Task description & requirements
Preliminary preparation:
Select any company involved in the Transport and Logistics industry, preferably your own organisation or one you are familiar with upon which to base your answer. It can be the same organisation that you used for Assignment 2. As the nature of the information may be industry sensitive you can be assured of our care to maintain confidentiality.
Should you select the same organisation as for Assignment 2 you will still need to provide the organisational information in this assignment even though you have provided it previously. You must clearly identify the company, providing the full and real name of the organisation in your answer.
Provide a brief description of the company, the nature of the business and the approximate number of persons employed by the company. Include an organisational chart if available (please do not spend time reproducing the chart – a scanned copy or one from the website included as an Appendix is acceptable). This section should not be calculated in your word count as it provides the assessor with background information.
