CIPS Scope and Influence of Procurement and Supply 認定 L4M1 試験問題 (Q13-Q18):質問 # 13
Describe 3 stages of the sourcing cycle that occur in the post-contract award stage (25 marks)
正解：
解説：
See the solution inExplanation partbelow.
Explanation:
How to approach the question
Your answer should provide details on 3 of the following:
- Contract Award and Implementation
- Warehouse Logistics
- Contract performance and Improvement
- Supplier Relationship Management
- Asset Management
Because the question is only asking for 3 stages, you're going to have to go much more into detail for each stage, giving lots of information about why each stage is important and examples. You could consider thinking of an example procurement you have done recently and explaining the stages for that. Or you could take a hypothetical procurement too. Either will get you the same marks. Pick the three that you can write the most about.
Essay Plan
Introduction - explain that sourcing of goods and the role of Procurement doesn't end once a contract is signed. There is ongoing management and processes which must be carried out to ensure success.
Paragraph 1 - Contract Performance and Improvement
  This is about ensuring contract obligations are fulfilled. Contract administration includes P2P procedures, database management, budgeting / costs monitoring, reporting and dispute resolution
  Procurement's role may be in managing contract performance through the use of SLAs and / or KPIs. This can be done via reporting, using a Supplier Scorecard and meeting regularly to discuss.
  It's important KPIs are measured and that there are consequences for failing to meet them. An example of consequences could be using a Performance Improvement Plan.
  Contract Management also includes updating the contract where required - e.g. issuing variations to contract and updating the change control log
  Another important aspect of this is ensuring the costs remain within scope of the budget
  Contract performance can be compared if you have several suppliers delivering the same goods- could use a Factor Rating Method.
  Performance could be measured against several criteria such as on time deliveries, response time of supplier, number of complaints.
Paragraph 2 - Supplier Relationship Management
  There is a difference between managing the contract and managing the supplier relationship. It's possible to have excellent contract performance and a terrible relationship. However, the two are generally linked- where there is a good relationship, the contract often performs well.
  The supplier management approach depends on where the relationship falls on the relationship spectrum (e.g.
transactional or collaborative)
  This involves; maintaining regular contact with the supplier, motivating the supplier, working collaboratively with them (e.g. on performance issues or resolving any disputes)
  Incentivising the supplier leads to collaboration and mutual support
  To assess or rank suppliers you could use a vendor rating method or supplier evaluation forms
  Supplier relationship management may involve investing in the supplier- e.g. through training or technology sharing Paragraph 3 - Asset Management
  Includes creating a post contract 'lessons-learned'
  Assessments should be carried out to determine if business requirements have changed, whether the agreement is still required and fit for purpose, what can be learnt from the process and how improvements can be incorporated next time.
  This is the final stage of the Procurement Cycle and takes us back to the start of cycle, which begins again when the item needs to be reprocured
  Whole life costing should be considered at this stage: this is the total cost of ownership over the life of an asset. The concept is also known as life-cycle cost (LCC) or lifetime cost, and is commonly referred to as
"cradle to grave" or "womb to tomb" costs.
  Generally used on large purchases such as machinery and vehicles. Full Asset Management may not necessary for direct cost items such as raw materials incorporated into final goods.
  Considerations may include; costs of running the asset, how long it will perform, insurance, maintenance, opportunity costs, disposing of the asset.
  Also consider environmental and social impacts of the procurement.
Conclusion - it is important that procurement are involved at every stage of the cycle, not just in the pre-award stages. Procurement can add value at every stage.
Tutor Notes
- Depending on the examples you choose to use, you could talk about how the type of item procured could impact on the different stages. For example, high risk purchases may require more contract management than low risk purchases, and capital expenditure items such as new machinery may require more attention to the Asset Management stage.
- You could also think about how procurement adds value at each of the stages.

質問 # 14
Describe the main differences between a traditional procurement approach and supply chain management approach to buying (25 points)
正解：
解説：
See the solution inExplanation partbelow.
