Ocean Paradise Problem identification in operation areas

Ocean Paradise Hotel & Resort is a service oriented company and they are providing high
quality service to their customer. According to the Mahabub Alom, Ocean Paradise has been
providing quality full customer service than other hotels. Although their position is much more
batter in the hotel market but due to the impact globalization customer demand has increased and
lot’s of foreign hotel has joined in the hotel market. So Mahabub Alom said that if they would
not improve their customer service and follow market trend then they would not keep up their
yearly sales, brand, market share and growth. However Mahabub Alom also said that Ocean
Paradise has not enough employee recognition system, job security and training. For this reason
lot’s of staff’s has resigned from their job. Another problem is Ocean Paradise supply chain level
is not so good, for this reason they could not handle their inventory. Base on this situation it can
say that Ocean Paradise has needed to improve their operation area as soon as possible.

Three problem areas isolation from above discussion

Improve Customer service: Ocean Paradise main profit comes from their customer
service, but they would not providing current market trend service. Due to lack of their low
customer service they could not satisfy their customer and customer has to forward another hotel.
Now most of the customer wants to better facility behind their expense. Ocean Paradise would
not providing high quality food restaurant bar, minor operating department, food –bequest &
conferencing, beverage restaurant & bar, beverage, bequest & conferencing, other restaurant &
bequest, security & privacy and customer feedback. If Ocean Paradise would not improve their
customer service then day by day they lose their customer. So it can say that as soon as possible
Ocean Paradise need not improve this area.

Staff’s job Leave: Staff’s job satisfaction has depended on their job facility. Ocean Paradise
would not provide staff’s recognition, job security and job training. For this reason most of the
staff’s has to leave from their job. Due to lack of their recognition system employee would not
motivated in their work place. On the other hand employees would not do well in their job,
because they have no job security. However Ocean Paradise employee’s has not enough
knowledge to deal with a client due to lack of staff’s job training. Ocean Paradise has needed to

4
provide this facility to keep up their staff’s. So it can say that Ocean Paradise should be
improved this area as soon as possible.

Inventory management: Ocean Paradise has not enough inventory management. For this
reason they would not provide quick service to their customer. Ocean Paradise inventory
management depends on their supply chain management. So Ocean Paradise has needed to
improve their supply chain like- alternative raw material supplier, effective procurement and
logistics. By improving supply chain area Ocean Paradise can improve their inventory
management. When Ocean Paradise would set up their inventory then they could provide quick
service to their customer. So it can say that Ocean Paradise should improve their inventory
management as soon as possible.

Project selection from the three changes:

Project selection is a way to select a project base on project priority like- which project is more
beneficial than other project. Project selection method helps to guide an organization decision
and weight then against alternative project and the manager will inevitably have to make
decisions regarding which project to implement. Manager should need to careful analyze all of
these contributing factors like- the goal of the organization, customer requirement, timeframes,
budget, urgency, scheduling etc (Onedesk.com, 2015). However Ocean Paradise can choose
improving customer service project, because this project is more effective and beneficial. Ocean
Paradise will get more output by improving this area.

Why customer’s are not satisfy about service

Now most of the customers want to best service in reasonable price but Robi would not provide
this facility. On the other hand Robi competitor has provided update technological service for
customer satisfaction. Robi present technological service is not enough good for customer and
most of the customer’s have to forward another Telecom. Robi Optical Transport is backdated as
like as low quality optical service and Robi has not maintained international standard quality
technical equipment. Rabi has not enough good client service center, where a customer can get
quick service. When customer’s has to use telecom service then they expected standard quality
service behind their expanses. If customers would not get these types of satisfactory service from
Robi then next time customers would not use Robi product. Robi would try to improve this
facility just in time then it will tough for them but one way has to improve this problem like-
business process re-engineering/ Radical changes. This Radical change helps to improve over all
service in specific time. However, by using radical change Robi can redesign the overall
Technological advancement likes- IP Edge, IP Broadband Network, Microwave Network and
Optical Transport. When Robi customer will get this type of service from Robi then they will not
use another telecom service.

Why customers are forward for another hotel

Now a day’s people are searching and comparing every product or service and choose best one.
At present most of the customer has to forward another hotel due to lack of Ocean Paradise

10
service, because most of the hotel has to improve their customer service and add different types
of facility for customer satisfaction. Now Ocean Paradise competitors has provided quality full
rooms, extra service without extra cost, quality full conference center, security & privacy, no
noise etc. However by establishing this facility Ocean Paradise can keep up their existing
customer and attract potential customer. To develop this facility Ocean Paradise can rethinking
or redesigns their present service. This redesign method will help to develop a new plan and
facility to improve customer service like- core competitive conference center, update technology
privacy and security service, noise dividend machine, new food menu maintaining cultural
environment. When Ocean Paradise customer has to get this facility then customers will be
satisfy and in future they will no forward form Ocean Paradise.

