Part A. Case Study.
APC SUPERSTORE
1. Paper use:
There are 25 staff in the APCSUPERSTORE office, each use 150 pages of copy paper per week.
25 X 150 = 3 750, this is the consummation per week for all the office.
3 750 X 4 =15 000, so the office needs 15 000 page of copy paper per month.
For the month of April 2010, AOCSUPERSTORE ordered 4 boxes of paper; each box contains 5000 pages of paper.
4 X 5000 = 20 000, this the number of paper odered for the month of April 2010.
Actually, the APCSUPERSTORE office needs only 3 boxes per month,
3 X 5000 = 15 000, is the exact consummation per month for the office.
So we can order , 1 box every week like that , there is one box wich is here just in case.
2. Procedures and Guidelines :
The office should use a reporting system, like software such as MYOB, like that the organisation can keep records on the business resource and their usage.
So first, order 1 box per week, enter the purchase in the reporting stock. Like that we can keep an eye on the different order and the consummation of paper.
If the employee follow the different suggestions for a better eco-responsibility, we could after a few week, order less boxes of paper.
3. Different suggestions for a better eco-responsibility :
Assess the suitability before printing document
Think about the real need before print every single document.
Use the different option on Word
Like that if you need to revise a document you don’t need to print it to annotate it, you can simply use the different option in Word like follow the modification or comment in the menu tools.
Scan documents.
When it’s possible, it’s better to use the multifunction’s device,
Use the double sided when it’s possible
Like that you reduce by 50 % the printing.
Print the right number of paper.
Only print the required number of paper, like that you avoid waste.
