    CPMGT 302 Week 4 Procurement Planning Paper

    The key tasks associated with procurement management planning are determining what items need to be procured, finding the suppliers that could satisfy the requirements, bidding process, and the approval process. These tasks must be completed step by step in the workplace. “The key benefit of this process is that it determines whether to acquire outside support, and if so, what to acquire, how to acquire it, how much is needed, and when to acquire it” (Project Management Institute, 2013, p. 1). When dealing with a similar project, a firm can use historical data to compare and determine what needs to be procured for the project. The potential sellers must be properly identified. This can be easy for firms who have already established a good relationship with their previous suppliers and the projects they deal with are almost similar. Then it would be easier to undergo the bidding and supplier selection process. The bidder who can satisfy the needs of the project will be chosen and the signing of contract follows. An…

    Mondavi Procurement Management

    Procurement is the complete process or action of acquiring or obtaining material, property, or services at the operational level, such as purchasing, contracting, and negotiating directly with the source of supply. Procuring goods and services is a larger process than just the label price of wine; the process to buy those items includes major organizational costs, often accounting for half of the product price. When allowing for the vast number of purchases Mondavi makes in a year, it is easy to see how these costs can spiral out of control without careful management.…
