Project Procurement Management

Few projects are carried out entirely by the personnel of a single organization.  Procurement is the process of integrating the efforts of personnel from other organizations in the progress of projects.  This seminar will deal with three approaches to procurement: classical project procurement management, network project procurement management, and mass customization project procurement management.  The seminar objectives are as follows:

 Classical project procurement management

• Learn the six processes of classical project procurement management.
• Understand the application of project procurement to project risk management
• Understand the requirements for forming a valid contract
• Understand contract types and their relationship to risk

   

  Network project procurement management

• Learn the four processes of network project procurement management.
• Understand the role of core competencies and core constraints in building networks
• Understand the structural implementation of networks
• Understand the implementation of risk management in the network

   

  Mass customization project procurement management

• Learn the six competencies of mass customization
• Understand the role an automated supplier interface in mass customization
• Understand the role of process organization in mass customization
• Understand the role of multi-project management in mass customization

  Participants in this seminar should benefit from a wider choice of alternatives working with other organizations to manage their programs and projects and learn to identify the alternative that will provide the greatest possible competitive advantages to their own organization.
