You could assign both generic and named resources to a Resource Group to show managment the enitre spectrum of resources needed from a particular area for a project. Project can then provide either a spreadsheet-type view of all resources for the Group, sorted by reesoruce and then either START or FINISH date order – or – provide a Gantt chart view of the Resource Group over a timeline (quarters, months, week, etc. – whatever hihg-level or detail view your management is most interested in seeing).
