You are required to identify and analyse two different inefficiencies, limitations or problems and then plan to improve them. You must be able to justify, communicate and review your proposed improvement solutions. This project must be based on a proposed or existing practice related to a product or service. You can use the case study business provided to you by your assessor, or you may like to base this on your own business, or a business you are currently working for or are familiar with. It is important that this business has organisational policies and procedures related to your chosen practice already developed. Speak to your assessor to get approval if you want to base this on your own business or one you work for. You will also need to seek input from people who work for, or are involved, in this business practice several times. Fellow students or your assessor can be involved in these meetings and play the roles of process stakeholders as relevant. You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you need to take are outlined below. 1. Project planning Make sure you are familiar with the business you are basing this assessment on.

Read through the requirements of Section 1, 2 and 3 of your Project Portfolio as well as the necessary background information, relevant policies and procedures of the business (use the Simulation Pack if working with the case study). Once you are comfortable with what you need to do, arrange a meeting by sending an email invitation with at least one of the stakeholders who can provide information about your chosen process, or help identify inefficiencies, limitations or problems. They may also be able to suggest alternative solutions. For the purpose of this role-play, your assessor or another student can act as a one or more stakeholders. 2.
