Understanding the assessment grading system
Assessments for qualifications are competency based, which means students are assessed against the unit of
competency (unit) requirements. Assessment results are recorded as follows:
Satisfactory (S) result: the student’s submitted work satisfies the learning requirements and all
competency standards for the unit (in accordance with the National Register www.training.gov.au).
Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS) result: the student’s submitted work does not demonstrate their
understanding of all competency standards in the unit. If a student receives a ‘not yet satisfactory’
outcome, he or she will receive written feedback from a trainer/assessor, clearly outlining where the
gaps are. The student will then be required to rectify these gaps and re-submit their assessment for
marking.
Once a student receives a satisfactory result for all required assessment tasks a competent (C) outcome will be
awarded for the entire unit. The student must demonstrate their understanding of all competency standards in each
unit before receiving a competent outcome.
Important note: Each student has three (3) attempts to achieve a competent outcome. If the student is deemed Not
Yet Competent (NYC) on the third attempt, the student may need to re-enrol into the unit as per First Choice
Training’s Assessment Policy.
In keeping with a paperless system, the Learner Workbook is assessed with comments and this document will be
returned to you as a PDF document. For each re-submission, you will need to update your existing Learner
Workbook by deleting the incorrect answers and replacing them with your new responses. Remember to update
theLearner Details and Declarations section with the new submission date each time.

Q1. What type of resource requirements do you need to consider for an operational plan? Your response must be
approximately 100 words in length.
An operational plan is constructed when there is a need to attain a vision. The vision could be both short-term and
long-term. This is required at the different stages to either acquire a competitive advantage or to enhance the
business profitability. In every identified purpose, some resources are required. Those resources are as follows:
Physical resources-
This include but are not limited to such as the required machineries to use, the locations to relocate and the lands
to facilitate the needed construction (Fuerst 2013).
Human resources-
This includes the recruitment of required staffs. The requirement may vary from industry to industry and from one
vision to another. For example, if the operation plan is related with the improvement of marketing plan then this will
require having expert professionals who could effectively conduct the process. Additionally, there will also be the
requirement to give training to those that are experienced and have had invested a significant time in the specific
company (Fuerst 2013).
Financial resources-
This will be required on the activities that have been highlighted such as purchasing of machineries, investments
on land purchasing, expenditures on interview process and also on the training process (Fuerst 2013).
Q2. Who do you consider to be essential to the consultation process when preparing an operational plan? Your
response must be approximately 50 words in length.
It varies from one organization to another. In general, it is better to include the entire stakeholders to consult
the operational plan. The consultation is required with the board of directors as they will approve the same. It is
also required from the human resource department. They will plan the required resources for the plan.
Moreover, consultation with employees especially to those who are tenured. They may also help with necessary
suggestions (Fuerst 2013) .
Q3. Explain how you will acquire physical resources. Your response must be approximately 100 words in length.
Acquisition of physical resources goes through a systematic process. To get the required physical resources for the
planned operational plan, an approval from the managing directors will be needed. This will help the process to
reach to the next level. In the next level, the human resource management will discuss with the admin
department for getting the approximate figure of the entire expenses. Once the estimation is received, the admin
department will get in contact with the company’s finance department to check the available funds. The finance
department will make the budget for the project and accordingly will release the required expenditures for the
acquisition of identified physical resources (Fuerst 2013).
Q4. Apart from the SMARTTA method, list three (3) alternate approaches to developing key performance
indicators for a business.

