Impact evaluations are commonly associated with business,
but in fact they are applicable to all walks of life.
In summary, an impact evaluation will look at what possible
outcomes a specific action can have and how to minimize or prevent any negative
outcomes.
A good example of this is article submission. You can
evaluate the shipping procedure to find what are known as indicators of damage.
These are the stages of the process that are most likely to result in product
damage.
The answer to this is to develop a packaging method that
will keep your specific product safe from the time it leaves the factory until
it reaches the customer. The more product lines you have, the more difficult
this can be, but the more important it is.
General life
Have you ever needed to make a decision but don't know which
is the right path to choose? You will likely consider all the options and what
the possible outcomes are. This is an impact evaluation!
Why is impact evaluation
important?
There are a variety of reasons why impact evaluation is so
important:
Costs
The most obvious benefit is cost reduction in a business
environment. If you have a specific product that you sell, but 50% of them are
damaged in transit, then you will want to do an impact assessment and
find out how to keep the items safe in transit.
This will reduce the amount of damage and the amount of
funds you have to spend by sending a free replacement.
This will lower your costs and could dramatically improve
your profits!
Reputation
Perhaps just as important is the reputation of your company.
The right thing to do when something is damaged in transit is to replace it
free of charge. This keeps the customer happy and hurts your profits.
However, no matter how good your customer service is, if the
same problem persists, your customers are likely to get tired. The free replacement will still mean they are waiting extra days to receive the product.
This is something that most people are not happy to do in today's instant
gratification society.
Word can spread that half of your products arrive broken and
your reputation will be seriously damaged; it is much more difficult to rebuild
your reputation than to destroy it.
Moral
The people most likely to detect a problem during your
production or packaging process are actually the personnel who perform this
process. These are also the best to ask to find out how to prevent the problem.
As a bonus, if you consult with your staff and, in
particular, implement a suggestion they make, they will feel that your opinion
and voice count. This will boost morale in your workplace and encourage them to
mention other places where you can make improvements.
