Procurement and supplier management

Plan what to buy, select and contract suppliers, and track their deliveries and long-lead orders against the plan.

Use when
Contractors or suppliers do a large part of the work, or long-lead orders set the critical path.
Avoid when
All work is done by the own team with nothing to buy.
