Background
Mr James Frost is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the “Blue Cut Fashion” clothing store. The store is located in the Melbourne Central shopping mall. Blue Cut (for short) specialises in blue cotton products. While the range of styles is limited, the Blue Cut clothes are popular with teenagers and young adults.

While James is quite happy with the store’s operation, his Sales Manager - Ms Jane Fry - suggests they could do a much better job in the future. She believes that the Blue Cut management should collect the necessary data related to various aspects of its business. Then the data collected in Excel 2007 needs to be analysed and visualised to make a number of observations which could provide evidence of the business success and its shortcomings. Finally, a number of recommendations 英國碩士dissertationon how to improve the Blue Cut performance should be reported to the Blue Cut management. The following areas of improvement should be considered:
• acquiring the best selling stock;
• improving the sales strategy; and,
• better management of the store deliveries and suppliers.

Jane suggests that observations to be made should help answer a number of important questions (Take the time to consider why you think these questions are of particular interest to Jane and James):
