Business Report

Project Description: Business report required for the following: The company CMP Pty. Ltd. was founded in 1963 in Perth, Western Australia by Adam Williams, a former farmer. From humble beginnings as a milk processor for the local dairy farmers, the company has grown into a multi-million dollar mixed-product firm with a strong penetration in the Australian market, and a developing export business. Not only is a large range of milk produced now (whole milk, reduced fat, skinny, flavoured etc.), but also butter, cheese, yoghurt, and dried milk. Every morning, a fleet of spotless stainless steel CMP tankers leaves the factory to collect the whole milk from selected farms in the area. When the tankers return, the thousands of litres of milk is pasteurised and homogenised, after which the milk is either packaged or undergoes further processing to become skinny milk, butter, cheese, etc. A second fleet of refrigerated trucks then delivers the product to major distributors around Australia. The factory office workers keep details on farmers, product manufacture, and distributors. The sales team keep records of sales data (refer section on Sales Data). Recently a new general manager, Penny Kane, took over the reins from Adam Williams who retired. 1) The business report and summary MUST include: - An executive summary - A table of contents - Introduction. 2) Body of report must include: - Part A: responses to questions with in-text references. - Part B: a process model that represents the main processes at CMP, including assumptions. - Part C: two graphs created in Microsoft Excel that show the last two year’s net profits, with short descriptions for each. - Conclusions. - Reference list, using Harvard style. - Appendix (if needed).
