Office Supplies

[Catgirl]

Need help!

I am doing a call center project on "Excessive use of office supplies", and am needing help. I am looking for outside info as to how office supplies are handled in other companies.

I would like to know:

1. Who orders office supplies?

2. Are they handed or passed out to, or are they stocked so that they are accessible to all?

3. What do you consider is "excessive use of supplies"?

4. Any other info regarding "excessive use".

I hope to hear back soon!

1. Office supplies are normally ordered by one of my TL's and the office manager.

2. They are stocked and everybody can pick what he needs.

3. That depends on the business environment and other tools at your disposal. I try to get as many people as possible into paperless deks policies....but since the office supplies are managed by the office manager and her budget.....let's just say, it is not a key priority to me. ;)

4. Excessive use can only be defined when you know more about the total business environment. In mine, I consider everything not used by myself or one of my supervisors, to be excessive, because I believe that all of my CSR's could work 100% paperless.
