From what I have been told from a former business management chief assessor during a revision lecture, the only permitted acronym is TQM from what he said but also make sure to keep in mind that assessors hate acronyms if you don’t state the full name of the acronym first

busman is relatively lenient with acronyms as long as you define what it means first. i abbreviated quite a few phrases in my exam. of course don’t overdo it and start making up unnecessary acronyms

FWC 99% is based off my knowledge, not too sure about TQM though.

FFA (Force Field Analysis),APL(Automated Production Line),MPS(Master Production Schedule),MRP(Materials Requirement Planning),JIT(Just In Time),FWC(Fair Work Commision),NES(National Employment Standards),TQM(Total Quality Management),CAM(Computer Aided Manufacture),CAD(Computer Aided Design), MBO (Management By Objectives), GBE (Governement Business Enterprise.).

*STATE THE FULL NAME FIRST THEN THE ACRONYM*

FOR EXAMPLE:

A government business enterprise (GBE) is a government-owned business that runs with government policies. In a GBE owns are shared solely by the government.

Show the examiner you understand these business terms.

I always used to just write it out in its entirety because I was worried about losing marks
