Recommendation:

I would like to Recommend on the following areas that’s should be help to achieve the goals of Evance Accessories Ltd. Basically I give the more emphasis on marketing and as well as the total activities.

  • A marketer can rarely satisfy everyone in a market. So, First task of Evance Accessories Ltd. marketing department must be market segmentation and identity these market which  present the greatest opportunity for them .Then setting their target market , after that  for each chosen market Evance Accessories Ltd. develops their market offering.
  • Evance Accessories Ltd. marketing department must try to understand the buyer needs, wants and demands.
  • Develop the long term relationship with key parties- buyers, buying house and suppliers.
  • Evance Accessories Ltd. management to build a marketing program to achieve the desires objectives. To achieve the objectives set the effective marketing mix (product, price, promotion and place).
  • To achieve the ultimate objectives, it’s very essay to follow the proper marketing concept.
  • That’s will better for Evance Accessories Ltd. to work with repeat buyer than new buyer. Because one estimate is that attracting a new customer can cost 5 times as much as pleasing an existing one.  Also, it might cost 16 times as much to bring the new buyer to the same level of profitability as the lost buyer.
  • So, customer retention is thus more important than customer attraction.
  • I request to Evance Accessories Ltd. to follow modern-customer orientation-organization chart then traditional organization chart.
  • Hopefully Evance Accessories Ltd. define their mission .I would like to say you can shared your mission statement with manager, employees. A clear mission statement   guides the employee to work independently and yet collectively toward realizing the organizational objectives.
  • Today’s business world moving very first by the digital revolution. The impact of these Evance Accessories Ltd. can implement the data based marketing.
  • Survey on buyer intentions regarding plant, equipment and raw materials.
  • Take an expert opinion regarding garments business.
  •  Identify their position based on the product life cycle and position of their   competitors, and then take a corrective action.
  • Evance Accessories Ltd. can developed their design section by create the innovative and unique products design for the marketing. For this purpose you can contract with a professional fashion designer in Bangladesh & abroad.
  • You can improve your procurement department for the better coordination with other section.
  • You can set the effective promotional tools for buyer awareness about your business. In this purpose Evance Accessories Ltd. can rearrange their web site and including more information about Evance Accessories Ltd.
  • In garments business relationship marketing should be very much effective, Evance Accessories Ltd. can follow this style.
  • Build a sound relation with marketing department to others department.
  • As early as possible you will implement HRM department for your business. It could be bring better result for you.
  • Evance Accessories management team can recruit the effective & efficient employee for their business. And ensure its-‘right people for the right position’.
  • Allow employees to participate decision making that affect them .They can increase productivity, commitment to works.
  • Guide rather than order. Set a good example, the top management set the style for his people. Subordinates always watching their boss. Be a person worth coping.
  •  Reward should be contingent on performance.
  • It’s helps organizations deals with globalize and deregulated capital markets.
  • Its helps to balance short-term, mid-term and long term trade off.
  •  If you follow the value chain management, it could be improves the allocation of recourses, streamlines planning and budgeting.

Conclusion:

The firm’s success depends not only on how well each department performs its work, but also on how well the various departmental activities are coordinated.

The linkages between activities are crucial for corporate success. The linkages are flows of information, goods and services, as well as systems and processes for adjusting activities.

Their importance is best illustrated by the Evance Accessories Ltd. example:

If, Only Evance Accessories Ltd. Marketing section delivers the order & shipment forecasts for the next period to all other departments in time and in reliable accuracy, procurement will be able to order the necessary raw materials or accessories for the correct date. And only if procurement does a good job and forwards order information to inbound logistics, only than operations will be able to schedule production in a way that guarantees the delivery of products in a timely and effective manner – as pre-determined by marketing.

In the result, this company vision is to provide the maximum satisfaction to our customers through continuous improvement of operational efficiency, cost effectiveness, latest design and talents of our work force.

This discussion reviews the management of advocates to align strategy, finance, information flow, human systems and decision-making processes to achieve the greatest value for the Evance Accessories Ltd buyers.
