1. I learnt the flow of a supply project. The flow starts from the receiving of form from the applicant until the budget for the project is approved.

• if the budget is up to 20K only, the approval can be given by the Branch Manager.
• if the budget is up to 50K, the approval must be given by the Area Manager.
• higher budget must be approved by more important person in TNB thus, it will take longer time than a project with lower budget.
