ECPE PROPOSAL

Opening paragraph (proposal): State the purpose of the proposal Present the
questions and the options

The aim of this proposal is to discuss the challenges of your delivery company
and assess the efficacy of each possible option. Recently there has been a surge
of complaints because the company cannot offer same-day delivery. Therefore,
if we deem that this increased demand will become permanent then action needs
to be taken. The options available are: a) to hire more personnel and b) to invest
in robotic technology. (70 words)

Body paragraph I (proposal): first question “should we invest money” ?

According to recent statistics e-commerce sales will skyrocket within the next
three years. The $ 3 billion turnover of 2019 is expected to reach a staggering $
5 billion two years later. As a result, the current upward trend will be sustained
so our company has to invest today for profits tomorrow. (50 words)

Body paragraph II (proposal): second question “should we hire more


personnel”? (pros & cons)

To begin with, the first option available is to hire more personnel. With more
delivery people on the road, we can accelerate our services. This decision will
immediately alleviate our burden while at the same time goes against the tide of
unemployment. The latest issue of Labour Review verifies that 6,500 jobs are

lost every year in London alone because of modern technological equipment.


On the downside, however, more personnel means more steady wages so in case
of a decline in demand we will have to fire all these new employees which is
something not easy to happen. (100 words)

Body paragraph III (proposal): third question “should we invest in robotic


technology”? (pros & cons)

The next alternative to consider is the use of robotic technology, that is drones,
for delivery of goods. It is no secret that the drones are versatile devices that can
travel long distances carrying cargo. The drone technology is evolving day by
day and a fleet of state-of-the-art drones can give a competitive edge to our
company. Nevertheless, no progress comes without its risks. The efficient use of
high-end devices requires well-trained personnel in our headquarters and clients
that are familiar with technology. Many of our clients are too old to know how
to receive a package from a drone. Moreover, it is hard to find enough office
workers that could control a big number of drones. (110 words)

Closing paragraph (proposal): PROPOSE you own IDEA – what BLEND of


the options would be the best course of action?

All in all, it is a difficult decision to make but we have seen it as an opportunity


for progress. We can try to combine the benefits of both options. By this I mean
that we could hire a few people to meet the immediate demands and at the same
time invest in a fleet of a new drones. This fleet will launch a trial period of
delivery of goods in short distances and only to customers that would feel
comfortable with this method. In this way we will satisfy all our customers and
we will be better prepared for future developments. (100 words)
