Project Procurement Management by Quentin W. Fleming Pdf
Not all project procurements are the same. Unless the project carefully makes an assessment of the items it will make, versus the items it will buy, and then adequately plans for these purchases, the risks of performance will increase. Project procurements are simply sub-projects, which need to be managed well, not blindly delegated to an independent organization to buy for the project. Certain procurements, major complexity developments, creating something new, which does not exist, according to the project's unique specification, must be managed by the project team, and supported by the professional procurement organization. The project's team leader must assume the management responsibility. This book zeroes in on the effective management of that portion of the project which will be performed by another organization. It focuses on the procurement of scope from an organization outside of the project. Often, the success or failure of a project is dependent on how well the project can plan, define, solicit, authorize and manage this external relationship. This book has been updated to be consistent with Chapter 12 of the Fourth Edition of the PMBOK ® Guide, released by PMI in December 2008.

Lean Demand-Driven Procurement by Paul Myerson Pdf
While there are many books written on the basics of the "supply" side of the supply chain (i.e. strategic sourcing, sourcing/procurement, and purchasing), there hasn’t been much written on those areas from a Lean perspective. Considering that supply chain costs, primarily procurement and transportation, can range from 50 to 70% of sales, it's surprising that this area has not been fully explored. As a result, some companies tend to place too much emphasis on the traditional focus of reducing material costs instead of process improvement. Lean Demand-Driven Procurement: How to Apply Lean Thinking to Your Supply Management Process details the basic supply management concepts and processes (i.e. sourcing, procurement, and purchasing) in an easy-to-understand format in combination with various process improvement tools, methodologies, best practices, examples, and cases written from a Lean perspective. It focuses and pinpoints ways to identify waste on the supply side through improved processes and, in some cases, technology. Applying Lean principles to procurement and purchasing processes identies non-traditional sources of waste, and in some cases, creates a paradigm shift that results in additional benets to the entire supply chain.
Public procurement has emerged in recent years, as a complex function that utilizes a great amount of public fund. Undeniably, public procurement has become a multifaceted system that consists of procurement laws and regulations, procurement processes (from approvals, appropriations, invitation to bid, bidding process, to contract award, and contract administration, etc.), Procurement methods (from open competitive bidding, pre-qualification to alternate methods of procurement etc.), procurement techniques (life-cycle costing, evaluation, negotiations, etc.), procurement organizational structure (procuring agencies, user departments), procurement professionalism (procurement offices and workforce).The public procurement function becomes further intricate when public procurement, becomes a policy tool due to the size of its spending. The policy makers use this tool to address community issues, environment protection (green procurement) and economic development (including local preferences). These policy apprehensions have made procurement practices thornier. Constantly changing global environment has further convoluted public procurement as procurement officers have to comply with international trade agreements along with national procurement legal framework.Consequently, there was a dire need of a textbook on procurement management to enhance the skills of procurement professionals and to update them with the advanced practices in procurement arena. This need, I presume, has been fulfilled to a great extent by publication of the two volumes of "Procurement Management".The second volume of "Procurement Management" covers the practical aspects of procurement practices. A number of chapters elucidate eloquently, varied areas of procurement management, which in consequence, will help to clear the concepts of procurement professionals.The decision of selection of a procurement method is often regarded as the key decision in the procurement planning process and is one of the mandatory requirement in the annual procurement plan.There are many methods which can be adopted and certain circumstances are particularly appropriate to each procurement method for procurement of goods, services and works. The precise selection of procurement method at the beginning of the procurement activity is therefore a significant aspect in the success of the procurement process as incorrect choice of procurement method may have an adverse effect on the bidding process.
