...Section 1 Current Situation: Self-introduction: My name is Kevin as an oversea bachelor student, I have studied in University of New South Wales for 4 years. My mother is a staff of Agricultural Bank of China and she is divorced which means that she spent almost all her life’s deposit to send me here for study. She is a great mum and I love her so much.

...for incident operations was often overlooked or not given enough emphasis. This resulted in poor use of resource, inappropriate strategies and tactics, safety problems, higher incident costs, and lower effectiveness. Planning involves evaluating the situation, developing incident objectives, selecting a strategy, and deciding which resources should be used to achieve the objectives in the safest, most efficient and cost-effective manner. The primary phases of the planning process are essentially the same for the Incident Commander who develops the initial plan. For the Incident Commander and Operations Section Chief revising the initial plan for extended operations, and for the incident management team developing a formal IAP, each following a similar process. During the initial stages of incident management , planners must develop a simple plan that can be communicated through concise verbal briefings. Frequently, this plan must be developed very quickly and with incomplete situation information. As the incident management effort evolves over time, additional lead time, staff, information system, and technologies enable more detailed planning and cataloging of events and lesson learned. In my opinion the planning process is the most helpful in the Subdivisions of the ICS chart. During any incident it is important to always have something planned before anything ever happens that way you are always prepared to react. You must give yourself time to analyze every situation and...

In a business environment we use operational plans to ensure that targets are met within given timeframes and to satisfactory quality standard. There are three types of plan used at different levels within an organisation: * Strategic plan * Business plan * Operational plan The strategic plan is developed for long-term planning and covers a period of about five years. The strategic plan specifies the missions and goals of the organisation including decisions on how resources, both capital and human, will be allocated to meet organisational goals. A business plan sits between the highest-level plan (the strategic plan) and the operational plan. A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals and objectives that are to be achieved to meet the strategic objectives of the organisation. The...

Collecting and analysing information: The next step is to gather adequate information and data relating to the planning to be made. The facts and figures collected will help in framing realistic plans. Further, the information gathered has to be analysed for proper interpretation. 3. Establishment of clear-cut objectives: After collecting and analysing information, the management should lay down in clear-cut terms, the objectives of the enterprise as a whole as well as objectives of every section of the enterprise. 4. Determining planning premises and constraints: Planning is always based on certain assumptions regarding the future which are known as planning premises. Thus it is a forecast of conditions like trends in population, political and economic environment, production costs, advertisement policy, availability of labour, material, power, etc. Further there will be constraints like Government control which affect the plans.

...Even after investing over 10 lakhs in an MBA degree from one of highly advertised business school, Rajesh is still looking for an entry level job which can fetch him atleast 20-25,000 rupees per month so that he can start repayment of the loan his farmer father had taken from village landlord to finance his MBA. Rajesh completed his engineering from a private engineering college with a hope that he will be able to get a regular job which will minimize the uncertainty attached with the earnings from agriculture. He has seen his father losing sleep every year, when the rain gods played mischief. He has felt the anxiety at home till the time the payment for each crop was realised and all the small borrowings taken during the season for the crop were repaid. His father tried to fulfil all his financial needs so that he can be what he wants to be. Rajesh studied hard during his engineering course but he could not get any job during campus placements. After futile job search for over one year, few friends advised Rajesh to get an MBA degree. They said that MBA is a sure shot way to get a highly paid and high ranked job in a large MNC. He was lured by big advertisements of business schools which promised the students an ultra-modern campus and dream jobs. But even after attending over 25-30 job interviews, the best job he was offered was of sales executive with a “CTC” of rupees 2.5 lakh per annum but having fixed salary component of less than 10,000 rupees a month.

One has to plan for an event way ahead of the event date to accommodate for any mishaps and unexpected issues. Planning for an event will entail the delegation of work amongst those involved in the project, now in regards to launching a new product delegation of tasks and activities will have to be a build up to main event.

From customers to sales and marketing to developing, the sales and operations planning is designed to set up all the plans for every aspect of the business. The process in done is phases and tasks must be done before everyone can come together at the first meeting. Meetings must be set up well in advanced to allow everyone involved adequate time to prepare their part of the meeting. The process has been becoming more prevalent with businesses as they see the importance of this step. It is important early on that everyone knows their role. In the mid-1980s, Oliver Wright developed the sales and operations planning process. “He essentially recommended to his manufacturing clients that they get Sales plans from their Sales organizations to use as a basis for production planning” (Lapide, 2014). The tasks that must be done before the first meeting are simple. The people who should be part of the process need to know in order for them to prepare for the first meeting. The dates need to be set for first yearly meetings to allow for adequate preparations. If the company is going to use technology, the software must be tested to make sure the accuracy is correct...
