HOW TO DO IT

The key document to read is the Material Planning Considerations (see below). This is useful guidance to allow you to focus on the issues that will have a real impact and must be considered during the planning process. Feel free to add any additional personal views and particular points you wish to make, but ideally the main thrust of your argument should be tied to one of these key issues.