Why Ocean Paradise cannot provide quick service

Ocean Paradise has not provided quick service to their customer. For this reason customer would
not like to stay in Ocean Paradise. Most of the customer has satisfied and motivated to stay in a
hotel base on service speediness. When Ocean Paradise would develop speed full service to their
customer then customer would not forward another hotel. To improve service speed, Ocean
Paradise has needed to develop staff’s motivation reword base on their daily work, develop
staff’s job training so that staff’s can normally handle customer needs, to develop customer
feedback center so that customer can share their positive and negative opinion and base on
customer feedback Ocean Paradise has to provide solid information so that every supplier can
provide actual material just in time, set up update technology like- update customer room service
telephone, update Wi-Fi service, update security material, online hotel booking etc. To develop
this facility Ocean Paradise can use continuous methods. By using continuous improvement
Ocean Paradise can take customer feedback and which helps to take appropriate decision to
change all service. This continuous improvement method would develop just in time changes and
develop speed full service for existing and potential customer.

Radical Changes Vs Continuous Improvement process

11
Business process re-engineering was first introduce late Michael Hammer’s in 1990 Harvard
business article (SearchCIO, 2015). In 1993 Hmmer & Champy explain that BPR/ radical
changes is the fundamental and redesign of business process to achieve dramatic improvement in
critical, contemporary of performance as like as cost, quality and speed (Slack,
Chambers,Johnston, 2010, p.544). However this process is a cross-functional consistent
sequence of activity that convert business inputs into business outputs like- supplier is input-
process is activity and customer is output. However a group of reasonably related that uses the
organization resources to provide customer oriented result in support of the organization
objectives (SearchCIO, 2015), and use technology to improve data dissemination and decision
making (Bain.com, 2015).

Benefits of the Radical changes

When and organization use BPR then customer satisfaction should improve and this process are
re-designed and employee’s deliver a high quality service the customer seek benefit. However
this process is due to reduction in time and cost associated with BPR as those processes that add
no value would have been eliminated (Robinson, 2015). Due to the way of BPR employee’s
sense of responsibility and accountability has been increased. On the other hand employee’s also
has to drive to deliver high quality service to its customer and at the same time important task are
performed at the highest standard (Robinson, 2015). However in 1993, as many as of Fortune
500 companies claimed that re-engineering had led directly to 22% growth in revenues by
rethinking that the customer is and by focusing on enhance activity that value to the customer
(Beyond Philosophy, 2009). By developing BPR earlier 1990’2 Taco Bell has gone from being
$500 million Company 1982 to a $3 billion (Entrepreneurial-insights.com, 2015). In 1991
Hallmark Company reduces 90% service waiting time within 8months (Entrepreneurial-
insights.com, 2015).

Disadvantages of Radical changes:

12
BPR no clear willingness to put existing process onto the chopping block and there is no change
of success and it is one time cutting exercise, whether cost reduction are often a handy by
product of the activity but not primary concern. However there is no success in gaining dedicated
long term community from management and the employees (Kfknowledgebank.kaplan.co.uk,
2015).

Continuous improvement/ Kaizen

Continuous improvement is a method for identifying opportunity for streamlining work and
reduces waste and that is focused on increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of an
organization to fulfill its policy and objectives (The Chartered Quality Institute, 2015). However
Kaizen is also known as continuous improvement. It is a long term approach to work that
systematically seeks to achieve small, incremental changes in process in order to improve
efficiency and quality. Kaizen can be applied to any kind of work but it is perhaps best known
for being use in lean manufacturing and lean programming for example- Toyota production
system (SearchManufacturingERP, 2015). It is not limited to quality initiative and implements
strategy, business consequence, customer, employees and supplier relationships can be subject to
continuous improvement (The Chartered Quality Institute, 2015). .

Benefits of Continuous improvement

Continuous improvement identifying exactly where area of business is going wrong and change
the process so that mistake do not occur and reduce waste of resources
(Businesscasestudies.co.uk, 2015). Less waste has to develop because inventory has user more
efficiently. Employee has to work as like a team, so employee has well in their job and employee
would like to stay in their job. Organization has to get competitive advantages due to lower
production cost and high quality service. On the other hand customer has satisfied to get quality
full product or service. However continuous improvement looking at process from a solution
perspective allows employees to solve problem continuously (Mindtools.com, 2015).

