Slotting allowance

Introduction

            For many years, slotting allowance has been a contentious issue on whether it should be illegal or not. Slotting allowance is the payment made by the manufacture or else salesperson to the retailer, for an assurance of getting a space in the retailer store or otherwise warehouses. In reality, the fee varies depending on the manufacturer, product as well as marker conditions. The practice is widespread in supermarkets industry. With this regard, Wang (2) argue that, some companies regards slotting allowance to be unethical in the sense that, it creates barriers for smaller business to compete with larger companies for lack of cash to pay slotting allowance. On the other hand, some companies outline slotting allowance to be beneficial in that, it efficiently allocate a retail shelf space. With this and many more, this paper seeks to examine three points in peer viewed academic journals articles in support and against the use of slotting allowances.

In support of slotting allowance

            The major arguments in favor of slotting allowance are found  in the article slotting allowance and fees 2000 whereby Bloom, Gundlach and Cannon argue that, slotting allowance is considered a vital tool that improve distribution efficiency. With this regard, Gloom, et al (1) argue that, slotting allowance enables companies to effectively distribute their goods to various supermarkets or any other business set up. To guarantee its distribution, the company pays slotting fees to retailers’ shops. In this context, it becomes an efficient aspect for various companies to distribute their goods in different channels who in turn, sell their products to various groups of people visiting those distribution channels. In this regard, the article reviews how a business may grow tremendously due to distributing its good to various channels.

Secondly, slotting allowance efficiently allocate a retail shelf space in the most profitable and valuable way. Allocating shelf space both benefit the manufacturer or else wholesaler with retailer. It is a well-documented fact; the manufacturer becomes advantageous in being competitive in the market in that; goods become known in the large market. It with do doubt, every client in the distribution places becomes aware of the company existence along with goods they offer. With this in mind, the article outlines slotting allowance to be the most efficient way for marketing goods (Gloom, et al 1).

Thirdly, in the article slotting allowance and retail market power 2006 Wang argue that, slotting allowance enables goods to be accessible to customers that mostly visit retail stores. Slotting allowance ensures that goods are available at all time thus enabling retailers to extend their sales to the widest number of customers. As a result, it greatly attracts clients who in this case, may be the users of the goods. Therefore, slotting allowance enables goods to be accessible to all thus; been an advantage to people located in the retail store who a time may be required to walk in miles in search for products. In this context, it saves time for clients in addition, saves money that would otherwise be used in accessing goods. In conjunction with this, Wang argue that, making goods accessible to clients benefit retail shops to convert their first time customers to frequent shoppers and frequent shoppers to potential shoppers. This is because; making goods available in retail shops creates customer satisfaction since; customers easily access what they need (Wang 1).

Against use of slotting allowance

            In the article managing trade promotions within the context of market power 1999 Kasulis, Morgan, Griffith and Kenderdine, argue that, two main disadvantages of slotting allowance is that, slotting fees are unethical in that, they tend to create barriers for entry of smaller businesses who may not have cash flow to compete with other large companies. To some extend, it may lead to manufacturer’s goods penetrating to the market because of their capability for  paying the slotting fee without considering the quality nature of goods they are offering.  In this regard, Kasulis et al argue that, many smaller businesses are sidelined despite of the quality goods they may be offering. With this in mind, the article outline that slotting allowance limits smaller businesses to distribute their goods despite of its quality nature.

Secondly, to some extent, slotting allowance leads to abuse such in the case, of a manufacturer being required to pay a certain fee for a specific period that the products would be in shelves. As a result, many manufacturers end up enquiring losses paying the fee without guarantee of their products been sold. It becomes more frustrating when the product is new in the market in that, it may not be so much demanded compared to products that may have existed in the past. As a result, may products may end not bought, which as a result, may frustrate a firm that may have spent a lot of money paying for its item for the period it has been in retail stores.

Thirdly, to some extent, (Kenderdine, et al 1) argue that, slotting allowance done by retailer does not guarantee selling goods of the manufacturer. As a result, this can end up affecting the overall profits and sales of both the manufacturer and retailer. To some point, it leads to customer in satisfaction in sense that, a retailer may use slotting fees to stock the shop with goods without first considering the target market. Despite of benefiting from slotting fees; many customers that may not be the users of the goods may end up searching for other retail shops who in this case may be selling what they need. With this in mind, it is with no doubt; it would lead to market share thus; becoming unfavorable to the retailer shop. In addition, the manufacturer may incur losses in the sense that, goods may end up expiring in the retail shop whose otherwise would have been told in other potential market. In this regard, it may affect the overall profits and sales for both the manufacturer and the retailer.

