1. Develop a procedure to evaluate and review the allocation of resources, you will attach this procedure as part of your final submission.

For example, ABC Group developed a new business procurement policy to set some rules in place to govern the process of acquiring goods and services. The exact process will seek to minimize expenses associated with the purchase of those goods and services by using such strategies as volume purchasing, the establishment of a set roster of vendors, and establishing reorder protocols that help to keep inventories low without jeopardizing the function of the operation.

The procedure includes setting deadlines and providing mentoring. This is how we will review the allocation of resources. With deadlines we will allocate what is required of the resources, planning in detail and ensure not to miss the deadline. Mentors will be in contact with staff working with the new technology, staff and online resources. The mentors will help motivate staff and work with the deadlines, not jeopardizing the function of operatoins.)
