Off the Shelf Bespoke

than develop
• Saves Development Time
• Less no of Errors
identified / high accuracy
• less amount of Testing
needed
• Added maintenance
support
•Maximize user satisfaction
• Modifications can be
done
• ensure confidentiality
•Completely caters to
business functions
•Versions can be released
Disadvantages •Modifications are not
usually possible
• unwanted features may
exist
•Might not cater to all
business functions
•Standards may be
different
•More expensive
•Takes time to develop /
test

provided as a standard
Make – Buy Analysis
Eg : Assume that you can rent a machine for
$800 per day. To purchase the item the cost is
$12000 PLUS a daily operational cost of $400.
Whats the minimum duration the machine
must be used , so that the buying would be
more beneficial than leasing.
Answer
12000 + 400d = C ------- 1
800d = C -------- 2
As 1 = 2
12000 + 400 d = 800 d
d = 12000/400 = 30
The machine should be used for at least 30 days ,
for purchasing to be beneficial.
Solicitation
• Process of finding potential suppliers
Eg :
Advertising procurement notices
RFP notices
Call for tenders / Quotations
2
• Quotation : go for least price
• Proposal : different approaches to meet
customers needs
• Tender : goes for the lowest price
Source Selection
• Evaluate sellers
• The facilities given by them
• Choose the best seller
• Eg : weighted averaging model

Types of Contracts
Fixed price
• Pays the
initially
agreed cost
• Suits well
designed
products or
services
Cost
reimbursable
• Pays the
actual cost
spent
• Suits for new
, risky ,
experimental
products
Unit pricing
• Pay per unit
Time and
Material Costs
• Pay fixed
price + time
based rate
• Initial Capital
+ hourly
payment for
repair
Fixed Price Contracts
• Pays the fixed total price
• Good for reliable contracts
• 2 types
– Fixed Price
– Fixed Price + Incentive
1. Fixed Price Contracts : Only pays the fixed fee, No
incentives
2. Fixed Price + Incentive
fixed amount + Additional amount (conditional)
Example : for 30 chairs , buyer pays 50000 plus
additional incentive of 3000 for delivering
goods ahead of schedule
Total cost = 50000 + 3000 = 53000
Cost Reimbursable Contracts
• Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF)
• Cost Plus Fixed Fee ( CPFF)
• Cost Plus Percentage of Cost ( CPPC)
Cost + Incentive Fee (CPIF)
Actual Cost + Fixed Incentive+ Incentive Bonus
Example : a project expects 100000 for a
contract but the actual cost is 80000. The
contract agrees to pay a 10000 supplier fee &
an incentive bonus of 15% for saving cost.
Calculate the cost of contract
Actual Cost + Fixed Incentive+ Incentive Bonus
Cost = 80000 + 10000 + (20000 * 15%)
Cost = 93000/=
Cost Plus Fixed Fee ( CPFF)
• Buyer has to pay only the allowable
performance cost + fixed incentive
Cost = Allowable p. cost + Incentive based on
agreed cost
A project expects 100000 and a fee of 10% of
expected cost. If the project spends 120000,
calculate contract cost
Cost = Allowable p. cost + Incentive
Cost = 120000 + (100000 * 10%)
Cost = 130000
Cost plus Percentage of Cost ( CPPC)
Cost = Allowable P. Cost + Incentive based on
Actual cost
For the above example ,
A project expects 100000 and a fee of 10% of
expected cost. If the project spends 120000,
calculate contact cost
Cost = Allowable P. Cost + Incentive based on
Actual cost
Cost = 120000 + (120000 * 10%)
Cost = 132 000
This kind of contracts are prohibited in some
countries.
