Ocado Root Definition and Process Improvement

The assignment is to create a Root Definition, CATWOE, detailed Rich Picture and Flowchart for the new system of Ocado. Part 1 requires a 60-word Root Definition statement, a CATWOE table, and two hand-drawn Rich Pictures (one for current situation and one for future situation). The flowcharts should also be included with explanations. Part 2 needs a business process plan illustrating changes from 'AS IS' to 'TO BE', with detailed explanations and references to literature. Finally, Part 3 requires an analysis of how managers would turn performance objectives into operations priorities, resources required, costs for implementing the new process, and a Balanced Scorecard discussion on measuring post-implementation performance.
