The aim of having a clear and well written policies and procedures increases the transparency, accountability, uniformity and stability of organizational operations. The organizational procedure that requires the development and modification in the present organization is the sustainable policy and procedure
Identify an organisational procedure which required the development or modification of existing processes. Explain why this is the case and suggest how this could be done.
The operational procedures that requires development in the present organization is in the areas of order placing, receiving goods, picking goods, returning and delivery.
· Developing and modifying the operational procedures are required to improve the day-to-day functioning of the business and effectively overcome the business issues that are coming up.

You may present your answer in bullet point form.
In order to ensure that all the relevant information is discussed and validated it is effective to outline a proper methods and procedure.
· Firstly it is essential to check the data to confirm that the data that has been considered for the given discussion is correct.
· Secondly it is evident to consider a code check to ensure that the field selected from a valid list of values or follows a certain formatting rules.
· Thirdly it is also relevant to check the format in which the discussions are presented.
· Fourthly a consistency check confirms that the information is communicated in a consistent manner.
· The information is also communicated and discussed by developing proper scenarios and using cases for providing are the operational concepts of the information that is being provided.

Activity 1C
Objective
To provide you with an opportunity to identify how to evaluate current procedures to ensure development is not unnecessarily duplicating previous work
Outline one method which can be used to evaluate a procedure in place within your current or previous workplace.
Evaluating the current procedures is effective to ensure that this particular procedure requires modification and improvements. The evaluation procedure are guided by the following steps:
· The first step of evaluating the current procedure is planning that gives an insight to decide what are the aspects that needs to be evaluated and how will this plan work out for proper evaluation. It is a simple process that can be initiated by getting employee feedback for carrying out a direct observation in the workplace.
· Data Collection is an evident part of the evaluating process to gather information about the relevant procedure in function in the organization. At this point it is effective to discover what aspects that are concerning the changes needed to be made in the current procedures that are providing barriers to achieve the organizational goals.
· The third step requires proper analysis of the data that has been collected for determining the outcomes and aspects that are required to determine the gaps that exist in the current procedures. It also contemplates the need for improvement.
· Proper documentation from the collected information will help in an effective evaluation of the current procedures associated with the organizational operation.
Consider how you can ensure that development of this procedure will not duplicate previous work.
(Max. 200 words)
The current procedures are evaluated effectively search that it is not duplicating the previous works as it is already outlined that unlike the previous implementation and evaluation the present procedure takes into consideration an effective planning process, data collection, data analysis and proper documentation of the relevant procedure.
The initial procedure that prevailed did not have enough guidelines regarding the planning and proper documentation was not efficient. However, modification of the policies and procedure with an effective validation of the information sustains that the procedure is not duplicating the previous work.
Activity 1D
Objective
To provide you with an opportunity to identify factors likely to impact on the development process are and outline how to adopt techniques for their incorporation into the procedure/s
1. Identify three factors which might have an impact on the development process.
The three factors that have an impact on the developmental process are cost factor, time and staffing requirements.
· Cost is an important factor for the developmental process in the organisation because it determines the profitability of the business. The higher the cost the lower is the possibility of profitability in the associated developmental process. Thus, for the economic sustainability it is effective to ensure that the cost is minimised forgetting the maximum profitability from the associated developmental process.
· Time is another important factor that effectively impact on the development process. The greater the time taken for the development processes the longer it required to realise the profitability from the mentioned processes. Therefore, the development process needs to be conducted through proper action plan and time plan by using methods like PERT method or Gantt charts.
· Staffing requirements and considering the right person in the right jobs within the organisation is one of the relevant aspects that leads to the maximum productivity and higher performance for the associated development process.
