Part 1.7.2.2: Physical Resources:
The purchase manager would have the authority to purchase the items on behalf of the
operational section of Cameron. While hiring of the staff or third party contractors,.HR manager
would provide backing to the purchase manager.
The purchase manager or the managers involved in taking the suppliers must ensure
adherence of Australian standards. For example, the trucks must clear the Australian Vehicle
Standards Rule 1999 issued by the National Transport Council (Ntc.gov.au. 2018). Similarly,
while acquiring the spare parts, it must must be ensured that the spare parts qualify with the
Group 941 category of maintenance and repair. Similarly, the vehicles should be fitted with
safety devices like cameras and belts. This is important because the transport sector is highly
prone to acdindets and transport companies have to pay immense amount on road driver
