1) Procedures for the Ordering and Supply of Products
Ordering products from suppliers is a necessary activity for every organisation, and they will have a formal process in place for doing this. Following guidelines and procedures will ensure that the organisation operates efficiently and effectively and should eliminate any concern of exhausting all of the supplies.

2) Main Causes of Waste in a Business
It is not possible to eliminate all waste in an organisation, but we can cut it to a minimum by identifying the causes and how we can reduce them.
Waste is defined as anything that does not add value to a product or service, and the following are an example of some of the causes:
• Unnecessary printing or copying – this leads to paper, ink and toner waste. However, we can access recycling services for these items, or we can use electronic files and communication rather than paper.
• Not recycling re-usable items such as paper clips, folders and plastic wallets. We should try and re-use as much of these items as possible.
• Leaving electrical items switched on overnight or lights on when the room is not in use. We can reduce wasted energy by turning off all electrical items when not in use.
• Inefficient use of time management – this can be due to lack of direction from the line manager, and lack of knowledge regarding the work process.
Organisations have a duty to ensure that their staff have an awareness of wastage, and that waste is managed properly by keeping it to a minimum.

Paper products are frequently wasted at home and at work. Discarded newspapers and old grocery bags is one example of wasted paper. The solution to saving paper is easy just take all of your old paper products to a local recycling center. Another piece of thrash that is wasted often is glass. Old pickle jars, mayonnaise jars, and jelly jars are thrown away carelessly in the trash when they can easily be washed and reused or recycled. The last piece of garbage that is frequently wasted is plastic. Plastic is wasted very often in milk cartons, soda bottles, and most other containers. Plastic is probably the most wasted thing that we use. Ether washing or reusing can easily conserve plastic. You can also recycle plastic like the other two things. Wasting of glass, paper, and plastic can be prevented if people would take the time to recycle.

Australia as a whole produces over 18 million tonnes of waste per year, equivalent to three million garbage trucks full of compacted rubbish. This is likely to have resulted from an increase in Australia’s overall population.
