Product Customer needs
At least two for each product
i. Coal This division manufactures and sells natural gas for use in transportation and industrial generation
information. BHP operates mines in both Australia and South America. This sector also develops
and distributes tough coking coal, which is used in the mining industry.
BHP has operations in Queensland and New South Wales, as well as a 33 percent stake in the

Service Customer needs
At least two for each service
i. The operating model is meant to allow each Organization to focused on its basic government
purposes of maintaining employee safety, increasing output, and lowering costs. It also assures that
each Organization has independence and the abilities to create effective and efficient decisions.
Additionally, by segregating marketing, management, and executive operational strategies from the
Subsidiaries, each Business can benefit from standardised corporation procedures while being less
impacted by economic considerations. It also fosters strategy implementation and allows for
broader portfolio and rational decision at the entire corporate level.
ii. The operating model of BHPB is based on minimalism and homogeneity. Mandatory quality
standards, current leadership architecture, common systems and procedures, and similar analysis
and project are all examples of this.
Despite the relative uniformity of extracting processes and the magnitude of Tier 1 assets, there
seem to be substantial benefits in standardising processes and procedures, switching power, and
technology throughout the organisation, while operating and selling things in several various
locations and marketplaces.
d. Target market for the products and services identified

Product Target market for each product
i. A target market is a group of possible wishes to sell products would like to sell its items / products.
This category also covers individual clients who are targeted by a business's marketing campaigns.
A target market is a segment of a product or service's overall market. In July 2020, the coal giant
reported a 3% drop in sales to 37.36 million tonnes. Following the interruptions induced by the
COVID-19 epidemic, Coal India Ltd has lowered its output plan for FY 2020-21 to 650-660 million
tonne, an executive said this on Saturday.
ii. Australia exported $64 billion worth of coal in 2019. Australia's greatest customer was Japan,
which accounted for 27% of our annual coal exports ($17 billion). China followed in next,
accounting for 13.7 billion dollars worth of our coal production.
Service Target market for each service
i. Some businesses compile a market needs document when establishing a new product or bringing an
organization ’s competitive advantage to a market segment (MRD). This is very prevalent in
companies that have top executives or who administer product development or market presence
efforts as contracts. The documentation has been used to govern the product or service's design,
manufacture, or production and manufacturing. The material may be combined into a broader
marketing campaign for a product line range, or the documentation may be referred to that other
name in various organisations.
ii. Mining is also a lengthy industry, because unlike production and other industry industries, being a
decreased operation requires more than just organisational structure. The key nature of the
resources element, like whether it is Tier 1 or not, are a primary driver of cost structure. From
identification to first revenue, these assets might take anywhere between 10 and 20 weeks to
construct. BHPB's business style and central decision allow it to make individual, real worth
selections about such assets (whether it is through research or new purchases) while also increasing
the effectiveness of its current properties.

Human resources service Based on corporate strategy, company goals, and
planning processes, a company may construct an
effective human resource plan to establish staffing
acceptance criteria. The plan should include a list of
required skills and expertise, as well as learning &
growth requirements. The plan may then determine
if the employees are comprehensive, portion,
temporary, contract, or casual. HR requirements are
likely to vary as the company develops and evolves.
Managers and key personnel must constantly
evaluate each employee's position description and
responsibilities while taking into account the
company's budget, technological advancements, and
planned changes.
Physical resource services Facilities, technology, and commodities, including
office building, servers, software, furnishing,
production machines, and raw materials, are forms of
direct commodities. It's possible that electricity will
have to be considered. Relevant unit projections and
budgeting must account for this. Every operation
must be examined to determine the physical
capabilities required to meet the performance targets.
To make sure that the company has the means to
terms of time and resources, resources must also be
reported for.
