D27 Organise, monitor, maintain and improve supplies of materials to meet project requirements
D27.1 Identify and monitor requirements for materials supply
Performance Criteria - this involves being able to...(a)analyse operational plans, user feedback and quantities, and assess what materials supplies will be required and calculate schedules for the delivery of supplies and lead times
(b)develop an accurate purchasing plan by analysing design information and projected supply requirements
(c)identify what opportunities there are for standardising materials supplies to economise on usage, cost and environmental impact
(d)check from the purchasing plan and users, what materials supplies are needed and prepare orders which meet the supply requirements
(e)develop and introduce systems for monitoring and evaluating the purchasing plan which will identify significant changes in supply requirements
(f)identify any changes which are likely to result in over or under supply and modify the purchasing plan to minimise disruption to the project programme / The Range...

D27.1 Identify and monitor requirements for materials supply
The Evidence - performance and processProduct Evidence:
(1)Purchasing plan(s) which have been developed which include analyses of operational plans, user feedback and quantities, assessments of material and supply requirements, schedules for supplies and lead times, analyses of design requirements (a,b) [all]
(2)Record(s) of identified opportunities for standardising materials and supplies (b) [2]
(3)Order(s) for materials and supplies (d) [1,2,4]
(4)System(s) for monitoring and evaluating the purchasing plan which have been developed and introduced which include records showing changes to purchasing plans resulting from monitoring activities (e,f) [4]
Process Evidence:
None applicable / The Evidence - knowledge and understanding
(1)How do you check from the purchasing plan and users, what materials supplies are needed? (application) (d) [1,2]
(2)How and why do you analyse operational plans, user feedback and quantities and assess what materials supplies will be required? (analysis) (a) [1]
(3)What opportunities do you identify for standardising materials supplies to economise on usage, cost and environmental impact? (understanding) (c) [2]
(4)How and why do you develop an accurate purchasing plan? (synthesis) (b) [3,4]
(5)What do you identify as changes which are likely to result in over or under supply? (understanding) (f) [4]
(6)How and why do you calculate schedules for the delivery of supplies and lead times? (analysis) (a) [1]
(7)How do you prepare orders which meet the supply requirements? (application) (d) [4]