Conclusion

            In facts, it is obvious that, slotting allowance is both valuable and still detrimental. As discussed in the paper, it may be valuable in the sense that, it guarantees effective distribution, efficiently allocates a retail shelf space in the most profitable and valuable way and enabling goods to be accessible to customers more easily (Gloom et al, 1). On the contrary, it may create barriers for smaller businesses that may not have cash flow to compete with other large companies, businesses enquiring losses in paying slotting fees and a time no guarantee of the goods been sold. With this regard, this paper has examined three points in various articles in support and against the use of slotting allowances.

The duties of a Manager vary widely depending on the industry, but some responsibilities are common to managers in all fields. Managers are responsible in making sure that the employees perform their duties in a timely and accurate manner. They have powers to hire and fire employees who do not have important input into the requirements needed for the company to progress. In many companies, there are levels of management whose work is to supervise employees at one level but may have one higher management (Karl, et al 1991). The Manager spends a lot of time giving direction to the organization in showing what need to be done, when it needs to be done and how it needs to be done. Instead of giving order, an effective manager gives instruction for their different people who need to be told in a sensitive way. When a manager do this well, he will achieve the best results thus becoming a better manager. This paper aims to look at the skills that are required for the manager to be effective.

As mentioned above, effective manager should give instructions instead of orders. When one gives orders, he or she does not give the other person to give suggestion instead, individuals tend to do what is being ordered. When a Manager give instructions, there is a freedom of coming up with the best way to perform the task thus getting the job done effectively. When an employee is given instructions, there is support in performing the tasks in a successful way. Good communication is important for any manager who wants to be effective (Catherine, et al2004). Communication involves speaking as well as listening. If the message is being misunderstand, it should be clarified. Visionary managers share their vision with the employees along with making sure the team understands what needs to be done. They make sure the employees contribute in the organization success by inspiring them to have their own visions and reach out on those visions (Flamholtz, 1996).

No management can impart the organization without the skill of integrity. Therefore, they should practice what they tell the employees to do. They should be an example that the employees can follow without questioning. A negative leader practices unethical business and expect others not to do the same. Delegating responsibility is an important skill that the leader should posses. This means that, the manager should train the subordinates or team members to perform their tasks in the right manner and inspire them to do better than he can do. There should be no fear of being overshadowed by the employees. As much this is important, the team should have faith on the leader that he is doing what is needed to be done, for this will show the team that doing such assignment s is important.  People do not have respect for indecisive managers. They should always think carefully before making decisions, at the same time not take too long in making decisions. Management training emphasize that the top leader should routinely reward their staff. This will motivate the staffs to be more effective and the lazy one to inspire to do better so as to be rewarded. The reward should be something that shows the staffs that their work is vital in the organization. This may include a pay rise in salary, a promotion or a compliment of good work (Biilsberry, 1996).

One of the most important skills in management profession is creation of an overall strategy that views on dealing with most of the issues that the profession faces. The leader should be in a position to deal with the challenges that the organization faces rather than becoming discourage. Being accountable on records management issue help one to stay focus on the basic skills required.

Shipboard Incident

Shipboard Incident

Name

Instructor

            It is a well-documented fact; MSC Sonia is the container ship, which operates on the linear service between Australian East coast and Asia, Brisbane and Sydney.  MSC Sonia was built by Mitsubishi industries in 1972. In essence, the ship has 261 m overall length, 32.26M the molded breadth and 21.49 depth. According to Australian transport Safety Bureau 2007, the occurrence of the ship been severely burnt by the stream was due to lack of job safety, communication and hazard awareness. Additionally, investigation outlined that, the exhaustion of the boiler safety on, which it was placed indicated that, personnel in the funnel casing were vulnerable at the time that the boiler safety valve maneuvered. With this regard, this paper seeks to analyze the report of the crew member that seriously burned by steam on the board of MSC Sonia.

According to Australian transport Safety Bureau 2007, the tragedy occurred on 10 April, at around 9.45 am. With no doubt; the incident was so much traumatism that, the ship carried the normal cargo exchanges thus, the degree of the consequences of the damage being high. In conjunction with this, the ship captain joined the ship whose plan was to complete the audit of the ship management through carrying out inspection. In facts, the crew carried out their normal maintenance duties and normal watch keeping. With this in mind, investigations were done to establish the cause of the tragedy, and results indicated that, while the ordinary seaman with the boatswain were painting the starboard of the main engine exhaust, the steam unexpectedly uttered the boiler safety valve. Surprisingly, the chief engineer, the surveyor and the second engineer knew that the steam would exhaust in the funnel top vent but; they assumed that no tragedy would occur in that, the incidence would be clear for all personnel. In this regard, Australian transport Safety Bureau argues that, if each group knew activities to be carried out in tragedy, the incident would not have occurred. In facts, all members had the seagoing experience but their ignorance for the incidence caused the ship tragedy.

