We can divide the resource allocation into 3 levels –

Level 1 – Organisation needs High level of inventory management

Level 2 – Medium level of inventory management

Level 3- Low level of inventory management

1. Ardon’s Wafer – Level 3 (large regular orders with predictable requirements)

2. Butler Ices – Level 1 (require unique packaging, inventory control not well developed, stock

3. Cahill’s Cones – Level 3 (pays on time, best inventory control, no special packaging)
4. Donleavy’s Ices- Level 1 (pays late, daily deliveries)
5. England Wedges- Level 2 (bulk orders, infrequent, minimal discounts)
6. Frankston Chocs –
