Module 6 Discussion, Option #1
Your procurement team is planning to buy low light, network
surveillance cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs) for the Genesis System
Upgrade project. You must choose between using existing equipment from your
internal inventory (several cameras older than five years) to create the
network on your own and purchasing new equipment as a bundle from an outside
supplier or set of suppliers. Use the Internet to determine a beginning
supplier list to answer the following:
• What
should go into the make-or-buy analysis?
• What are
your seller selection criteria?
• Using
cost benefit analysis, what are the pros and cons of sole source procurement
versus competitive selection?
• Does the
PMBOK® Guide provide guidance on make-or-buy analysis? If so, share at least
one insight.
