Business Studies HSC HSC Practice Question 1c – Operations inputs

Q1c Business Studies Operations inputs Module 1 - Outcome 3

BrightBite is a small business that produces personalised, ready-to-eat lunch boxes for corporate offices. Each morning, customers submit orders through an online form by 8:30 am, selecting dietary requirements (e.g. gluten-free, halal), portion size, and a preferred delivery time window. BrightBite receives deliveries of ingredients from two suppliers and stores them in a refrigerated prep area. A kitchen team prepares the lunch boxes, prints a label for each order, and packs them into insulated crates for a courier service to collect at 11:00 am. Recently, BrightBite has experienced a rise in incorrect orders being delivered and an increase in food waste from unused ingredients.

Question 1c

9 marks

BrightBite’s operations manager is considering two changes:

  • Change 1: Add a second label-check step where one staff member reads the order on-screen while another confirms the printed label before packing.
  • Change 2: Invest in an additional refrigerated storage unit to hold a wider range of ingredients.

For EACH change, analyse whether it mainly improves the management of transformed resources or transforming resources, and explain how it could affect the operations outcomes of quality and waste.
