Exam L4M6 Topic 6 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 6
A garden centre has recently purchased some lollypop sticks to use as plant labels. The staff have written the name of the plant on the lollypop stick and put it next to the plant. This helps them identify which plant is which. However, after a couple of weeks, the lollypop sticks have become mouldy and the writing has faded.
Staff are now struggling to identity their plants. The Manager of the garden centre is considering returning the lollypop sticks and asking for a full refund as they were not fit for purpose. Can the Manager do this?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The correct answer is 'no- as this was not the lollypop sticks intended purpose'. When deciding if something is fit for purpose, you must consider its intended and common purpose. In this case it would be for making lollypops. As the garden centre is using them for something other than their intended purpose, they can't complain if it doesn't work. Fit for purpose is discussed on p.65 p.s. there's a question like this in the real exam - it's just not lollypop sticks ; )