Q5. Based on your company or an organisation you are familiar with, outline and explain the steps involved in
the induction process. Your response must be approximately 200 words in length.
Following are the different steps that are generally involved in an induction process (Daskalaki 2012):
Welcoming the selected professionals
Explaining about the company
Making the professionals familiar to the departments where they will work. This will help them avoid the
harassment that is a part of first day at workplace while searching the specific department. This will also
allow them mix up with the tenured employees who all are the part of the same departments.
Giving the company’s manual to the newly recruited professionals. This will help them in integrating with
the policies of the company. Moreover, they will also be able to know much about the company, which is
necessary to understand the work culture. Furthermore, they will also get to know the company’s
mission and vision, which will encourage professionals to align their contributions to the identified goals.
Briefing them on the extra benefits apart from the basic pay. Additionally, they will also be made aware
with the leave and holidays policies.
Future training and development process will also be explained if it is feasible with the specific
organization.
At the end, they will be asked if they have any queries of any difficulties to understand any part of the
induction. They will be taken through the process again if such thing happens.
Q6. List and explain three (3) strategies that could be used to acquire physical resources and services for a
company.
1. Preparing an operation plan-
This will include the documentation of every required resource such as the physical resources. The
documents will be submitted to the managing directors. They on the basis of agreed views will arrive on
a conclusion. The agreed views will include the managing directors and the entire stakeholders (Fuerst
2013).
2. Project timeline-
This will include a follow up process for the escalated requirements. Moreover, an approval from the
board of directors is waited (Fuerst 2013).
3. Communicating with the human resource and the finance department-
This will be done to get the further instructions from the HRM on how to approach with the plan.
Moreover, the financial department will then be approached once the documentation is approved
(Fuerst 2013).
Q7. It is important to understand the intellectual property rights and responsibilities when acquiring resources
and services for an organisation. Research and provide an explanation of your understanding of the following:

Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012
BSBMGT517 – Learner Workbook V1
Page 12 of 26
Intellectual Property Laws Amendment Act 2015
Your response must be approximately 500 words in length.
Copyright Act 1968-
The act came into existence in the year 1968 in Australia. It was brought in existence to protect the intellectual
property and its rights. The intellectual property for a company can be anything such as the different physical
resources. Ensuring the intellectuality of physical resources at the time of its acquisition is necessary to ensure
the followings (Gleeson, Tienhaara and Faunce 2012):
This will help to purchase only those resources that are high on intellectuality. Moreover, duplicity will
be avoided.
Such strategies do ensure that investments have been made in an appropriate direction.
This will also help to avid an unnecessary use of funds, which is necessary to enhance the profitability
venture.
This will also ensure that employees keep a good care of the intellectual policies
Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012-
The policy is a modified version of Australian Privacy Principles, which encourages the assurance of privacy
protection. The acquisition of physical resources required to implement an operational plan will need to meet
the following criterions (Gleeson, Tienhaara and Faunce 2012):
A company looking to acquire physical resources for a proposed operational plan need to have a well
defined privacy policy, so that, it is in compatibility to the Australian Privacy Principles (or APPs)
They are not supposed to disclose any ideas such as the marketing ideas if they have any
If the business deal is with an overseas organization then it is necessary to check whether the overseas
organization complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (or APPs).
Companies should have adequate and suitable policies to handle the complaints.
Intellectual Property Laws Amendment Act 2015-
This amendment is to bring a much simplified IP system in Australia. One of the biggest benefits of the
amendment will be that the innovators and the inventors will find things lot easier now to patent the same
through just a single examination and the single application process. This policy will help to set up a single
economic market in between the two specific countries. This policy will also enable filing the intellectual
properties equally in the two different centers Australia and New Zealand. The filed application will be accessible
from the two different offices at the two different places. The policy will also encourage the generic medicines
manufacturers to produce patent medicines for life killing diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. Such
medicines will be sent to developing countries where people have no access to such medicines. This reflects a
significant role of Australia as an international citizen (Gleeson, Tienhaara and Faunce 2012).

