As an example if you choose a manufacturing company your key best practices areas might include contract negotiation material pricing inbound logistics outbound logistics purchasing and requisition inventory control production control and/or finished goods inventory to name a few. Your objective is to choose several key results areas that a critical to the type of company that you choose evaluate and implement several best practices withineach key results area. By now you should know that service retail and manufacturing all have differing key results areas. Even though some key results areas may be the same the best practices may differ between industries companies and departments. You are required to integrate Core Value of responsible stewardship into your Best Practices Portfolio. Since you are dealing with raw materials human resources and capital resources the responsible stewardship Core Value will easily mesh with any set of best practices. Lastly your Best Practices Portfolio must contain some sound conclusions and/or recommendations based on your research about best practices.
