Which of the following is characteristic of an adversarial relationship?
In an adversarial relationship 'the outcome of the deal... is more important than maintaining the relationship over a long-term period' p.7. They can be characterised by poor communication and can be used for one-off purchases but be careful for words in answers such as 'only' and 'always', as these can be misleading; adversarial relationships aren't always for one-off purchases, and communication isn't always poor. The other answer is incorrect (price is more important) because it doesn't describe the relationship, which is what the question asked.
Which of the following are considered 'wastes' which can be removed from a business? Select THREE.
The seven wastes (as defined by Taiichi Ohno) can be remembered as Tim Wood; transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, over-processing, over-production, defects. Some people add an S onto the end of Tim Wood to make Tim Woods (the s is for skills). In some modules of CIPS, they refer to 8 wastes and include skills, but in M6 they've only put the 7 on p.70.
An automotive company has hired Tom as the procurement manager. Tom is to manage a team of two people who have worked in the department for a number of years. Conflict exists between the two members of staff due to an overlap of responsibilities. Which of the following processes would be most appropriate for Tom to use to reduce this conflict?
Arranging a meeting to clarify roles and setting performance targets provides clear expectations and encourages accountability. This aligns with CIPS guidelines on managing conflicts through constructive engagement.
Value for money is often described at the 'three Es'; economy, efficiency and effectiveness. However some people consider a 4th E which refers to the public sector. What is the fourth E?
Equity is the fourth E- this means the extent to which the service is available. See p.65 for details on the 4 Es
Which of the following is a stage in the relationship lifecycle?
The relationship lifecycle typically involves phases such as initiation, development, maturity, and decline. Decline is the final stage where the relationship's effectiveness diminishes, necessitating review or termination. This aligns with CIPS guidelines, which emphasize monitoring and evaluating relationships over time to identify when changes or termination are required.
