The Basics of Procurement Scheduling and Control

Procurement scheduling and control is a critical, but often overlooked, aspect of procurement. Properly managed, it can help ensure timely and accurate delivery of goods and services while minimizing cost overruns and other procurement-related issues.

Methods of Scheduling and Control

There are many methods of scheduling and control used in procurement. One method is the Critical Path Method (CPM). The CPM is a time management system that helps prioritize tasks and track their completion. It uses a network diagram to identify activities, dependencies, and critical path information.

The Control System Analysis & Design (CSAD) approach is another popular method for managing procurement. This approach uses diagrams to identify how resources are used and how waste can be eliminated. It also identifies linkages between different parts of the supply chain and determines which processes need improvement.

In systems theory, feedback loops are an important part of managing resources. Feedback loops allow operators to know what works and what doesn’t work in order to make adjustments. Operators can use performance data to determine when changes need to be made, or they can change the operating parameters without affecting the system’s performance.

Conclusion

Procurement scheduling and control are essential to ensuring that products are delivered on time, within budget, and in the correct condition. Proper procurement management can help reduce waste and improve the quality of products while reducing overall costs. By following a well-defined procurement process, you can ensure that your organization gets the most out of its resources and delivers high-quality goods to its customers.
