with understanding, researching, developing, writing, refining and
producing all the other parts of this assignment. Structure and document
the plan in the form of a top-down flowchart.
2. Provide a brief overview of your work organisation (including its main 5

3. Identify three of your organisation’s processes or sub-processes (where possible, ones to which you contribute),and for each of the three: ? ? ? Name them (and if a sub-process, name the process to which they belong) Give a brief explanation of their purpose [2 or 3 sentences for each at most] Make considered observations about how successfully each is currently operating (eg note any problems, weaknesses, errors or irritations that are commonly being experienced by internal and/ or external customer) [2 or 3 sentences for each at most]

4. Create a written procedure for any one of the three processes or sub- process identified in part 3 of this assignment (as it is really performed, rather than as you or your organisation think it ought to be performed). The information should be of an adequate level for the people who perform the tasks to follow (ie don’t produce just a higher level management overview). The format, set-out and structure of your written procedure should be the same as is shown in the two Humanities International Office example generic written procedures issued with this assignment. But, in addition, at the start of your procedure add a concise explanation of why the process or sub-process is important and give a short explanation of its purpose. (As a guide, I am looking for processes or sub-processes that comprise about 5 to 7 steps, with each step including a number of separate tasks, ie similar in size to the larger of the two Humanities International Office written procedures that are handed out with this assignment.)

If you are currently working full-time (or part-time) in your discipline area, this assignment is intended to relate to your current work organisation. If you are a full-time student, you can base your assignment on the last organisation for which you worked in your discipline area, or, alternatively, you can use an organisation for which you might currently do part-time work, including sporting clubs or voluntary groups.

Assignment Layout
The first page of your assignment must be a contents page – page numbers must be included for all entries. Use the following throughout your assignment (though you can vary the margins, font and size and line spacing where appropriate for information included in appendices): ? 2.5cm margins on all four sides ? Calibri font – size 11 ? Line spacing of 1.5 lines ? Number all pages in the footer on the right ? Include your name and student number in the footer on the left ? Differentiate headings by using bold font – do not use underline In essence, the body of your assignment should only comprise four parts, each with appropriate headings that relate to the assignment details. But, I want you to include your top-down flowchart and the written procedure as separate documents in appendices – they are stand-alone documents, so it doesn’t suit to have them in the main body of your assignment (this is why it is okay to vary the margins, font and line spacing in these documents). So in the main body of your assignment for sections 1 and 4, I would anticipate seeing the heading and a note under it directing me to the appropriate appendix that contains your work.
