The sustainability is the crucial requirement of every industry so that they can sustain long in the global market with the limited use of available requirement. In this paper we are working on the organization named as “Reliance Petroleum Limited” to predict the transformation required in the current working structure of the organization to achieve sustainability of the resources used in the refining of the petroleum. The company is looking forward to deploy the strategy in the curriculum of the organization to make limited use of corresponding resources in the manufacturing of the refined petroleum. The top executives want to provide health and safe working environment to the employees during their working hours (Mink, 2012). The adaptation of the eco-friendly methodology helps in reducing the hazardous waste produced by the organization in the locality which can cause contamination in the lakes, rivers, and others. The new market policies should be taken under consideration to achieve green environment for the Reliance petroleum plant. “The development of the strategy involves the active participation of the team members to set the plan for the organization to conquer the green environment” (Basiago, 2014). The views and opinion placed by the stakeholders helps in knowing the gaps which exists with the current working structure of the firm. The objective of the research paper is to develop the eco-friendly environment with the effective utilization of the resources (Walls, 2013). “The analysis of the stakeholders and the inclusion of performance indicators are the two main strategies which are used for achieving sustainability in the utilization of the resources” (Ostrom, 2010).

Task 2:

1.Summary:

The road map of the implementation plan shows that the sustainability of the enterprise can be achieved by the development of the metrics which carries the information related to the waste produced, associated performance indicators, and its subsequent effect on the environment.  The report should be prepared which carries the information related to the demand raised by the customers, amount of investment associated with the procurement of raw material for the management of supply chain demand, and metrics for the analysis of quality of material, required cost, and supplier information. The following diagram shows the road map to achieve sustainability.

Efficiency targets Plan

                                                                     

 The new standards and policies should be explained to the planning team so that they can develop the plan according to the effective utilization of the resources and reducing the assimilation of the waste in the environment. The regulatory compliance should be taken under consideration so as to fulfil correspondent legal requirement. The procurement plan should be development according to the changing requirement of the customers and the stakeholders. The selection of the supplier should be based on the checklist which carries the characteristics like cost, location, past history, contacts, and others. The profit of the organization can be raised to an high extent. The relationship should be maintained between the supplier and the procurement plan to manage the supply chain demand of the enterprise in the limiter amount of costs. The follow up of the road map helps in achieving sustainability in the working culture of the present organization. The four phases should be taken under consideration for the deployment of the new strategically designed plan which are classified as monitoring and evaluation, visioning, implementation, and assessment of the integration (Eccles, 2014).

The coordination should be developed between the activities of evaluation and the monitoring system. The accountability mechanism should be placed for the measurement of the capacity of utilizing the equipment and resources to their full extent (Bubriski, 2008). The wastage of the resources can be minimised to develop the green circulation. The strategy for developing the healthy environment is based on the principles such as development of new policies and procedures, the risks should be identified for minimizing the generation of waste from the resources, recycling of the resources should be focused, completion of the legal requirement, follow up of the regulatory compliance, increasing the operational working capability of the employees, setting of the clear determination of the goal, specification of the annual budgeting according to the new strategic plan, reduction in the explosion of the chemicals with the use of tools and technologies, and others. With the use of sustainability strategy, it can be measured that the reduction in the waste production can be reduced to an high extent by measuring the amount of pollutant present in the air, satisfaction of the human resource, thermal utilization, reduction in the electricity units, and reduction in the noise hazard. The most effective terminology which can be taken under consideration are the principle based on reducing, recycling, and reusing of the waste products.

Purchasing procedures for raw materials

The flow of communication should be maintained between the top executives and the stakeholders for the effective circulation of the information. The proactive strategies should be planned for the identification of the risks and deployment of the risks mitigation plan. The good and healthy environment should be provided to the employees. The implementation of the monitoring system helps in generating the reports for the effective utilization of resources and the amount of hazardous waste produced from the resources (Simonskiene, 2015). The distribution of authority, authentication and responsibilities helps in achieving the level of sustainability because the utilization of resources depends in the individual hands. The selection of the supplier is the key step to get good quality raw material at the working site within the limits of time. “The enhanced methodologies should be used for reducing the utilization of water, electricity, gas, crude oil, and other raw material required for refining” (Nollman, 2013). “The performance indicators should be used for measuring the emission of waste and carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the locality” (Ruedig, 2013).

