Work must be conveyed out consistently with the appropriate controls, standards and, codes of conducts, involving the ADG Code. Work is under general direction on progress and results of work. It requires inducement and, judgment for individuals and others in arranging, utilizing assets, administrations and, forms to accomplish the required results within the working environment strategy and, methodology (Cruijssen 2007). A range of opportunities may be utilized to create the working range and to support the improvement of work frameworks, imaginative methodologies to bargain with contingencies and to support the accomplishment of the work environment's objectives, key execution targets by the working range and, the individual and, groups within it.
Development plans to introduce the new procedure
Identification and the assertion of the processes in need of development or improvement with the appropriate staff and the business departments.
Discussions on the scope and the degree of the procedures and confirmation with the affected staff.
The relevant variables likely to affect the development procedure are acknowledged are identified, and the adopted procedures are incorporated into them.
Extensive and research is conducted with the relevant personnel and resources.
The operational procedures are then documented and verified with the required internal and external authorities and bodies held with the sole responsibility in accordance with the workplace procedures.
The monitoring of the implementation of the developed operational procedure is done through the provision of effective induction and supervision to support the staff in implementing them. The implementation process also requires that all the procedures are understood and are in compliance with the regulatory bodies and standards of procedure for legitimacy purposes (Ballou 2007). Effective supervision and induction to implement the new procedure are done to ensure that all the staff fully understands their roles and responsibilities and the scope of their career discretion and authority. It also aids in identifying the best training and the development needs of the staff so as to ensure that their skills can be used effectively in the organization for maximum profitability and reward. The supervision also necessitates the ethical standards are maintained within the organization and are in agreement with the set laws and bylaws.
In order to enhance our reputation for the successful usage of operations methodology, the following principles must be taken into account. The given methodologies are then divided into two sets of inquiries to make it simpler and relevant to the staff at large;
Set a (reacting to the general inquiry):
Never quit posing the question.
Have 'double association' ability
Make a deficiency tolerant environment in which to figure out how to enhance the reputation in adequately executing operations methodology.
Set B (reacting to every particular key activity):
Set up an arrangement of activity or task arrangement.
Surface the 'power for viable execution' as an element of
The clarity as to what you need to accomplish, in result terms
The certainty in knowing how to accomplish this new result, or possibly having a 'working speculation's about how to accomplish it.
The conviction as to why it is important to accomplish this new result. Moreover, utilize this "power" to judge the 'final turning point' or 'purpose of duty' (POC) for the specific activity.
6. Utilize the 'power for viable execution' to evoke fitting conduct from partners who;
Have the ability to attack the intervention (negative force can be individual), or
Whose strong conduct is very liable to decide the extent to which the result is accomplished and maintained (positive force is aggregate) 7. Take the 'main little strides.'
8. Lead like a tireless yet intelligent bulldozer driver.
The staff, therefore, has to undergo specific training procedure so as to have the knowledge or made aware to adhere to the set standards of the business firm. The Management group will direct exhaustive inductions for all new staff so that they have a comprehension of their parts and obligations, operational strategies, health and security procedures and hostility to oppressive practice.
New workers will be helped to settle into their new work by acquainting them with:
The employment, the workplace and operational methods.

The staff handbook.
Their states of the employment.
The virtue of confidentiality agreement.
A team leader, who will be selected to each new member of staff and provide the required backing and useful criticism and guidance.
The evaluation process requires that an appraisal of the adequacy of the operational procedure is undertaken against the created performance indicators. Where needed, the operational procedures are improved in agreement with assessment standards. The relevant Staff is kept informed of the assessment process also, exhorted of the ensuing changes to operational procedures. Records, reports and the relevant suggestions for change are handled adequately and with a lot of maturity without prejudice within the working environment, data frameworks and forms.
The members of staff need to have the knowledge in:
Significant OH&S and ecological protection methods and regulations.
Workplace systems for the improvement and support of operational strategies for transport and logistics ventures.
Difficulties that may arise amid the improvement and support of operational strategies for transport and logistics endeavors and the appropriate move that can be made to resolve or report the issues.

Ability to read and interpret the transport and logistics inventories, regulatory requirement, customer specification, workplace procedures and manual and the time schedules.
Ability to complete the documentation required in the field.

The business needs to develop innovative strategies and tactics to overcome the daily workplace issues that would encourage meeting the workplace goals. The goals of the business need to be well defined, and the workers and the organization itself should strive to meet the set goals and objectives within the set time limits. The goals should, therefore, be realistic in accordance with the prevailing business environment so that every individual involved in the provision of their services has clear cut knowledge of the short and long term goals. This can only be realized when the firms involve its workers consultative in the decision-making process. The formed strategies should be everyone's goal to meet. Strategy generally entails the direction and scope of the organization over the long term and short term which is aimed at achieving the advantage in a changing environment through its configuration of its resources with the sole reason of fulfilling the stakeholder's expectations. The strategy involves three levels;
Corporate level strategy. This is aimed at setting the long-term direction and scope of the whole business. It gives the directions in setting the individual goals and objectives of the single business units of the organization.
Business level strategy. This is concerned primarily with how a specific business unit should compete within its industry, and it has its specific aims and objectives even though all this is incorporated in the entire business goals and objectives. This is also captured in the mission and vision of the entire firm.
Functional level strategy. This level comprises of the individual functions, strategies such as finance of human resource. The strategies developed are concerned with how the individual functions contribute to the entire business strategy and their strategic objectives and goals.
The business strategy should be effective enough to enable the business to have excellent operations in cost, quality, speed, dependability, and flexibility. The effectiveness in the cost ensures that the business can compete effectively in low pricing, but at the same time making reasonable if not abnormal profits (Kovács & Spens, 2007). This makes the goods offered to the consumers affordable and of quality at the same time. The effectiveness in the speed of production and transport ensures that there is a fast and efficient delivery of goods to the market when needed. It also facilitates customer loyalty in the consumer good. All in all, it makes the firm, reliable in delivery and production.
The flexibility nature of the business would allow frequent new services and a wide range of services and products. This also takes into account the peak and off-peak seasoning in the production. This makes it an easy method or procedure to change the volume of production depending on the market demand for the services or goods. In the developing of strategies to overcome the challenges to ensure maximum productivity, the firm needs to;
Conduct effective meetings. These meetings can be organized departmentally to address specific areas that need improvement or to appraise the workers to boost their morale. This can be done on the daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. This needs to be effective enough to warrant a meeting.
Improve in the communication strategy. The communication strategy should be effective enough to convey the message needed to all the relevant recipients without distortion or exaggeration. No information should be biased unless stated. The levels of communication should not be a hindrance to communicating issues that could help the business.
Delegate responsibilities. A delegation of responsibilities ensures that a particular individual has the responsibility for a specific work. The workers are thus not overburdened with duties hence some level of responsibility.
