been accessed for a given period of time (inactive)


 are no longer useful to the organisation (dead)
 are older than a specified date or time
 relate to specific subjects, organisations or individuals and must be retained for legislative
purposes.

Store inactive files

Steps:

1. Remove inactive records from the active electronic filing system or paper-based system.
2. Use compression software to compress computer files.
3. Store files that are longer used but may be needed in the future in a secondary or separate storage
system.
4. Transfer inactive files that have a fixed time period (financial records) at the end of the period.

CRICOS: 03266E, RTO: 22316 T/As North Melbourne College Version 2
Learner Guide/Student Assessment
BSBMGT517 Manage Operational Plan

5. Inactive files must be inspected on a six-monthly basis to determine whether they should be kept
or destroyed.

Store dead files

Taxation documents and business documents that are completed and closed are ‘dead’ files.

Steps:
1. Archive dead files for seven years if required for taxation purposes.
2. Destroy files after seven years, or when they are no longer required.

Catalogue and index inactive or dead files

Always prepare an up-to-date catalogue and file index to help people access inactive or dead files in
their new location to facilitate easy access to archived information and files.

Storage options for inactive or dead files

Archive boxes Store inactive or dead files in archive boxes. Label these clearly to identify the
contents; for example, ‘Customer Records July 2007 to June 2008’. Give a
reference number to, and list, every document and file in the box.
Separate filing Store inactive or dead files in BizOps’s off-site location. Stamp or mark files to
cabinets indicate they are inactive. Change the central index or system for recording
the location of all files to indicate the inactive status of the information. If
required, the information can be retrieved from the inactive or archived filing
cabinets.
Electronic storage Store information on USBs, DVDs, CDs or external hard drives. Accurately
devices index all information contained on electronic storage devices to ensure easy
access to the information.
Email Save dead or inactive email information to a computer-based or electronic
storage device by moving them from your general inbox to the archive area of
your mail program. Then, save the information to a data file that you have
created on your server or on the electronic storage device. Your email
program may automatically mark them as deleted.

Deleting files

Files may only be destroyed or deleted by authorised personnel or those instructed to do so. Keep a
register of files removed or destroyed or obtain written permission to remove or destroy information.

Delete or archive files:


 that have not been accessed for three years
 of personnel who have left the organisation after the period they are legally required to be kept.

Task 3: Case Study

Your performance will be documented while being observed by your Trainer/Assessor. You should
demonstrate skills in developing and monitoring implementation of the operational plan to provide
efficient and effective workplace practices within the organisation’s productivity and profitability plans.

 Using the simulated organisation information provided in Appendix 3 identify three areas of
non-performance.

Many few people completed the whole training process as some worked part time as well.
Customer feedback forms were not implemented or made.
Karen overspent on induction ceremony

 Develop recommendations to address these areas of non-performance

The issue consist of three parts the first part is that most of Karen employees worked part time
meaning they didn’t have time to attend the service program which created a problem as they
won’t know how to work. The second issue is that the customer feedback form are not made and
given to the customers so without them, Karen wouldn’t know if the customers liked the service.
The third issue is that Karen overspent on the induction ceremony which lead to problems in the
wage budget.
Now in order to solve them first Karen had to convince the part timers to join the training sessions
atleast till its finisihed then Karen should personally print them customer feedback forms and give
it to her workers so that she strat distributing it to the customers. And lastly Karen should to
increase their sales to recover the amount of money that was lost in the induction cermemony as
that money is gone. As she does this, this will lead to people being trained and usefull, customer
feedback will show in which areas to improve, and more sales will lead to more wage budget
which will help the organization.

her store to achieve 10% sales growth she identified the following KPIs to measure the
performance of her plan.

recorded the following achievement against the KPIs:
 Sales to date have increased by 5%.
 Ten out 45 staff have completed selling services program. Upon investigation Karen
finds that the program is only run Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. Most of
Karen’s staff are part time and casual and work the afternoon, evening and weekend
shift and therefore they are not able to attend the session.
 All new employees have completed the store induction however it has resulted in
Karen’s wages budget being consistently overspent to cover the wages of staff when
attending the induction.
 Customer feedback forms have not been developed and implemented.

provided very useful information regarding services sales. For example most sales
occur outside of business hours and with the average sales value $25.00.
