Which provisions can you employ to deal with cost blow outs due to contractors not meeting their contractual schedules or obligations? When I create a budget for a plan, I consider all of the expenses that will be incurred to carry out the plan, as long as they are foreseeable. In addition, I will set aside 10% of the entire budget for unforeseen expenses. Working together on significant projects, such as building additions and restorations, is especially important. It's critical to set up money for contingencies. Unexpected delays and deviations from given figures can easily add up to additional costs. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/a5/7d/a57d0c7162049016e088958c12e0ac77cf33f225.docx

For example, if your business model relies on hiring a big number of people at high salaries, you may find yourself in financial problems rapidly. If your operational plan calls for the procurement of new equipment, but you subsequently learn that this equipment was not budgeted for, your plan will be unable to be implemented. In terms of the approval process, always check and follow your company's policy.

Question 21: Why is it important to notify managers and other upper level stakeholders as soon as possible when variations are discovered? What would this need to include accordingly? Any changes to the project should be communicated to all stakeholders and management so that everyone is aware of the current position. This is also necessary to keep the project on schedule and identify any areas where it could be improved. The same stakeholders who were involved in the original planning should be participating in this. Staff, consumers, owners, department managers, and other stakeholders should all be consulted about the new plans as new plans can have drawbacks. Consultation with stakeholders can help to find out the problems and suggestions for improvements can be made. The results of evaluation and feedback should be incorporated into future planning and operational management procedures. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/a5/7d/a57d0c7162049016e088958c12e0ac77cf33f225.docx

Course Code and Name: SIT50416 Diploma of Hospitality Management (Cookery) Unit Code: BSBMGT517 Unit Title: Manage operational plan Assessment 2 – Project 1 Part A Develop operational plan The Hotel Futura management has adopted a proposal to utilise a sunny indoor section of the lobby as a service point for morning and afternoon teas. It fits all the legal requirements regarding the serving of food and after a cost-benefit analysis, it was seen to potentially create a lucrative new revenue stream in a previously revenue-neutral floor space. As the Financial Controller, the next part of the operational planning phase requires you to do an analysis on the financial positions of two different options. The first option is to install a full espresso coffee service station in the designated area and the second option is to utilise the existing coffee facilities inside the busy 24 hour coffee shop outlet, situated 30 meters diagonally across the foyer. Among other evaluation activities in the initial planning phase, a guest marketing survey was conducted, the trading figures for the coffee shop were analysed and the following data emerged: Initial estimated covers per lobby tea service per week = 250 customers Budgeted average spend per cover excluding including GST = $18.50 Two existing food service attendants are allocated for 2.5 hours for each service period. One food service attendant will need to be hired to ensure the operation can operate 7 days a week. Each tea service operates for 2 hours only i.e. 10.00am-12.00pm and 2:30-4:30pm The existing low tables and comfortable lobby style seating are to be used so no other capital outlay is required to establish the revenue stream The room service kitchen prepares the sandwiches and delivers them to the pass in the pastry section of the main production kitchen, located directly behind the proposed outlet. Gâteaux and pastries are prepared and plated up by the pastry section The 2 food service attendants order and collect all food orders for this outlet from the pastry section pass in the main production kitchen, via a convenient service entry door located directly behind the proposed lobby tea area A set of service fridges in the front kitchen can be utilised for the storage and service of chilled alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/a5/7d/a57d0c7162049016e088958c12e0ac77cf33f225.docx Imagine Education Project

Part B Planning Resource Acquisition In this part of the assessment you are required to outline the processes and procedures you use for planning and managing the required physical and human resources. You are required to address the following aspects: 1. Develop and implement strategies to ensure that employees are recruited and/or inducted within the organisation's human resources management policies and practices Answer – Details and findings of discussions: Option 1 is to install a full espresso coffee service station in the designated area. Option 2 is to utilise the existing coffee facilities inside the buy 24-hour coffee shop outlet. The cost of purchasing a full espresso coffee service station could vary from $700 to $4,000 depending on which coffee machine is purchased. Leasing the coffee machine does not represent a good option on the long-term, as the company will pay for it without having the property. The cost of option 2 is inexistent, because facilities and equipment are already available. Option 2 requires the development of Standard Operating Procedures to make sure that operations run well. It might also require offering further training to current workers. The analysis indicates that option 2 is the best option, as the cost is reduced and training can be offered in-house.

The first day will be when the manager will supervise the employee performing tasks and conduct a performance appraisal. The second day will be a face-to-face meeting where the manager will provide feedback to the employee and collect feedback as well. 3. Policy review – every year 2.

Answer – The following strategies can be implemented to overcome the shortfalls – 1. Provision of training to staff how to handle customers’ complaints, how to make the service prompt can be provided. Prior to training, it is must to conduct evaluation on training needs of the staff and also check the previous record of training with HR department so it will help to find out the gap. 2. Consultation - The second step is to consult with staff members to agree on training options that should be implemented to address training gaps. Documentation required will include training records and a training plan. 3. Communication - The third stage is to give staff with training while maintaining open lines of communication to ensure that it matches their learning needs and preferences. Training records and a report of completed training will be needed documentation. 4. Evaluation – monitor performance and conduct a meeting to ensure that training is being implemented effectively and it been documented properly. 6. Provide an overview o the potential cost factors for your suggested procedures including physical and human resource aspects as relevant. Answer - The potential cost factors for the suggested procedures are as follows - A department manager or supervisor will need to be allocated to offer training to workers. A venue will need to be located to conduct training sessions. Equipment will need to be available for training sessions. Team members will need to receive training during work hours. 7. In brief provide a critical reflection on your project: Given what you have observed, analysed in terms of resources required and the potential outcomes from the strategy you have developed, how viable is your strategy in terms of outlay required by the organisation? Would there be a more cost-effective option? Answer - In terms of the organization's outlay, I feel the approach is practical and the most cost- effective choice available. The reasons for this are because the organisation currently has all of the resources it needs, and providing training to employees would provide greater benefits than simply dealing with present issues. Because the costs involved will be indirect in terms of dedicating resources for training during work hours, the corporation will not have to incur any expenditures. This is a far better choice than hiring new employees. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/a5/7d/a57d0c7162049016e088958c12e0ac77cf33f225.docx
