A medical consumables buyer has adopted a close relationship approach with their suppliers that are considered to be complicated, technical suppliers. Is this the right approach?
Complex and technical suppliers often involve high financial risks due to the critical nature of their products. A close relationship ensures better collaboration, risk management, and value generation.
Barry is a procurement manager at Sea Biscuits, a company which manufactures biscuits in the shape of dolphins and starfish. He works in an office that orders stationary regularly for its 100 person workforce. Stationary is a low-spend category item and Barry often orders stationary from different suppliers based on which supplier can provide the item the cheapest at that point in time. According to the Kraljic matrix, what type of suppliers provides stationary to Barry?
Stationary is a routine item; it is ordered often (as Barry uses different suppliers), it is a low category spend, and low risk to the business' operations (a late delivery of pens isn't going to stop the company making its biscuits). There are lots of questions on Kraljic in the exam - do revise this topic and ensure you understand each of the four quadrants of the matrix (see p.20)
A local council requires facilities management services for ten schools based in their region. This service is a high-spend, high-risk, critical contract. Which sourcing approach would be the most appropriate?
Competitive tendering is the most suitable approach for high-risk, high-value contracts as it ensures transparency, fairness, and the selection of the most capable supplier based on predefined criteria.
Under which circumstances would a partnership sourcing approach be used?
Partnership sourcing is ideal for high-spend, high-risk situations where collaboration mitigates risks and maximizes value through innovation, efficiency, and trust.
Which of the following are not stages of team development? Select TWO.
This question is very, very similar to a real exam QUESTIO N N O: and is a really mean one. The CIPS study guide describes stages of team development as forming, storming, norming and performing. Of those listed in the book only forming is listed above. What the textbook fails to tell you is that some people add on two additional stages to this model which are mourning and adjourning. I strongly recommend doing some further reading on this (it's called the Tuckman Group Development Model) as it comes up a lot in the exam and the study guide doesn't really go into enough detail.