Explanation:
- The question is asking you to explain the following:
- With this type of question you would be expected to discuss 3- 5 differences, giving examples.
Example Essay Structure
Introduction - explain what is meant by 'procurement' and 'SCM' - procurement is the traditional way and is to do with purchasing goods, SCM is the new way which is a more multifaceted way of securing goods and is the result of longer, more complex and more globalised supply chains.
Paragraph 1 - the objectives of each approach (5 Rights vs added value) Paragraph 2 - the approach (reactive buying vs proactive ordering) Paragraph 3 - the way of working (silo working vs cross-functional working) Paragraph 4 - the relationships with suppliers (transactional vs collaborative) Conclusion - There are many differences between the two approaches, and different companies may favour one over the other depending on their specific circumstances. E.g. small organisations that make low value and low risk purchases may take a traditional procurement approach and large multi-national organisations may require a SRM approach due to the volume of suppliers and com-plexities of the supply chains.
Example essay:
Procurement and Supply Chain Management (SCM) represent two distinct approaches to acquiring goods, reflecting the evolution of purchasing practices. Procurement, the traditional method, in-volves the straightforward purchase of goods. In contrast, SCM is a more intricate approach, born out of longer, more complex, and globalized supply chains. This essay explores the main differences between these two approaches, highlighting their objectives, methods, ways of working, and suppli-er relationships.
In the traditional procurement approach, the focus is on achieving the "5 Rights" - getting the right goods, in the right quantity, at the right quality, for the right price, and at the right time. This en-sures efficiency in the purchasing process. On the other hand, SCM goes beyond these basic objec-tives, aiming to add value to the entire supply chain. This might involve developing strategic rela-tionships with suppliers, ensuring sustainability, and aligning with broader organizational goals. For example, a company employing a traditional procurement approach might emphasize getting the lowest price, while an SCM approach could involve working with suppliers to enhance product in-novation or reduce environmental impact.
Secondly, the traditional procurement approach is often reactive, responding to immediate needs or demands. Companies using this method typically make purchases as required, without a long-term strategy. In contrast, SCM involves proactive ordering, anticipating future needs and trends. For instance, a company employing SCM might engage in demand forecasting, allowing for better plan-ning and inventory management. This proactive approach helps prevent stockouts, reduce costs, and enhance overall supply chain efficiency.
Moreover, traditional procurement often involves silo working, where different departments operate independently. The procurement team may not collaborate closely with other departments like pro-duction or marketing. In SCM, there's an emphasis on cross-functional working, breaking down de-partmental barriers for a more integrated approach. For example, an SCM team might work closely with production to ensure materials are aligned with manufacturing schedules, fostering efficiency and minimizing disruptions.
Lastly, in traditional procurement, the relationship with suppliers is transactional - focused solely on the exchange of goods for money. Conversely, SCM promotes collaborative relationships, emphasiz-ing long-term partnerships. A company using SCM might work closely with suppliers to improve processes, share information, and jointly address challenges. For instance, an SCM approach might involve collaborating with suppliers to implement just-in-time inventory systems, leading to cost savings and improved responsiveness.
In conclusion, the differences between traditional procurement and SCM are substantial and nu-anced.
While a traditional procurement approach may suit smaller organizations with low-value and low-risk purchases, larger multinational companies with complex supply chains often find SCM more suitable.
Understanding these differences allows companies to tailor their approach based on their unique circumstances, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and strategic alignment with organizational goals in the ever-evolving landscape of buying and supply chain management.
Tutor Notes
- This question is taken from learning outcome 1.1.1 (p2 onwards). The new study guide has drasti-cally simplified the information on this topic compared to the old syllabus (the table above comes from the old syllabus). This may be good news for students in that you don't need to know as much, but I do wonder if the study guide gives students enough 'content' to write an essay on the subject.
- If a question is to come up from LO 1.1 it would be likely be something like: definitions and dif-ferences between procurement and SCM, difference between a supply chain and a supply network, elements of SCM, or how to add value in the supply chain.

