In identifying the external resourcing requirements, you should outline any supplier or purchasing considerations, budget or anything else relevant to obtaining quotations.
1. Internal capabilities of the business in relation to the resourcing requirements:
Resource 1 – Human resource: Internal staff to provide training to schools
- Assess the current skills and knowledge of the internal staff to determine if they have the necessary expertise to conduct training sessions for schools.
- Identify any gaps in skills or knowledge that may require additional training or hiring new staff members.
- Determine the availability of internal staff to allocate time for conducting the training sessions.
- Assess the suitability of the internal staff to effectively communicate and engage with students and teachers during the training sessions.
2. External resourcing requirements:
Resource 2 – Physical resource: Transport to schools – new vehicle required
- Research and identify potential suppliers or dealerships that provide vehicles suitable for transporting staff members to schools.
- Consider the budget for purchasing or leasing a new vehicle and gather quotations from different suppliers to compare prices and features.
- Evaluate the delivery timeframes and availability of warranty or after-sales services offered by the suppliers.
- Assess the suitability of the vehicle in terms of size, safety features, and fuel efficiency for transporting staff members to schools.
- Consider any maintenance or operating costs associated with the vehicle.
Resource 3 – Physical resource: Wristband gifts for students
- Identify potential suppliers or manufacturers that provide wristbands suitable for gifting to students.
- Determine the required quantity of wristbands based on the number of students expected to participate in the school visits.
- Consider the budget for purchasing the wristbands and obtain quotations from different suppliers to compare prices and quality.
- Evaluate the delivery timeframes and any customization options offered by the suppliers, such as adding the company logo or slogan on the wristbands.
- Ensure the wristbands meet safety standards and are suitable for the target age group of the students.
1. Internal capabilities of the business in relation to the resourcing requirements:
- Human resource: The business has internal staff who are qualified and experienced in providing training to schools. They have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively deliver the training sessions.
2. External resourcing requirements:
- Resource 2: Transport to schools - new vehicle required:
- Supplier or purchasing considerations: The business needs to identify reliable and efficient vehicle suppliers who can provide a suitable vehicle for transporting staff to schools. Considerations such as vehicle specifications, reliability, maintenance services, and fuel efficiency should be taken into account.
- Budget: The business needs to establish a budget for purchasing a new vehicle. This budget should consider the cost of the vehicle, insurance, registration, and any ongoing maintenance or servicing expenses.
- Resource 3: Wristband gifts for students:
- Supplier or purchasing considerations: The business needs to identify suppliers who can provide high-quality wristbands at a reasonable price. Considerations such as the quality of the wristbands, customization options, delivery timeframes, and reliability of the supplier should be considered. Obtaining quotations from different suppliers can help in making an informed decision.
- Budget: The business needs to establish a budget for purchasing the wristbands. This budget should consider the number of students to be provided with wristbands, the desired quality and design, and any associated packaging or delivery costs.
By considering these external resourcing requirements, the business can effectively plan and allocate resources to organize school visits.