Task 3:

1.Meeting Notes

The focus should be given no developing the purchasing strategies for the raw material used by the organization for manufacturing. The scorecard of the supplier should be measured and checked before signing the contract with the new or old supplier. The suitability of the supplier depend upon the cost associated with the delivery of the raw material, type and quality of the raw material, compliance with the rules and regulation with the environmental policies, and carrying the ethical behaviour in the working curriculum of the past history. After the selection of the supplier, the second major step to decide the procedure used for purchasing the raw material from the supplier to maintain the demand and supply of the raw material at the site location. It should be the key responsibility of the supplier to provide the raw material on time so that the efficiency of the working procedures should be maintained. The requirement of the material needed should be get specified by indulging the views and opinions of the stakeholders and the customers. The quality and the amount of the material needed should be evaluated before placing the order so as to maintain overrunning and under-running of the supply of material at the working site. The sustainability of the supplier can be checked by monitoring and evaluating the management of the supply and demand of the resources and associated quality of the product. The sustainability of the purchasing procedures can be improved by the periodic assessment of the waste and over utilization of the resources. The countermeasures should be placed for reducing the amount of waste produced with the continuation of manufacturing of the product at the work site.

Summary of the result of consultation

2.Summary of the result of consultation:

“The environmental policies, rules, ad regulation should be followed for achieving the sustainability by limiting the use of non-renewable resources” (Thomson, 2015). Some of the laws which should be given privilege are named as the environmental protection and biodiversity conservation act 1999, clean water act, conservation of resources and recovery act, national environmental and policy act, comprehensive environmental response act, compensation and liability act (Young, 2013).

The policies and procedures of the workplace which should be undertaken in the development of the strategic plan are as clear identification of the goal and mission set by the company, underlying company’s objective to achieve mission of the enterprise within the prescribed time, adoption of autocratic style of leadership to develop the strategic plan of the company, evaluation of the availability of the financial budget for the deployment of new tools and technologies, monitoring of the cash flow and budget of the firm, generation of the financial statement, analysis of the auditing report, and many more (Agarwal, 2015). The development of the long range strategic plan is based on the setting of the company goals and objective. The funds issued for the strategic plan are based on the assessment and interpretation of the minimal wasting of the resources.  The operational capability of the enterprise can be improved by restricting the availability of the overrunning of the raw material (Osha, 2016). The active participation is required developing the goal and objective of the firm. The preparation of the timeline chart helps in estimating the time required for the manufacturing of the product. The requirement of the resources needed for business processes should be proactively known so as to maintain the continuity of the effective utilization of the resources.

From the research, it has been determined that the total consumption of water is required about 724,000 cu.m., electricity is about 2626 units, the consumption of gas is around 104,000 cu.m.,  consumption of packaging material is around 267,000 litres, and the amount of crude oil required for refining is around 767,000 litres. It has been analysed tht the waste generate from each resources have an adverse effect on the environment. The waste generated from the water is around 435,000 cu.m., electricity is about 536 units, gas is about 26000 cu.m., packaging is around 25000 cu.m., and crude oil is about 163000 cu.m.  

The sustainable strategy should be developed on the basis of external context, internal context, business context, and human and financial context. “The leadership plays an important role in improving the sustainable performance in terms of output achieved for reducing the waste associated with each resource” (Mensah, 2004). The feedback loops help in providing the reaction of the stakeholders to develop the long term plan for increasing the profitability ration of the enterprise. “The resources and their efficiency should be demonstrated regularly for enabling effective utilization of resources with minimum amount of waste produced” (Hoa, 2002). The utilization of the resources should be continued monitored with the deployment of the key performance indicators and the mechanism used for implementation (Ostrom, 2010). The production of carbon dioxide should be reduced by the deployment of the carbon management plan, development of the roadmap for reducing the emission of carbon, and reduction from the emission of the resource utilization.