質問 # 15
Explain FIVE differences between capital expenditure and operational expenditure categories of spend for an organisation.
(25 marks)
正解：
解説：
See the solution in Explanation part below.
Explanation:
When discussing capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) in the context of procurement and supply, it is essential to understand how they impact an organization's financial planning, decision-making, and procurement strategy. Below are five key differences between CapEx and OpEx:
1. Definition and Nature of Spend
* Capital Expenditure (CapEx): Refers to investments made by a company to acquire, upgrade, or maintain physical assets such as property, machinery, or equipment. These are typically large, one-time purchases that provide long-term benefits.
* Operational Expenditure (OpEx): Involves day-to-day expenses required to run the business, such as salaries, rent, utilities, and consumables. These costs are necessary for ongoing operations.
2. Accounting Treatment
* CapEx: Considered a long-term investment, it is capitalized and recorded as an asset on the balance sheet. Depreciation or amortization is applied over the useful life of the asset.
* OpEx: Fully expensed in the profit and loss statement in the accounting period in which it is incurred.
It directly impacts the organization's profitability in the short term.
3. Budgeting and Approval Process
* CapEx: Requires substantial financial planning, detailed justification, and approval from senior management due to its high-cost implications. It often involves long-term financial commitment.
* OpEx: Generally included in the organization's operating budget and does not require extensive approval processes, as it consists of routine expenses necessary for daily business functions.
4. Impact on Cash Flow and Financial Planning
* CapEx: Affects cash flow significantly as it requires large upfront payments. Organizations often finance CapEx through loans, leasing, or long-term financial strategies.
* OpEx: Represents smaller, recurring costs that are easier to manage and predict within the financial year, allowing for more flexibility in cash flow management.
5. Examples of Procurement and Supply Considerations
* CapEx Examples: Purchasing manufacturing equipment, acquiring new office buildings, upgrading IT infrastructure (e.g., servers, data centers).
* OpEx Examples: Office supplies, utility bills, employee salaries, maintenance and repair costs, software subscriptions.
Conclusion
Understanding the distinction between capital expenditure and operational expenditure is essential for procurement and supply professionals to make informed financial decisions, align with corporate strategy, and ensure efficient resource allocation. Procurement teams must consider factors such as cost-benefit analysis, funding sources, and long-term value when determining the best approach for an organization's spending strategy.

質問 # 16
What is meant by Stakeholder Mapping? Describe a tool that can be used by a Procurement Professional to map the stakeholders at their organisation (25 points)
正解：
解説：
See the solution inExplanation partbelow.
Explanation:
How to approach this question:
- Define stakeholder mapping - completing an analysis of the stakeholders of an organisation and dividing them into categories depending on certain characteristics. This is often represented visually on a graph or matrix.
- Describe a Stakeholder mapping tool - the most common tool is Mendelow's Stakeholder Matrix so I would recommend using this one. It is explained in detail in the study guide. However, the question is open so you could choose to describe another tool such as Edgar's Stakeholder Position Analysis if you so wished. You wouldn't be wrong choosing this, but honestly, I'd just go for Mendelow. You can't go wrong with Mendelow.
Because the Matrix has 4 sections you can imagine you'd get 5 points for the definition of stakeholder mapping, and 5 points for each of the quadrants of the matrix.
Essay Plan:
Introduction - The reason why stakeholder mapping is important is because interests and expectations of stakeholder groups will be different and possibly conflicting. Mapping this allows an organisation to see the variety and decide on an appropriate management style for each stakeholder group.
Paragraph 1 - Mendelow's Power / Interest Matrix maps stakeholders based on their influencing power and the strength of their motivation to use that power. It uses a 2x2 grid and defines power as high or low and interest and high or low. It then provides four strategies for managing the stakeholders based on which quadrant of the grid the stakeholder falls into. These 4 categories are:
Paragraph 2 - Keep satisfied - high power but low interest. If the stakeholder becomes dissatisfied or concerned their interest may peak. Examples include regulatory bodies, shareholders, senior management. The best approach is to keep them up to date so they are informed of what is going on, but do not burden them with information they do not need.
