So the company is thinking of outsourcing central office stores as a part of their cost reduction programme. Now the company is in the initiation and be after stage of procurement and hold management.The procurement division manager is into the by dint of research and analysis on the solely the external and internal factors to depict whether this outsourcing step would be beneficial for the company in terms of cost, beat schedule, risk, musical note and ethic The case shows that the company still is in the device procurance Phase and has been doing a deep analysis and research from antithetical survey and angle to see whether outsourcing is a good strategy to activate ahead to increase sales and cost reducing mechanism. Plan Procurement Management Plan Procurement Management deals with two phases of procurement management initiating and devisening.

I recommend one of them to work supporting with the contract management and for this descent the disability worker can be trained to perform it. The costs related to the inventory can be reduced by 6%. * All the stores areas will become available for rent or intentional for other operations. Also the management of those stores wont be necessary, saving time to focus on other issues. * Another strong advantage of outsourcing is the delivery time that changes from three to four weeks to less than ten running(a) days. This can also become an advantage among the competitors. * The launch of new items can be time shortened since we dont have all the inventory and distribution tasks anymore. Will not be necessary to plan and create other stores to support our business as long it is growing. The contract will take care of it. These points clarify and justify the outsourcing procurement we should rail and administer. Cost and competitive advantages are the main points indicating our company to go for this project.
