Resource Life Cycle Analysis •  Products are resources from customer perspec4ve •  Four stages of resources management •  Requirements –  Establish quan4ty requirements and specify aIributes •  Acquisi4on –  Select sources of purchase, order resources, authorize and pay for resources, acquire resources, and test resources against specifica4on •  Stewardship –  Integrate resources with exis4ng inventory, monitor access and use of resources, upgrade resources if necessary, maintain resources if necessary •  Re4rement –  Transfer or dispose of resources and account for expenditure on resources Comparison of Techniques Technique
