Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C, resource planning

Explanation:

Organizing is the management process of co-ordinating employees,resources, processes and procedures in an organization in an efficient manner thereby moving closer to achieving the objectives.No doubt resources allocation is part of organizing but organizing encompasses other things.

Bench-marking involves comparing procedures or processes internally or externally in order to establish best practice,hence it is an obvious wrong option in this context.

Resource planning, which is correct option,relates to allocating resources between those areas of the business where they are most required in a way that drives optimal growth and sustainable profitability in the business.

Answer 2

Answer:

C- resource planning

Explanation:

“Resource planning is the act of allocating and utilizing resources (people, machinery, tools, rooms etc) to achieve maximal efficiency of those resources” (Ganttic, 2015). This management function plans the inputs needed for operations and ensures that they are always available for the daily functioning of the organisation and its different units. the resource planning unit would ensure that the required numbers for production and distribution are met.
