INITIAL REVIEW: Activities - desk jobs
Set up a spreadsheet with the following headings:
Activities / Task / Resources/
Concentrate first on resources (what you purchase) and what happens with these resources. Somewhere in the business there will be information on all your purchases (resources), eg paid invoices in the accounts department, or a well established ordering and stock check system which will help you. Decide which tasks use which resources:
ACTIVITY |
TASK
|
RESOURCES |
Administration |
Clerical support |
paper, envelopes, selotape, glue, staples, files, computer |
Warehousing |
Stock control |
computer, printer, photocopier, shredder |
Printing |
Plate making |
aluminium sheets, checmicals (list specifics), water, xxx-machine, |
You will expand on this later as we progress through the system to decide significant aspects and whether the task is covered by legislation. This extended sheet will help to determine what priorities need action, and inform objectives and targets.
Next we will do a seperate breakdown for energy use
