logistic limited firm can use different tools and techniques which are useful for managing the
progress effectively and help in analyzing the flaws and make changes to overcome problem.

This also help the company to manage and control the event or the progress of the organization
in the well define way. The information is based upon the project past performance and the
expected future performance which include different information which impact the business
effectively. For the organization like Logistic organization ltd is essential for the firm to use such
tools to determine the process and forecast the outcomes. although there is some advantage of
this as it helps in increasing the performance of the employees and aid in building trust
effectively for the firm. Apart from this, it minimizes the risk and uncertainty present in the
market also provide clear indication to act first to reduce the chaos as well as conflict present in

the performance which is bases upon the performance and also help in increasing the sales and
effective outcomes for the company. The time series is considered as most accurate and it help

are associated with the future event and are also less accurate, so this is vital for the firm to
manage and control all the vital aspect which falls under increasing the motivation of the
employees. In the case of Logistic organization ltd the manager has to use time series which is
beneficial for the firm to determine the past result and improve to increase the performance of
the employees. Hence this is also useful for identifying the performance and on the basis of
result the management can provide incentives and bonus to overcome the problems effectively.

Provide the reflective report on the basis of observation and experience
This has been analyzed by me to during working in the company that organization face
vital problems which are associated with the employee underperformance and it also help in
reducing the communication. Apart from this, it is also observed by me that organization was not
using proper channel while communication with the employees which leads in reducing the
performance of the company. beside this, I analyzed that company was unable to use proper
method to provide incentive and bonuses which reduces the motivation factor for the company.
There are different kind of method and techniques such as forecasting and other method should
be used to overcome the problems and hurdles in the well define manner (Duda, Susilo and
Newcombe, 2019). The risk with this bias in decision making is that the manager’s decision of

rating the employee on average performance based on his recent performance ignores the true
picture of the overall performance of the employee during the whole period. Another
organizational constraint on decision making related to the scenario mentioned is historical
precedents. The decisions made in the past affect the choices available today and the decisions
that are to be made today. Beside this has been also analyzed during the working of the company
that the management use were not providing the timely benefits and they were lack in providing
appraisal which in result reduce the motivation of the employees effectively.

essential for person to handle the challenges and bring out vital result. There are different kind of
personal and professional training present in the organization as this help firm to overcome the
problem and enhance the productivity of the firm effectively. Apart from this there are different
kinds of tools and techniques which are used in the organization as company have to use
forecasting method which help in accomplishing the goals in a respective manner. At last there
are some recommendation and suggestion are providing such as provide incentive and bonus to
