The ORAP Framework stands for Objective, Resource, Allocation, and Performance. It is designed to help organizations efficiently allocate resources to meet their strategic objectives and improve overall performance. The framework guides managers in identifying key objectives, assessing available resources, allocating these resources effectively, and measuring performance outcomes. This structured approach ensures that resource allocation is aligned with business goals, leading to enhanced operational efficiency and effectiveness.
