施

shī

(bound form) to put into effect (regulations etc)

surname Shi; to distribute (alms etc); to apply (fertilizer etc)

method (方) + sound-carrier (㐌) = put into effect

方 contributes the sense of direction or method — a plan put into action. 㐌 is a rare component that primarily lends the shī sound here; the semantic weight falls on 方.