This will help to purchase only those resources that are high on intellectuality. Moreover, duplicity will
be avoided.
Such strategies do ensure that investments have been made in an appropriate direction.
This will also help to avid an unnecessary use of funds, which is necessary to enhance the profitability
venture.
This will also ensure that employees keep a good care of the intellectual policies
Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012-
The policy is a modified version of Australian Privacy Principles, which encourages the assurance of privacy
protection. The acquisition of physical resources required to implement an operational plan will need to meet
the following criterions (Gleeson, Tienhaara and Faunce 2012):
A company looking to acquire physical resources for a proposed operational plan need to have a well
defined privacy policy, so that, it is in compatibility to the Australian Privacy Principles (or APPs)
They are not supposed to disclose any ideas such as the marketing ideas if they have any
If the business deal is with an overseas organization then it is necessary to check whether the overseas
organization complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (or APPs).
Companies should have adequate and suitable policies to handle the complaints.
Intellectual Property Laws Amendment Act 2015-
This amendment is to bring a much simplified IP system in Australia. One of the biggest benefits of the
amendment will be that the innovators and the inventors will find things lot easier now to patent the same
through just a single examination and the single application process. This policy will help to set up a single
economic market in between the two specific countries. This policy will also enable filing the intellectual
properties equally in the two different centers Australia and New Zealand. The filed application will be accessible
from the two different offices at the two different places. The policy will also encourage the generic medicines
manufacturers to produce patent medicines for life killing diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. Such
medicines will be sent to developing countries where people have no access to such medicines. This reflects a
significant role of Australia as an international citizen (Gleeson, Tienhaara and Faunce 2012).

Q8. Describe three (3) systems or processes that you can use to monitor the achievement of profit and
productivity targets. Your response must be approximately 200 words in length.
1. Gross profit margin is one of the processes, which is used to measure the achievement of profits. This
will tell the gross profits over the entire sum that has been invested (Jamaludin, Ahmad and Ramayah
2012).
2. Net profit margin is another process to measure the productivity of the implemented plan. This narrows
down the profit margin as it involves every single associated costs not just the direct ones. This will be
less than the actual gross profit margin; however, will tell the actual profits on all the expenses made
over a specific operational plan (Jamaludin, Ahmad and Ramayah 2012).
3. Return on Investments (ROIs) is another very effective process that gives its calculation in percentage
figure. This helps to measure how well the implemented plan is performing. Profits thus incurred in the
different years can easily be calculated by plotting it on a graph. Moreover, this helps to conduct a
comparative analysis of profit’s behaviour (Jamaludin, Ahmad and Ramayah 2012).
Q9. Complete the table by identifying three (3) causes of staff under-performance and recommend a solution for
each cause.
Causes of under-performance Recommended solution/s
1. Staffs are underperformed when they are not
able to finish up the project within a set deadline
for it (Sibanda et al. 2014).
The recommended solution will be to identify the
possible flaws, which could have hampered the
project. This could include many such as identifying
those who have been incompetent in the group.
Moreover, in all the future projects the selection of
staffs will be made on the identified strategies
during a specific project.
2. Staffs are underperforming when they are not
able to justify their roles (Sibanda et al. 2014).
Efforts will be required to pull out the possible
reasons behind the unawareness with the respective
roles. If it is because the staffs are not very familiar
with the roles then there will be the requirement to
train them. In this way they could head for solving
the issue. However, if it is related with their
negligence then that must be dealt with strict action
such as warning them for not to repeat the same
thing again or else they will be liable for the
consequences.

