Subject: Proposal for Business Reports to Enhance Business Management and Customer
Service
Dear Tim,
Introduction
Tim Smith, the proprietor of Down Town Car Repair, seeks to augment business management
and customer service to bolster profits. Tim requires reports to measure and manage supplies,
suppliers, customers, bids, costs, and customer service outcomes (Laudon & Laudon, 2020;
Turban et al., 2019; O'Brien & Marakas, 2018). This proposal will analyze Tim's business case
and propose two reports to address his needs. Additionally, best practices for each report will be
outlined to ensure effective implementation.
Report 1: Supply and Supplier Management Report
Report Description:
The Supply and Supplier Management Report aims to provide insights into
inventory management, supplier relationships, and procurement processes. This report will
include key metrics such as inventory levels, supplier performance, cost analysis, and payment
status.
How it Supports Specific Goals:
Manage Supplies and Suppliers:
Tracking inventory levels and supplier performance
will enable Tim to optimize procurement processes, reduce costs, and ensure a timely
supply of materials.
Cost Management:
Cost analysis will facilitate identifying savings opportunities and
negotiating favorable terms with suppliers, ultimately reducing expenses.
Risk Mitigation:
Monitoring payment status will help Tim avoid late fees and
disruptions in supply, mitigating risks associated with supplier relationships.
Best Practices:
1.
Regular Data Updates:
Ensure inventory levels, supplier information, and payment
statuses are regularly updated to reflect the latest transactions.
2.
Establish KPIs:
Define key performance indicators such as inventory turnover rate and
supplier satisfaction score to measure performance and track improvements over time.
3.
Foster Communication:
Maintain open channels with suppliers to address issues and
build strong partnerships promptly.
4.
Implement Just-in-Time Inventory:
Utilize historical data and demand forecasting to
maintain optimal inventory levels, reducing carrying costs and minimizing wastage.
5.

Schedule periodic reviews with suppliers to
discuss performance metrics, negotiate contracts, and address any concerns or
opportunities for improvement.
