Study Notes
Resource Allocation
- The process of assigning and managing resources in a way that maximizes efficiency and productivity
- Involves identifying the resources needed to achieve a goal or objective
- Allocating resources effectively can lead to:
- Increased productivity
- Improved efficiency
- Better decision-making
- Enhanced competitiveness
- Common resource allocation techniques:
- Linear programming
- Integer programming
- Dynamic programming
- Heuristics
Resource Management
- The process of planning, organizing, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals and objectives
- Involves:
- Identifying and acquiring resources
- Allocating resources effectively
- Monitoring and controlling resource usage
- Optimizing resource utilization
- Effective resource management can lead to:
- Improved productivity
- Enhanced efficiency
- Better decision-making
- Increased competitiveness
- Resource management frameworks:
- Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)
- PRINCE2
- Agile
Material Resources
- Tangible assets used to produce goods and services
- Examples:
- Raw materials (e.g., wood, steel, cotton)
- Equipment (e.g., machines, tools, vehicles)
- Supplies (e.g., paper, ink, fuel)
- Inventory (e.g., finished goods, work-in-progress)
- Effective management of material resources is critical to:
-
Reducing waste and costs
-
Improving quality and productivity
Enhancing customer satisfaction
-
Maintaining competitiveness
-
Human Resources
- The people who work for an organization, including their skills, knowledge, and experience
- Involves:
- Recruitment and selection
- Training and development
- Performance management
- Compensation and benefits
- Effective human resource management is critical to:
- Improving productivity and efficiency
- Enhancing employee engagement and motivation
- Reducing turnover and absenteeism
- Maintaining competitiveness
Natural Resources
- Resources that occur naturally within the environment
- Examples:
- Water
- Land
- Air
- Minerals (e.g., coal, iron, copper)
- Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, hydro)
- Effective management of natural resources is critical to:
- Maintaining ecological balance
- Ensuring sustainability
- Reducing environmental degradation
- Supporting economic growth and development
