INTRODUCTIONBusiness administration refers to the management of an organisation which includes allaspects of managing and supervising of operations and activities performed by the organisation.Business administration is essential for overseeing the performance of the various operations ofdifferent departments in order to improve them if needed. This report will discuss the use ofvarious problem-solving techniques, role of stakeholders, steps in decision-making process of thebusiness along with the purpose and benefits of continuous improvement. Further this report willdiscuss features, use and constraints of different continuous improvement methods with thescope and scale of a problem and importance of feedback. Also calculation of performancemeasures relating to cost, quality and delivery, justification and evidence of the case for adoptingimprovements along with the standard operating procedures and resource plans which can beused for implementing the agreed changes will be discussed.TASK 11.1: Explain the use of different problem-solving techniquesProblem solving technique are used for determining the solutions of the problems whichare faced by the organisations while performing their operations and activities. There are varioustypes of problem solving techniques which are used by the organisations such asabstraction,analogy, brainstorming, hypothesis testing, root cause analysis, trial-and-error etc.Abstraction: It state states that management needs to solve the problem practically beforeusing it for real system.Analogy: It refers to use of a particular solution for solving the analogous problems.Brainstorming: It suggest a pool of ideas or ideas from a large number of people fordetermining the solution.Hypothesis testing: It is used for estimating the possible solutions of the problems alongwith the proof for estimating.Root cause analysis: It is used for eliminating the root cause of the problem by analysingit thoroughly.Trial-and-error: It is used for testing the possible solutions until the problem is solved.4
