Procurement Planning Tools & Techniques

Make-or-buy Analysis : to determine whether an organization should make or perform a particular product or service inside the organization or buy from someone else. Experts : Both internal and external, can provide Valuable inputs in procurement decisions.

Make-or-Buy Example:
Assume you can lease an item you need for a project for $150/day. To purchase the item, the cost is $1,000 plus a daily operational cost of $50/day. How long will it take for the purchase cost to be the same as the lease cost? If you need the item for 12 days, should you lease it or purchase it?

Make-or Buy Solution:

Set up an equation so the make is equal to the buy In this example, use the following equation. Let d be the number of days to use the item. $150d = $1,000 + $50d

Solve for d as follows: Subtract $50d from the right side of the equation to get $100d = $1,000

Divide both sides of the equation by $100 d = 10 days The lease cost is the same as the purchase cost at 10 days If you need the item for 12 days, it would be more economical to purchase it

Expert judgment

Expert judgment will often be required to assess the inputs to this process. Such expertise may be provided by any group or individual with specialized knowledge or training and is available from many sources including: Other units within the performing organization. Consultants. Professional and technical associations. Industry groups

Contract type selection

Different types of contracts are more or less appropriate for different types of purchases. Contracts generally fall into one of three broad categories: Fixed price or lump sum contracts : involves a fixed total price for a welldefined product.

Cost reimbursable contracts : involves payment (reimbursement) to the seller for its actual costs. Time and material Contracts : Hybrid of both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable contracts. Unit-pricing Contracts : Require the buyer to pay the supplier a predetermined amount per unit of product.

Cost reimbursable contracts

With a cost plus incentive fee (CPIF) contract the buyer pays the supplier for allowable performance cost along with a predetermined fee and an incentive bonus. With a cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) contract the buyer pays the supplier for the allowable performance cost plus a fixed fee payment usually based on a percentage of estimated costs.

With a cost plus percentage of costs(CPPC) contract the buyer pays the supplier for allowable performance costs along with a predetermined percentage based on the total costs. Contract Types Versus Risk
