Model for Resource Allocation in the Public Sector Based on Strategic Importance and Quality

Abstract

Today's competitive environment confronts employees with constant pressure to reduce costs and optimize the use of resources. In this regard, this paper aims to present a model of resource allocation, based on the satisfaction of user requirements from the aspect of priority importance and quality assessment. The methodology includes defining the requirements for specific resources, assessing their availability, ranking using matrices of strategic significance and quality, applying individual and group ranking techniques, and reaching a consensus in the process of making an optimal solution. The writers present the advanced model and its implementation in one military unit, which makes this research specific. The proposed model can facilitate planning, reduce organizational response time, improve performance, increase quality, and reduce costs. The results also indicate the strategic significance of various functions in the field of logistics, when quick planning is necessary. The presented model can be used in sectors that face multiple similar problems in a very vigorous surrounding. It is based on the approach of allocating resources in conditions of insufficient capacity, overcoming the lack of material resources, but also concerning the reduction of strain on human resources, time consumption, and cost reduction.