Paragraph 3 - Manage Closely - AKA Key players - includes major customers, key suppliers, partners, senior management. These stakeholders need to know everything that is going on and approve of what is going on.
The recommended strategy is early involvement and participation, and integrating their goals with yours. This group requires regular communication and meetings. You should take their opinions on board.
Paragraph 4- Monitor - minimum effort required - this is the low priority group as they have low power and low interest. Includes small volume suppliers and other organisational functions with no direct interest in your activities. This group does not need to receive regular communication.
Paragraph 5 - Keep informed - high interest, but low power. If they're not kept in the loop and understand the need for decisions, they may lobby together to protect their interest if they feel threatened. Employee groups, suppliers and community groups may be in this category. This group should receive regular communication.
Conclusion - Mendelow created the matrix in 1991 and it is still used today. It is a popular management tool due to its simplicity. It's important to notes that stakeholders can move through the matrix- it isn't stagnant.
For example, at the beginning of a project a manager in another department may be classed as 'low priority' because they are seen to have no interest and no power in the project. However, as the project progresses the manager may become interested. They will then transfer into the keep informed category. Therefore, the matrix should be redone regularly throughout the lifetime of a project to capture any movements. The matrix should also be redone for each individual project - it cannot be assumed that a stakeholder who had interest in one project would be interested in another.
Tutor Notes
- The above essay plan is basically the entire essay, I got carried away. The only thing you'd need to add into that is an example of a stakeholder for each of the sections! (e.g. the CEO is high power, but low interest stakeholder for the procurement department. He/ She doesn't care about the day to day operations but should be kept informed of any big news). For your examples you could use your own place of work.
- At level 4 you don't have to analyse the model, you just have to be able to memorise it and repeat it.
Mendelow comes up again at Level 5 and 6 in a bit more detail. If you want to score super bonus points you could mention in your conclusion that the main disadvantage of Mendelow's Matrix is that it doesn't take into consideration the stakeholder's position on the project - whether they're for it or against it. Therefore, it doesn't provide the full picture or provide much help on how to manage stakeholders. E.g. two stakeholders might both be in 'manage closely' section, but one is for the project and the other against - they'd need to be handled very differently!

質問 # 17
What is meant by the 'Third Sector'? Describe the sector (10 points) and explain the main objectives of organisations who operate in this sector (15 points).
正解：
解説：
See the solution in Explanation part below.
Explanation:
How to approach this question
- Description of the 'third sector' - the part of an economy comprising non-governmental and non-profit- making organisations including charities, voluntary and community groups, and cooperatives. These organisations reinvest surplus profits back into the enterprise to further their objectives. This is worth 10 points so should be a good 2-3 paragraphs, with examples.
- Main objectives - these could include engaging with stakeholders, social or environmental aims, education, providing a service to the community, stewardship role. There's more points for this question so you should have more content here.
Example Essay
The 'Third Sector' refers to a segment of the economy distinct from the public (government) sector and the private (for-profit) sector. It encompasses a diverse range of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), charities, foundations, social enterprises, cooperatives, and other non-profit entities. These organizations are primarily driven by social, environmental, cultural, or community objectives rather than the pursuit of profit.
They often operate based on values such as democracy, equality, and social justice. The Third Sector plays a crucial role in providing services, advocating for social causes, and filling gaps left by the public and private sectors.
The third sector is often called the 'not-for profit' sector. It's distinguished from the private sector in that the main aim isn't to make money for money's sake. The main aim is to generate money to reinvest back into the organisation so that the organisation can achieve the purpose it was set up for. Whereas the private sector may exist solely to make money, the third sector has a 'higher aim'.
Organisations operate in a very narrow marketplace. They may be the only provider in that marketplace. For example the RNLI is the only operator of lifeboats and the only organisation that sets out to save lives at sea- there is no 'competitor'.
