resourcing

Assigning needed assets

Resourcing is the process of allocating resources—typically money, personnel, or equipment—to a project or organization.

The term appears frequently in business and management contexts: The project failed due to inadequate resourcing.

It emphasizes the active, ongoing nature of providing what's needed rather than simply having resources available.
