A1: An evaluation of the effectiveness of the techniques used

by the business to plan production and

product development

Cadbury plan their production process by using a time series method as

this helps Cadbury to accurately produce the needed amount of

chocolate at the correct period of time. A time series shows

historical data that can be used and analysed to predict future

trends. Christmas and Easter are peak selling times for all chocolate

manufactures including Cadbury, this is obviously because chocolate

products make good gifts for these occasions.

The disadvantages of this type of forecast are:

- Cadbury need to have a lot of past data in order for the time series

method to be used accurately to predict sales figures.

- If the external environment doesn’t stay stable then there will be

problems with the forecast for example if the prices of the raw

materials used to produce Cadbury products increases then the price of

the product has to increase in order for Cadbury to make a profit from

the product produced. This may affect the customers purchasing trends.

- The data may be biased or representative.

The advantages of this type of forecast are:

- The data helps Cadbury to reduce wastage and produce the amount of

products that customers would purchase.

- The data is reliable if collected properly/accurately.

- The forecast helps Cadbury to make products efficiently as it helps

Cadbury to set a target of the amount of products needed; there are

always enough products to supply to customers.

However precise information about this is not available to the public.

Therefore I am going to use the information that I have produced about

an imaginary firm I have used in E4 of my assignment.

The most profitable product that the imaginary firm produces is the

mugs, making a profit of £10,500 for the first quarter of the year. I

think that this is excellent as this firm is selling the mugs well and

making a reasonable amount of profits from them, the mugs are batch

produced and are everyday household objects.

- The firm does some research and find out what types of designs the

customers are interested in purchasing. This would help to increase

the sales, as customers like to have mugs with designs that they like

and match with the rest of their kitchen accessories/items.

  • Monseigneur's Chocolate Quals

    522 Words  | 2 Pages

    Dickens uses verbal irony in his description of the Monseigneur’s chocolate ritual by showing that he must have four men prepare his hot chocolate. If only three men to prepare his hot chocolate it is difficult for him to swallow it. “Yes. It took four men, all four a-blaze with gorgeous decoration”(108). This quote shows how Monseigneur needs specifically four men because each man has one job it has to do like give Monseigneur a napkin, “presented the favoured napkin”(108). “Monseigneur could swallow many things with ease, and was by some few sullen minds supposed to rather be rapidly swallowing France” (108). Dickens uses irony to show the ridiculous situation of the ritual to how France is being destroyed. He uses this to show the contrast as a lord to a servant.

    Market research and information about the industry is very important to the organization because it will allow the organization to position itself well in terms of sourcing chocolate raw materials and in identifying the market for its products. For example, understanding that some chocolate product purchases are seasonal, e.g., at Christmas; around Mother’s Day; and, on Valentine’s Day, allows the organization to have more product on hand and to create displays, in store, that will increase purchases and attract more customers when existing customers tell their friends about the availability of high end products, at reasonable prices, in their store.

    Chocolate made the journey from Mesoamerica to Spain, and then to other European countries, including England. Not long after the sweetness was tasted in London, it traveled across the Atlantic to the North American colonies. It is possible to have traveled there directly from Jamaica after the island had been seized from Spain. However, the most genuine explanation is that high Colonial officials carried it with them when they were assigned to their administrative posts in Virginia and Massachusetts.

    Costco is one of the good companies in the USA. The company has quality products that function in four different department's food, health care, employee discount cost, and some types of delivery services. The company actually sells fewer kinds of products than Wal-Mart, Giant and others, however, this means that they can keep their costs down this way. They are also able to keep costs down by charging customers a yearly fee, which allows Costco to have more brand loyalty because of this. So, Costco is a good option because it has provided better services for many years.

  • The Importance Of Sales Promises

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    To avoid customer dissatisfaction companies must learn to manage their customers’ expectations by painting a true picture of the scenario and future deliverables. Companies should factor in all customizations and special circumstances when making their service promises. Companies should avoid the trap of over-promising or promoting themselves as something they are not. In the current competitive market, although it is extremely tempting to pad ones achievements, a customer that makes realistic promises and delivers on them is more likely to retain its customers than one that makes big promises but is unable to deliver. It is never about just closing the sale. Closing a sale has no meaning when the follow up to this is an unhappy customer or a cancelled