3rd Sector Organisations have multiple sources of income; e.g. subscriptions or donations, or from donated goods that they then sell on (such as Oxfam shops), fundraising activities or selling merchandise. The sector also has a wide range of stakeholders.
The third sector is subject to same regulations as private and public companies but also has its own regulations imposed by the Charities Commission. This is a statutory regulation body which checks charities are run for public benefit and not private advantage, ensures charities are independent, and sets out to remedy serious mismanagement. They can audit, offer advice and investigate complaints. Therefore the sector is highly regulated.
Organisations in this sector have a huge range of objectives depending on why they were set up. These can be very specific, for example: charities such as Cancer Research (objective- find a cure for cancer), Museums (objective- educate the public), CIPS (objective - provide professional services to a particular industry), trade unions (objective- defend the rights of workers), pressure groups (objective- change laws and practices they morally disagree with).
However organisations in this sector do have overarching objectives in common.
1. Survival - Generating Enough Money to Continue Operations: Survival is a fundamental objective for Third Sector organizations. Unlike for-profit entities, these organizations do not aim to generate profits for shareholders but need sufficient funding to sustain their operations. This funding often comes from donations, grants, fundraising activities, and sometimes income from services provided. The challenge lies in balancing the mission with the need for financial stability, ensuring that the organization can continue to serve its community and pursue its goals over the long term. Financial sustainability is crucial, particularly in a sector where funding sources can be uncertain and competition for donations is high.
2. Creating Awareness of Their Cause: Raising awareness is vital for Third Sector organizations, as it helps to educate the public, garner support, attract volunteers, and drive fundraising efforts. Awareness campaigns are essential in highlighting the issues these organizations address, whether it's health, environmental conservation, social justice, or cultural preservation. Effective communication strategies, including the use of social media, public events, and collaborations, are employed to reach a wider audience. The more people know about a cause, the more likely they are to support it, either through donations, volunteering, or advocacy.
3. Compliance with Regulations and the Charities Commission: Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements is a critical objective. In many countries, including the UK, Third Sector organizations are regulated by bodies like the Charities Commission. These organizations must adhere to specific legal standards, including financial transparency, governance practices, and ethical guidelines. Compliance ensures credibility and trustworthiness, which are essential for maintaining public confidence and the continued support of donors and volunteers. It also ensures that the organization operates within the law, avoiding legal issues that could jeopardize its mission.
4. Providing a Service to the Community: The core of a Third Sector organization's mission is to provide services or benefits to the community. These organizations often address needs that are unmet by the private or public sectors, focusing on improving the quality of life for certain populations or addressing specific societal issues. This objective can take many forms, from offering direct services like healthcare and education to advocating for policy changes that benefit underserved communities. The impact of these services on the community can be profound, often bringing about significant social change.
5. Fulfilling a 'Gap in the Market': Many Third Sector organizations exist to fill gaps in services not provided by the public or private sectors. A classic example is the provision of air ambulance services in the UK. While the government provides comprehensive healthcare services, there's a gap in the rapid transportation of critically ill patients, which is filled bycharities operating air ambulances. These organizations identify specific needs that are not adequately addressed and work to meet them, often innovating in the process. By fulfilling these gaps, they play a crucial role in complementing existing services and enhancing the overall welfare of society.
In conclusion, Third Sector organizations operate with a unique set of objectives that distinguish them from other sectors. Their focus on survival, awareness-raising, compliance, community service, and filling market gaps is essential not only for their existence but also for the significant societal impact they make. These objectives align with the overarching mission of the Third Sector to contribute positively to society, addressing needs and issues often overlooked by other sectors.
Tutor Notes:
- A strong essay will use real life examples of organisations in the third sector and their objectives. I've mentioned a couple above such as Cancer Research UK: Our strategy to beat cancer | Cancer Research UK and North West Air Ambulance Charity: Home | North West Air Ambulance Charity (nwairambulance.org.
uk) but pick charities you know well.