In essence, at the time of incidence, the MSC Sonia ship had one Myanmar crew with thirty Indian nationals. It is a well-documented fact; the master held an Indian certificate of skill with seventeen years of seagoing experience in addition, was sailing as the master for six years. In conjunction with this, the chief engineer held a class one certificate of competency in Indian in addition, has thirty two years of seagoing working experience in the sense that, he had been a chief engineer from 1990. Additionally, the chief mate held the Indian first mate certificate with eighteen years of the seagoing experience. The seagoing engineer on the other hand, had twenty three of the seagoing experience. Despite the experiences and education background the mentioned people had, they were not aware of the dangers associated while working in the platform of the conduit casing. In this regard, the chief engineers, surveyor with the second engineer were not equipped that, the crew was working in the top platform of funnel casing. Secondly, there were no safety issues in the sense that, the engineer officer and the senior deck never discussed their work programs adequately to enhance awareness of each department responsibilities. In conjunction with this, the ship crew never considered risks associated with painting of the funnel top exhaust or inspecting the boiler. With no doubt; the direction through, which the placement of steam vent pipe was exhausted outlined that, any individual in the funnel top platform was vulnerable for the tragedy. Subsequently, surveyor neglected to control the risks linked to the operating safety valves.

Investigations done by Australian transport Safety Bureau indicated that, the vent pipe construction attributed to the incidence occurrence in the sense that, it never directed the exhausting steam at the height above the working platform. It is borne in mind; the vent pipe stands at 0.5 M above the deck whereby it is terminated with the right angle bend, and the steam is directed towards the main working platform areas. With this regard, report outline that, there would no injuries of the ordinary seaman had the pipe been designed directing the steam away from the height above the person standing the platform.

In reality, the ship security management system demanded a permit for the working system but, never included the necessities for the ship crew to carry out the hazardous tasks. With this regard, the chief engineer and the chief mate never identified some hazards that demanded attention in the sense that, they carried their normal duties. In this context, if the chief mate with the chief engineer completed their tasks, it is argued that, they would have identified the hazard of venting of steam. Despite the surveyor been aware that the steam would exhaust the top funnel; he assumed that the ship crew would ensure the area was clear of the personnel. Subsequently, he never checked the strategies that would have controlled the risks. With this in mind, Australian transport Safety Bureau outline that, if the surveyor controlled the hazards associated with the safety valves, he would have controlled the risk.

In facts, the MSC Sonia protection management demanded the senior staff to discuss the maintenance completed in two weeks and forwarded to the ship’s manager like the maintenance report. Nevertheless, the protection management had not outlined the need of carrying out daily meetings, which as a result, the ship crew never identified the need for implementing the system. Typically, the chief mate discussed the maintenance issue with the engineers in cases when he felt the need for addressing the technical input. In this regard, if the engineer officer and the senior deck met occasionally to discuss the intended work to complete; they would probably identify the hazards and fix it. Nevertheless, this was not the case in that, the steam exhausted from the boiler safety valves when crew members were working with the funnel exterior top platform.

In conclusion, the Australian transport Safety Bureau outline that, the MSC ship management introduced some safety actions to prevent such incidence occurring. In essence, the company issued numerous safety circulars that emphasized on effective communication, job planning and analysis. In conjunction with this, job planning system demanded the toolbox meeting and completion of the risk assessment before any work started. With this regard, the company intends to prevent the incident occurrence by working on areas that require improvement and change. In this regard, this paper has analyzed the report of the crew member that seriously burned by steam on the board of MSC Sonia.

Safety, Security, Health and Environmental law in Australia

Safety, Security, Health and Environmental law in Australia

 

Introduction

 

In Australia, safety, security, healths as well as environmental laws are stated. Every State and Region has laws that adjust health, safety in places of work as well as laws for environmental protection. The commonwealth has also ratified laws to legalize the health as well as security of commonwealth public sectors employees, employees for private sector who have centralized self-insurance licenses as well as separate laws for regulating health and safety in industries. The commonwealth has ratified laws that aim to guard biological assortment. The approach in connection to security is more different. Security compulsions have been passed through definite industries as well as precise activities. Guidance to legal compliances is usually provided through codes of practice as well as the materials for guiding. The category of these codes of practice usually differs from region to region. Regulatory authorities as well as environmental laws have enforced safety, Security, Health. This paper aims at showing these set of laws and how they have been practiced.

