These all are major aspects of the company which manage by its top-level
management. There are functions, systems, processes are something similar to each
other but not fully. These all are completely interrelating with each other which
specifically defined below;

advantage in the market. There are many things are also comes under the business
environment which highly impacting to the Mo's Meals in both term; positively and

the first priority of the management of Mo's Meals is to manage all aspects
systematically in its business environment. Currently the top-management of the
company is too effective, because it divided their major tasks into two parts. It also
setted two directors (Managing and Finance) for perfectly supervise both parts of major
tasks. Here is another major responsibility of the management is to build effective and
good relationship with the customers (Kifle, 2019). The main reason behind the last
statement is, currently here is large competition in the market. In this case it highly
needs to make effective relations with all stakeholders in the market. Currently the Mo's
Meals improved 8 employees to 20 employees within business environment which is
good, but there are also many opportunities for this to more expand their business
operations in the market. Here is orders of the customers are firstly taken by the admin
section and then that spread in all divisions of the company, like; production and
accounts. This process is also good but not much effective, because when admin sends
these order forms to different divisions, then this process become very time-consuming.

start the use of personal website or online control panel.

the finance which is good thing. This step of the company is reducing many errors and
complexity within business environment, because all are responsible for their respective
task. So, this systematic environment for the business functions is helping to the Mo's
Meals in rise their profit year by year. With the support of this system the company was

system is contributing in sustainable performance of the company.

which is supervising the all activities related to the admin, delivery and logistics (Hage,
2018). After the production and packing task of the managing director here is the next
task for the finance director. It is putting their high efforts in manage the counter of
admin. It is not easy task to handle all orders of the customers by transfer them in
different sections like production and accounts on time. Here the finance director
manage these order of the customers systematically. In the company when production
section prepared the meal then the finance director is responsible to choose suitable
way to deliver that meal to customer. There are 8 employees are comes under the
finance manager's command. Here is this director is completely focuses on deliver
company's meal to the customary in safe manner without decreasing quality of the
meal. So, this system is giving effective contribution in sustainable performance of the

the current time. The admin is responsible to take orders from the customers by phone
and email. Then it is also responsible for covert those orders into triplicate forms for
transfer them to the production and accounts sections (El-Majali, 2016). Admin stays
one order form always on own counter. The admin stay touch with all divisions of the
company for be up-to-date about production process. It is also work as a mediator in the
company, because it sends one department's message to the other department. So,
here is the admin system is completely managed by the managing director of the Mo's
Meals. There are various functions of the admin system are also helpful for the
company to improve its performance.

the new order meal on time. The production department also work on the basis of
deadline of order. It is also identifying needed raw-material is available or not for fulfil
