Introduction
The proposal will discuss the learning philosophy, intent and key points of the investigation that
are useful for conducting the study successfully. In addition, it also demonstrates the capabilities
that are developed from this course and the inquiry process that is used for collecting the
information. Moreover, the proposal will discuss the process of making a positive collaborative
team with efficient people.
Personal learning philosophy
The personal learning philosophy that I have gained from this course is that I came to know the
procedure which is used for spare parts inventory as well as for the supply chain procedure. I
have also understood the concept of vehicle spare parts and also inventory system procedure. By
analyzing both these concepts, the fleet companies have reduced their maintaining cost and
improved their operational reliability, safety and efficiency of the business procedure
(Spiliotopoulou, Donohue, Gürbüz & Heese, 2018). Hence, it is clear that from this course, I
have gained immense knowledge regarding the role of the inventory system and the
responsibility of management over a fleet organization.
The intent of the study
The study will intent the contribution of the inventory system as well as the vehicle’s spare parts
for developing the economic demands of the core business operation, especially for the fleet
industry. In addition, the study also determined the role of supplier inventory management in
enhancing consumer numbers in terms of supply on demand (Naliaka & Namusonge, 2015). The
study has also helped in understanding the responsibility of total quality management in
developing the sustainability of the company by improving their quality standards, track
reliability, optimization and opportunities of spare parts inventory. Another intent of the study is
to provide practical knowledge regarding the principle of consumer service care that is important
for attracting people from diverse culture of New Zealand.
Key points of the investigation
The key point of the investigation is to understand the duties of inventory management for spare
parts and its supply procedure, and this can be done by using various software systems. Besides
this, another key point of the investigation is to provide a brief demonstration on the operational

and technical knowledge that should be required for understanding the management role of the
fleet organization (Gochyyev & Skeem, 2019). It also helps in understanding the right way of
application of spare parts planning, tracking and risk assessment, management and quality
control of a fleet organization that has faced financial losses in their spare part department.
Capabilities develop from the course
The capabilities that will be developed from this course are provided below:
 It will help me to understand the way by which I can improve the economic demands of
a fleet organization
 It will enhance the capability of attracting more number of consumers for the
organization (Dreyfuss & Giat, 2019)
 The course will develop my knowledge on building positive operational environment
that can enhance the financial stability of the fleet organization
 It increases the capability of handling diverse culture people present throughout the New
Zealand motor industry
Process of making a positive collaborative team
The process that I should develop for making a positive collaborative team is to provide
leadership support to the team members. By creating supporting relationships with the team
members, a collaborative aspect must be produced with these members (Choi, Kim & Kang,
2017). Thus for making a positive collaborative team, I will regularly interact with my team
members and will provide them with proper support so that they can complete the task as per the
mentioned time frame. According to my view, effective team collaboration is important because
it helps the team to complete the work fruitfully and thus I have chosen this process so that all
team members including me can give full efforts in completing the project.
The inquiry process used for obtaining information
For obtaining information regarding the vehicle spare parts and the inventory system, I have read
several articles related to the topic, including journals and news articles and also learned many
things from the lecture notes properly. With the help of this secondary research process,
appropriate information has been obtained regarding this subject (Walker, Davis & Stevenson,
2017).

Conclusion
The paper concludes that the inventory system plays a vital role in enhancing the economic
demands and has helped in attracting the consumer towards the fleet organization. The study
further demonstrated the duties of management over this fleet organization and the investigation
has been done for obtaining relevant results. It is analyzed that the course has also generated a
positive impact on increasing my capabilities too.