Disadvantages of continuous improvement


13
Most of the time training employees work on the continuous improvement that’s why it takes
time and money. On the other hand top to the time that’s already spent training new employees
perform their main job function. However continuous improvement can make seeking to
improve run the risk of the changing part of any business that are actually working well. All
negative feedback not only from employees and also customer is going to be accurate and truly
what best for the company (Pietroluongo, 2015).

Reason behind to choose Radical changes and continuous improvement and


methods implementation to improve Ocean Paradise customer services:

Robi can practice continuous improvement to indentifying current service, procedure and work
flow or project. Continuous improvement is a great way to identify Robi opportunity and
integrate improvement of day to day working position. However continuous improvement helps
to develop Robi culture, develop effective solution, to find out different opportunity most
unexpected places and creating formal environment that nurtures innovation and fosters a sense
of ownership and pride among individuals. By using continuous improvement Robi can be drive
their economy through improve customer satisfaction and higher profit. Continuous
improvement out to give Robi indication it’s time to get to work and need to improve customer
services so that Robi can get more revenue in a short time.

When Robi has to use BPR then creative technology would be applied and this entails the use of
technology in innovative ways helps the Robi achieve its goal. However it also can improve the
efficiency and enable reform the Robi process. It is important, when Robi undertaken BPR to
also incorporate change management into the overall picture and at the same time as BPR will
speak to the activity or process, change management will ensure that the customer involve are
also be able to adapt to new Robi customer service. However Robi naturally to fear the unknown
and to doubt if change will reap and any benefits. Finally Robi must be aware of this occupy
change management to reduce any conflict. Robi successfully implements BPR it will see a
transformation in many areas such as-cost and time, increase efficiency and effectiveness which
leads to overall customer satisfaction service.

Improvement Customer Service Project Risk Management

Risk management is the process which involved with identifying, analyzing and responding to
risk and it includes maximizing the result of positive risk and minimizing the consequence of
negative events (Pm4id.org, 2015). The innovative process includes brainstorming sessions
where the project team member ask to create a list of everything that could go for wrong and all
the idea are welcome at this stage with the evaluation of the ideas coming later. However all time
manager would not face negative impact risk as there are also positive impact risk too. After time
being risk has been identified then project manager should need to come up with a mitigation
plan any other situation to counter attack the risk (Tutorialspoint.com, 2015).

Project Risk identification:

Ocean Paradise manager could face many difficulties when it comes to identifying and naming
the risk that occur when undertaking customer service improvement project. The importance
thing of the project is to understand that risk pertaining to the project can only be controlled by
the project manager and other stakeholder. Customer service improvement project risks will be
controlled by relevant teams. The risks that often impact a project are sponsor risk, supplier risk,
resources risk, budget risk, timescale risk, technological risk. Customer service improvement
project can be failed due to lack of sponsor commitment, ownership, and political support for
example- Ocean Paradise management would not provide proper support. Supplier risk would
refer to risk that can occur in case the supplier is not meeting the timeline to supply the resources
and resource risk occurs when the human resource used in the project is not enough or not
skilled enough and project also can be failed due to lack of operation, resources and time
schedule. However customer service improvement project budget risk would refer to risks that
can occur if the cost more than what was budgeted. Project can be failed due to lack of use
wrong tools and immature technology for example- if manager should use old technology in this
project then may be project will be failed (Pm4id.org, 2015).

20
Project Risk evaluation:

Risk evaluation building on the identification of the each risk and it is analyzed to determine the
probability of occurring and the potential cost if it did occur. The probability and outcome are
both rated as high, medium and low. Base on probability and outcome risk migration plan has to
address that is depended high rating both factor (Pm4id.org, 2015).

Risk response or Migration:

Risk avoidance: Ocean Paradise project manager can use proven or existing technologies rather
than new techniques and even though new techniques may be show promise of better
performance or lower cost. In this time Ocean Paradise manager can avoid this risk (Pm4id.org,
2015).

Risk sharing: Project manager can sharing his/her risk due to impact of political, legal and labor.
For this reason manager could do joint venture project with local company or political party
(Pm4id.org, 2015).

Risk reduction: Base on risk probability and impact project manager can reduce project risk. For
this reason manger should take some action to reduction risk (Pm4id.org, 2015)

Risk acceptance: Every risk impact is not same for the project. Some time manager can accept
those risks and take some action for behind the risk (Pm4id.org, 2015).

Risk transfer: Project manager can transfer project risk to the third party like- risk would be
transfer to the insurance company (Pm4id.org, 2015).

Managing and controlling risk:

Ocean Paradise customer service improvement project must be controlled by the project
manager. Project manager should be predicting reviews and event’s scheduled into the
mainstream project plan to address risk and manager reviews must be managed with enormous
discipline. Manager would not take any analysis session and manager should review the status of
risk mitigation strategies and assign actions as appropriate (Pm4id.org, 2015).