In all such situations, there is a need to push them.
There is the needs of few feedback session, which
will focus on highlighting the area of flaws that
actually hampered their production. Moreover, the
identified staffs will be asked to focus more on the
identified areas.
Q10. Operational plans allow managers to track performance, achieve objectives, minimise disruptions and
improve business operations. Researchand explaintwo (2) models or methods that are used to shape operational
plans.
1. Issues-Based Model for Strategic Planning is one of such models that will help to facilitate the
implementation of operational plan. This is indeed a very important model as it is based on identifying
issues that could hamper the progress of plan (Belekoukias, Garza-Reyes and Kumar 2014). This is
effective as well because it works on 5-7 current issues that the plan is facing. Moreover, suitable action
plans will be made to mitigate every single issue over the next 6-12 months.
2. Model for Conventional Strategic Planning is another very important model that will help to develop a
suitable mission or vision. It provides a good look on both the outside and the inside of the organization.
Accordingly firms can develop the relevant action plans. However, this model is useful only when the
specific company has sufficient resources with it. Moreover, the specific company should not have a
long-list of issues. The model thus will be effective if it is implemented after Issues-Based Model for
Strategic Planning as the issues-based model will help to mitigate the issues (Belekoukias, Garza-Reyes
and Kumar 2014).
Q11. Complete the table by identifying one (1) policy, one (1) practice and one (1) procedure that must be
considered when developing an operational plan. Provide an explanation for each example.
Policy There are ample of policies
that are associated to an
operational plan. It is even
more difficult to select only
one policy; however, to satisfy
the needs of the question, one
of such policies will be to
reduce the workplace hazards
(Sachdeva and Malhotra
2015).
Explanation Workplace hazards can be anything that has
potentials in it to cause an unwanted accident
at the workplace. For example, the surface in
the lab is very slippery. This may be fatalistic to
those who will go inside the lab. They may fell
down and get an unwanted injury like broken
legs or hands. This is one of the kinds of
workplace hazards.

will help in taking significant steps, which could
be helpful in mitigating the possible hazards.
Nevertheless, an action is only viable when a
requirement for it has been felt.
Procedure In case of slippery surface,
cleaners need to be
approached to get it clean
properly. There is also a need
to ensure that cleaning
process is done on a regular
basis (Sachdeva and Malhotra
2015).
Explanation Cleaners will help to get the surface clean. They
are the right person for the identified hazard.
Moreover, ensuring a regular cleaning of
surface will ensure a reduced or possibly no
hazards in the lab.
Q12. In your own words, explain how an operational plan assists with the achievement of the organisation’s
objectives. Your response must be approximately 150 words in length.
Operational plan helps to attain the set objectives. This can well be understood from a simple example. Suppose
that a company has planned to enhance its marketing capabilities so as to reach a wider customer base and
hence, drive more profitability. For the identified purpose, there is a need of putting added emphasis on the
marketing activities. This may include but is not limited to such as introducing a new marketing strategy that has
never been adopted before. The adoption of a new marketing strategy like the online marketing will definitely
need consultation from expert marketing professionals. Additionally, there will also be the need of some
additional human resource. Financial resources will also be required. This is indeed a significant change in the
operation. Moreover, there will be the need to guide such a big process without any failure. This is where an
operational plan becomes a viable fact. Operation plan will indeed help through the entire process of bringing
the change.
Q13. Research and explain the relevance of two (2) pieces of legislation in the context of developing an

PART 4: Review performance
Six months after the management meeting and implementation of the operational plan, you conduct a review of
the company’s performance. The findings are as follows:
Increased revenue through marketing campaigns by 20%
Received only 10 online bookings made in 6 months
Overall customer satisfaction levels decreased by 10%
You are surprised that the customer satisfaction levels have dropped. After speaking with all of the local managers
you discover that they were unsure of how to navigate the new online booking system and therefore unable to
train their employees properly. This explained why there were few online bookings and why overall customer
satisfaction levels dropped by 10%.
To address these issues, the local managers will need some coaching and mentoring from you. Use Appendix 2 to
develop a training plan.
PART 5: Monitor, review and document performance
In your own words, explain how you will continue to monitor and review the company’s performance over the next
6 months.
As mentioned, training is required for the local managers to make them able to help their team members
efficiently. However, it is also necessary to monitor how the training has worked. This could be done through
measuring the implementation of training modules in the live projects. Setting a key performance indicator will
help to monitor the impact of training. The most appropriate KPI will be the increment in the customer
satisfaction level.
The review could be done by getting the results of monitoring done on the impact of training process. The results
will help to compare the data with the previous records. Moreover, a change will be observed that will educate
whether it is positive.
The documentation of performance can be done through training process whenever it is required. This can be
done after getting the results of the review that has been made over the performance.
Develop a record keeping system that will allow management personnel to easily access and update information
