Implement strategic and integrated supply chain management and sourcing partnerships
Overview
This standard is about implementing strategic and integrated supply chain management and sourcing partnerships. It is about selecting criteria to evaluate the benefits of strategic sourcing, specifying and agreeing how the supply chain and systems will be managed and aligned and monitoring the performance of the supply chain in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction contracting operations management and can be used by operatives, supervisors and managers
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
Evaluate and agree the benefits and risks of strategic sourcing P1 select relevant criteria to use in making evaluations and decisions P2 evaluate the effect of strategic sourcing, compare the evaluation with existing arrangements and assess the advantages and disadvantages P3 evaluate the impact of changing to new suppliers P4 recommend changes using evidence of evaluation and the strategic implications on the supply of resources P5 negotiate and agree recommendations with decision makers and relevant stakeholders Agree and implement alignment of systems P6 specify and agree with the supply chain the ways in which systems will be established and aligned P7 identify and agree with relevant stakeholders, the changes required to current systems to meet technical and quality requirements P8 devise and carry out appropriate trials, review the results and make appropriate modifications prior to full implementation P9 check that the alignment of systems conforms to the requirements of current data protection legislations
P10 negotiate and agree formal contractual arrangements that set out the requirements for the implementation and operation of strategic sourcing partnerships in a manner that promotes goodwill and trust
Monitor and control supply chain arrangements
P11 review the terms of the contract periodically, and assess whether there are continued mutual benefits to the supply of resources
P12 monitor the performance of the supply chain against the requirements of the contract and quantify any variations in performance P13 inform the supply chain about variations in performance from contract terms, negotiate and agree the changes needed and the time allowed to make those changes P14 keep relevant stakeholders informed on the performance of supply chain arrangements P15 periodically review the existing sourcing arrangements to ensure the mutual benefits of the existing arrangements are maintained
