D1Assess the importance of having procedures for using office equipment and systems when providing business and administration support
A procedure is the manual leaflet of a user used when purchasing a new machine or goods. To recognize what the good is being used for, specify what to do with it, discuss the alternative, demonstration safety procedures including warning and caution. ‘Receiving procedures to help everyone to know the job requirement without using a ‘ memorization ‘ formula is really vital for finance and administration assistance, as main points are very well demonstrated in written rules and procedures. Rules and regulations make the workforce fully comprehend the duties of individuals and teams while at the same time-saving time and resources. Employees on the same segment will easily get the word “accepted” about how to handle their work.
There are an advantages and disadvantages of having procedure.
In first, the advantages are also the strength of the procedure. Having the procedure is to save time and resources so the supervisor does not have to monitor the employees. The procedure lists the explanation as to how what but that you have to take some action. Working faster and safer by allowing the production managers to exercise control by using the equipment or systems more productively.Making it easier to read to easily adopt a clear and direct response to list all the procedure. You will get more detailed information about the safety reasons for the equipment or systems and the approach to reducing ‘ different techniques. ‘
The disadvantages are the weakness of having the procedure. When there is no other electricity supply, the equipment or systems will not be powered on and can not be used in an emergency situation. Both the equipment and systems will be damaged even after a long period of use. So we really may also need a skilled professional technician as we recently purchased the equipment from the shop to help us install the system and, of course, to operate it then.
