The situation

What has happened

Halvorsen and Reid, a corporate account, has ordered twelve medium hand-tied gift bouquets as staff recognition gifts (ORD-26-4447), each going to a different address on Friday 18 September with its own card message from a spreadsheet. The Head Designer has given you the whole job: stock pull, construction, card matching, quality check and wrapping, ready for the Orders and Delivery Coordinator to plan a hire van run. The design standards guide sets the medium hand-tied specification, the spiral technique and the finish. Cool room 1 holds garden roses, snapdragons, eucalyptus, kangaroo paw and flowering gum from this week's deliveries. A near miss last week involved a knife left in a bucket, and the workroom is busy with event production alongside you.

Your brief. Plan the stock, construct twelve consistent medium hand-tied bouquets to the specification, match every card message correctly, complete a bench quality check, wrap and label each bouquet, keep tools and the bench safe, and update the Order Book so the delivery run can be planned.

Assess the spiral technique, binding point, stem length and consistency across the twelve bouquets against the specification, accurate card matching, stock pull arithmetic and first in first out use, bench and tool safety throughout, and the completeness of the Order Book update and handover note. Photographs of the sample and the finished set support direct observation.
