Question 1

Consulting with supervisors and colleagues about resources will:&#10;A) provide a clear way of understanding how to purchase extra personal items&#10;B) provide a good opportunity for teams to order extra stock for themselves&#10;C) give you a better understanding of how and why they are being used&#10;D) give you a clear understanding of how you can order personal stock

Accepted Answer

Consulting with supervisors and colleagues about resources will give you a better understanding of how and why they are being used. This can help you make informed decisions about ordering and using resources effectively. It is not related to ordering personal items or stock for teams. Consulting with supervisors and colleagues about resources will give you a better understanding of how and why they are being used, which can help you make informed decisions about resource allocation and usage. It also fosters collaboration and communication within the team. Options A and D are not necessarily the main purpose of consulting with supervisors and colleagues about resources, and option B implies that teams can order extra stock for themselves without considering the bigger picture of resource allocation within the organization.

Question 2

It is important that organisational policies and procedures are complied with to ensure that plans and objectives are met and productivity is not disrupted.

Accepted Answer

Compliance with organisational policies and procedures is necessary for ensuring that the goals and objectives of the organisation are achieved smoothly and productivity is not hampered. Compliance with organisational policies and procedures is necessary for smooth functioning, achievement of goals and overall productivity. Disregarding them can result in chaos, conflict and poor performance.

Question 3

Business resources are all the:&#10;A) stationery items you use within the office to perform administrative tasks&#10;B) things everyone needs to ensure they are able to open a business&#10;C) things you need to conduct business and perform work tasks&#10;D) equipment needed to complete internal tasks

Accepted Answer

Business resources are the things you need to conduct business and perform work tasks. This includes not only equipment and tools but also information, people, and financial resources. Stationery items and equipment for internal tasks are just subsets of this larger category. Choice B is incorrect because not everyone needs the same resources to open a business, as requirements will vary depending on the industry and type of business. Business resources are the things necessary for conducting business and performing work tasks, including equipment, supplies, and technology. Stationery items (A) and equipment for internal tasks (D) are subsets of business resources, while (B) is too vague and non-specific.

Question 4

When monitoring and using resources as part of your role, you might need to adhere to policies regarding:&#10;A) sustainability practices, suppliers and scheduling resource usage&#10;B) staff rosters, places to visit and transport/travel&#10;C) sustainability practices, types of food to eat and WHS requirements&#10;D) staff rosters, access to competitor's items and transport/travel

Accepted Answer

Option A is the most relevant choice as it addresses sustainability practices, suppliers and scheduling resource usage, which are key policies to consider when monitoring and using resources. Option B and D are not directly related to resource usage and Option C only addresses sustainability practices and food, but does not cover all potential policies that might need to be adhered to. Sustainability practices, suppliers, and scheduling resource usage are directly related to managing and monitoring resources effectively. This ensures that resources are used efficiently and sustainably, which is important for the long-term success of an organization. The other options, such as staff rosters and types of food to eat, are important considerations but they are not directly related to the role of monitoring and using resources. Access to competitor's items is not a relevant consideration in this context.

Question 8

You will need to manage resources to ensure that you always:&#10;A) provide good facilities for colleagues to have breaks&#10;B) have the necessary items available and the costs of providing them are monitored&#10;C) provide the correct resources regardless of cost&#10;D) have the correct suppliers ready to send what is needed as it is required

Accepted Answer

Managing resources involves keeping track of the necessary items and monitoring their costs. Providing good facilities for breaks and ensuring the correct resources are available regardless of cost may not be feasible, whereas having the correct suppliers ready to send what is needed as it is required may be too costly. Therefore, option B is the best choice. It is important to have the necessary items available for colleagues and to monitor the costs of providing them to ensure efficient use of resources. Providing good facilities for breaks and correct resources regardless of cost may not always be necessary or practical. Having the correct suppliers ready is also important, but not the only consideration for effective resource management.

Question 9

Monitoring the use of resources will help you to know not only what but when to order resources, and will also ensure that you have been able to order extra for yourself.

Accepted Answer

Monitoring the use of resources primarily helps in understanding what and when to order resources based on usage patterns and needs, but it does not inherently ensure that extra resources are ordered for personal use, as that would depend on specific decisions made during the ordering process.

Question 10

An important thing to remember is there are others within the organisation who can help you determine what resources are needed.

Accepted Answer

It is important to reach out to colleagues and other members of the organization to determine what resources are needed to complete tasks or projects. Collaboration and communication can help ensure that all necessary resources are identified and utilized effectively. It is important to seek help and guidance from colleagues and other resources within the organization to determine the resources needed for a project or task.
