Commentary: On the basis of above analysed scenario on which there are various changes has been made on the expenses and
demands in each plant (Garver, 2019). Thus, in accordance with such outcomes it can be said that, there must be consideration over
the outcomes of year 1 as it defines less cost. Therefore, if an idea defines the less costs on the data base which would be profitable for
the business in terms of securing the profits and gains in operational practices. However, it can be said that the business will be on a
favourable state as there will be higher earning and retention of adequate gains that would be effective for the long term business
operations.
Action Plan
As per analysing the action plan in year 1,2 and 3 on which it can be said that, 1st year of action plan is defining less fixed costs that
compared with others (Sweeney, Grant and Mangan, 2018). The fixed costs in the first year 540000 as compared to 2 and 3 year in
which the fixed costs has been determined as 560000 and 560000. Also, the variable costs in the first year is less than the other years.
In year 1, it is 1245222 which is lesser than 1349874 in year 2 and 1395252 year 3. It was observed from the action plan that in the
scenario for the year 1, operational costs is minimum when it is compared against the action plan for year 2 and 3. Lower operational
cost means that company manages its costs in the best efficient way which renders it higher net profit. All the expenses which are
incurred for carrying out day to day activities of a business, are termed as operational expenses. If a company can manage its
operational expenses, it could lead to achieve one of its objective which is being a cost effective organisation. Such cost effectiveness
in the operations increases the profitability of the business entity. The same can also be seen from the different action plans created for
the OZ bread in which action plan for 1st year is the most profitable as it has lower fixed, variable and operational cost.
Thus, the action plan which is required to be considered by OZ bread is year 1 w hich would be effective in bringing them
profitable returns (Tiwari, Wee and Daryanto, 2018). Therefore, on the basis of such outcomes it can be said that business must
consider the most profitable plan which is entitled with the less expenses.
