The office supplies are procured by the vendor name Staples. Finally, the laptops are procured by tech systems. The vendors are carefully analyzed by the buyers and are listed on the buyer’s approved vendor list of vendors. The vendors are rated based on the price, delivery time and quality of the products.
3. Selection Process & Criteria
The hardware and office supplies are based on the planned purchase order contract with the vendor. The consultants are interviewed before hand before onboarding the resources into the team.
4. Project Procurement Team
All procurement activities must initially get approval from the immediate manager and then the approval of the project manager. The project manager must document justify the need in a form of a document and present it to the project sponsors.
5.Contract Type:
The procurement strategy used by Tesla is called Fixed- Price Contract. This type of contract is also called Lump- sum contract. The reason for choosing this contract is that there is no uncertainty in the scope of the project.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
