Lesson Recognize Personal Entrepreneurial

Competencies and Skills (PeCS)
1 needed in Electrical Installation
and Maintenance
In this lesson, you will learn more about entrepreneurship and the
entrepreneurial competencies related to Electrical Installation and
Maintenance. This lesson will also stimulate your mind to think about
entrepreneurship and its role in the business community in particular
and the economic, and social development in general.

What’s In

Entrepreneurs are people with skills and capabilities to see and evaluate
business opportunities. They are individuals that can strategically
identify products or services needed by the community. Consequently,
they deliver these products and services at the right time and at the right
place.
Entrepreneurs are agents of economic change. They organize, manage
and assume risks of a business. Some of the good qualities of an
entrepreneur are opportunity seekers, risk takers, goal setters, excellent
planners, and confident problem solvers, hardworking, persistent and
committed workers.
Entrepreneurship, on the other hand, is not just a simple business
activity. It is a strategic process of innovation and creation of new

5
ventures. Basically, entrepreneurship is both an art and science of
converting business ideas into marketable products or services to
improve the quality of living.

What’s New

The entrepreneurial competencies refer to the important characteristics

that an individual should possess in order to perform entrepreneurial
functions effectively. In this module, you will learn some of the most
important characteristics, attributes, lifestyle, skills and traits of a
successful entrepreneur in order to be successful in a chosen career.

What is It

Below are few important characteristics / traits / attributes of a

good entrepreneur:

• Hardworking: This means habitually working diligently for a long

period of time. Hardworking people keep on improving their performance
to produce good products and results, or provide good services.

• Confident: Entrepreneurs have confidence in one’s ability and own

judgment. They exhibit self-confidence in order to cope with all the risks
of operating their own business.

• Disciplined: Successful entrepreneurs always stick to the plan and

fight the temptation to do what is unimportant.

• Committed: A good entrepreneur accepts full responsibility of

everything in his/her business. He/she gives full commitment and solid
dedication to make the business successful.

• Ability to Accept Change: Change occurs frequently. When one owns

a business, he/she should cope-up and thrive on changes. He/she has to
capitalize on positive changes to make his/her business grow.

• Creative: An entrepreneur should be creative and innovative to stay in

the business and have an edge over the other competitors.

• Initiative: An entrepreneur takes the initiative. You must put yourself

in a position where you are responsible for the failure or success of your
business.

6
• Profit-Oriented: An entrepreneur enters into the world of business to
generate profit or additional income. This shall become the bread and
butter for you and for your family as well. Therefore, you must see to it
that the business can generate income.

Here are the important skills of a successful entrepreneur:

• Excellent Planner: Planning is strategic thinking and setting of goals

to achieve objectives by carefully maximizing all the available resources.
A good entrepreneur develops and applies step-by-step plans to realize
the goals. A good entrepreneur knows that planning is an effective skill
only when combined with action.

• Possesses People Skills: It is an important skill in order to be

successful in any kind of business. People skill refers to the effective and
efficient communication and relation to people working in and out of your
business. In the day-to-day business transactions, you need to deal with
people. A well-developed people skill can spell out the difference between
success and failure of the business.

• Sound Decision Maker: Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to

think quickly by making wise decision towards pre-determined set
objectives. Sound decision should spring out from given facts and
information and should be towards the pre-determined objectives.

Lesson Receive and Inspect

Electrical Supplies,
4 Materials and Tools
In this lesson, you will be able to learn how to receive and inspect
materials and tools as per quantity and specification based on
requisition. Also, will also learn how tools and materials are being
checked for damages and manufacturing defects as well as handled with
appropriate safety devices and set aside to appropriate location nearest to
the workplace.

What’s In

Have you heard of news

about a local courier
company in which packages
or parcels being handled to
them for delivery are
mishandled as showed on a
viral video? Here is a picture
of it and try to reflect on it.

What can you say about the

photo? Do you think what
*photo credits: abs-cbn.news.com
they do is proper handling of packages? Why or why
not? If you are the receiver of one of the package on the
photo, what would you feel? Why? What if the parcel/package arrived at
your house have defects or damages? What will you do?

What’s New

One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of

the company’s supplies, materials and anything that the company needs.

30
 31

But his duty does not end in just purchasing but also in receiving the
deliveries of what he purchased.

What is It

In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the
right materials and supplies were delivered and all in good condition
without defects.
A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following
questions:
1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and
address. If your agency has more than one location, make sure the goods
are for this exact address. Check the freight to see if it is the same as
described on the delivery receipt. Look at the label on each item to make
sure the shipment belongs to you.
2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage.
Check for holes, water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can.
Check for rattling. Listen for something broken inside. Check to see if
any package has been opened or if the sealing tape has been tampered
with.
3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number
on the delivery receipt to the number you have counted. If the shipment
is on a pallet, check to make sure the pallet is solid with no voids inside
the stack. If the shipment is shrink or stretch wrapped, make sure the
wrap hasn't been cut and pieces removed. Sign only for the type of unit
you receive. For example: two pallets. Don't sign for the number of
packages that are supposed to be on the pallet. However, if time permits
or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped, count the packages, and
only then sign for the number of packages.
B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following:
1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the
terms specified by your agency, or is damaged to the point where it no
longer has a value.
2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note
exceptions on the delivery receipt.

31
 32

C. How to note exceptions:

1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately.
Pinpoint the locations of all defects. If you can see the damage, have the
driver wait while you open and inspect the packages. Write down the
number and identity of the damaged pieces. This is called a "joint
inventory."

2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number

of pieces actually delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then
write down the number of pieces missing and note them as "short."

3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery

receipt. Have the driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full
name (not initials or nicknames). After the driver signs, you sign also.
Write your agency's name, your full name, the date, and the time of day.

D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection:

1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to

inspect the damaged goods and packaging. The formal request should
be made by phone right after discovering any loss or damage.

2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier
in writing. Note the date and time of your previous phone call and the
person contacted. Keep a copy of your request letter on file.

3. Once contacted about damage or shortage, the carrier may waive

inspection and tell you so. If so, write down the name of the person who
waived the inspection, and the date and time of waiver. Then conduct
your own detailed inspection. Write up your findings in a report and
attach it to the file. If you can, take photographs to confirm your
inspection report.

32
 33

What I Have Learned

Try to reflect how much you’ve learned by answering the following

questions. write your answer on separate ¼ sheet of paper.

What I Can Do

Direction: Create a drama skit on receiving supplies, materials,

tools and equipment based on the given situation. Write it on 1
piece of short size bond paper.
