45. Like most large Australian hospitals, the Royal Melbourne Hosptal spends an enormous amount on patient supplies, over $45 million annually. The hospital has more than 15 000 individual products that are purchased on a routine basis. One of the challenges for its purchasing department was that the various hospital departments used different product descriptions and classifications for the same item. Its purchasing manager instituted a hospital-wide purchasing policy that gave a specific code to each individual item. In other words, the purchasing manager engaged in: O a. consistency planning Ob, organisational autonomy O c. standardisation od, Oe, problem empowerment procedural planning

Explanation / Answer

Accordingly, they are following Standardisation in the procurement of supplies. Because in doing so, a particular standard means that every time they have to enter the code or any symbol associated with supply gives exact picture or detail about that product.

So standardization is the best example.