In the Wale of New South, the job-related healths as well as safety set of laws of practice are not lawfully binding. While falling in line with policy of performance is not a resistance, failure to abide by can be used in proof within lawful proceedings for break of the act. In Queensland as well as Victoria compliance with set of laws, practice is a guard. Australian customary is not lawfully binding except particularly identified by the legislation. According Inspector Marceady (2007), NSWIRComm 132 demonstrates where Australian standards are not particularly identified in the articulate terms of the set of laws and not values in Australian, which can be the crucial point of any judicial thought of legal responsibility or else sentencing. In overseer Marceady Falcon NSWIRComm 132, a law outworker on building a place was fined $73,125 in additional to the director been fined $4100 in relation to an occurrence where a worker of sub-contractor knock down from a height while doing his usual job in cement rendering. The employee lost balance while performing his duties. Farcon was therefore charged in s 8(2) law of the job-related Health as well as Security Act 2000 (NSW) owed to failure in making sure people other than employees are not exposed to risk in their health as well as security arising due to its job while in the places if work. Farcon’s manager was also accused in s 8(2) pursuant to s 26(1) that considered a manager legally responsible for the offences of the firm (Peter, 2004)

In sentencing, the prosecutor presented that view should be due to failure of the short-lived handrail to gather the necessities of Australian standard ASI675- fixed policies, walkways, set of steps as well as ladders –Design, construction in addition to putting in place. On the other hand, Staunton tends to do away with this approach. Australian values have been established by the courts as the agreement of specialized view as well as realistic skill as to the rational into safe precautions. These set of laws are not lawfully required and it is up to the judge to determine the quantity of influence to give to individuals. Honour however believed in the provision of law cl 56 (Prevention in falling from heights-specific in hazard control procedures) of the job-related Health as well as security Regulations 2001 (NSW) to be more of its importance (Michael, 2007).

In the environmental perspective, licensing is the strength of environmental safety approaches. All activities in the environmental are required to have a license. The licenses permit ensures that conditions are been provided in place to avoid pollution. Magistrates take the aspect of licenses as a serious condition and they regard it as commitment of trust. Within State Pollution Control Commission v CSR Ltd (1989) 75 LGRA 1, Cripps J made a review for the treatment as follows. CSR Ltd was provided with a license in order to contaminate. Its license was restricted upon not spoiling whichever rather than acceptable as well as retaining assured values in way to make sure that the environment is been taken care off. In effect, it was so trusted that it would not pollute the water more than in the case the permission was been given. Environmental regulators have a range of enforcement weapons. These include Investigation notices of the environment, improvement notices of the environment as well as prohibition notices (Michael, 2007).

Under public order for contaminating water was obligated by, Abigroup Contractors Pty limited (2007) NSWLEC 712. This regulation was issued in relation to the incident that related to the pollution of water that was situated in The Wale of New South within Billinudgel Nature Reserve at Yelgun that had water that contained top soil, dirt, mud, sludge, sand as well as dead matters that had hanging solids. This incident occurred within Brunswick Heads heading to the northern part of New South Wales. It involved construction that had covered a region of just about 200 hectares of overflow pure in nature coffers. This community has been listed as an endangered society in the endangered Species Conversion Act 1995 (NSW) from the time in 2004 December. This was still in the position of environmental planning set of law No 14- Coastal West elands (SEPP No 14). This law aims in ensuring the protection and conservation of coastal wastelands within Wales of New South through majoring any chosen growth that involves clearance, tiring or else filling wetlands through the help of making levees going on in wetlands. In additional to this the environmental running agent are been selected for the project that need the preparation support. This prior arrangement was been permitted by means of the Manager Broad of the Section of Infrastructure, Scheduling as well as Natural Resources (Peter, 2004).

The state of Government Of Tasmania all the way through the Tasmania Parks as well as Wildlife air forces in additional to the Natural times gone by Protection Subdivision , a partition within the Department Of Tourism, drawings as well as Environmental been responsible in following a line of investigation in addition to administration of Macquarie as well as the surrounding. The Australian Government has the task of the managing the area according to Zone (EEZ) (Environmental Australia 2001). These protection is been symbolized into both the federal as well as state stages that include the Environmental Protection Conservation Act 1999(Cth), the Nature Conservation Act 2002 in additional to Reserves Management Act 2002.This management permits the tourists under strictly approaches conditions that allows visitors to experience the island’s natural values (Peter, 2004).

The Office of the Parliamentary Counsel in Australia outlines legislation for the Territory in the Northern region. Government together with private associates of the Legislative congregation of the Northern part Territory that include, Bills being introduced within the Legislative body which, when approved along with been agreed to turn into Acts in the Northern Territory. Secondly, subsidiary legislation that consists of the Administrator, panel of judges in addition to courts councils along with other legislative authorities that include set of laws, regulations of court, as well as by-laws. The other one is legislative body that makes the Administrator, Ministers as well as legal officeholders that entails appointments, speeches as well as notices (Michael, 2007).
