RCM301 Assessment 2_26032020 Page 1 of 4 Context Pearson and Clair mentioned that ‘crisis is a low-probability, however, high impact event that threatens the viability of the organisation’ (1998, p.60). In other words, a crisis is an unexpected or sudden event which may drive an organisation to instability. Hence, organisations need to be prepared to face these adverse and unexpected conditions. Understanding of and analysis of the cause of the crisis is imperative before devising strategies to manage the crisis situations. Organisations equipped with sound risk and crisis management strategies can effectively manage adverse conditions from unexpected events and minimise overall damages. Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Business Impact Analysis (BIA) are examples of activities organisations undertake to prepare for and manage disruptions to service delivery from a crisis.

The organisation sources its chicken for their menu from Henderson’s Hens, a farm located in Gippsland, Victoria. The logistics of delivering the chicken to The Chicken Basket restaurants around Australia was previously handled directly by the organisation. Recently, the board decided to outsource the delivery process to a logistic partner (CTC Logistics) as a strategy to reduce operational costs. However, Henderson’s Hens farm was damaged in a recent thunderstorm, leading to the supplier struggling to provide sufficient stock to the restaurants. In addition, a delivery driver strike meant that CTC logistics failed to deliver chicken to restaurants on time, causing multiple issues. Most of the restaurants ran out of chicken products leading to reduced operating hours and/or restaurant closures. Many restaurants received customer complaints that the staff were ill-equipped to handle. As a result, the revenue loss for the organisation has been significant. In addition, many previously loyal customers have threatened to take their business to The Chicken Basket’s competitors. Students are required to develop a risk and crisis management proposal that addresses the following: • Provide a brief overview of the supply chain crisis experienced by The Chicken Basket. • Outline two (2) contingency
