What are the eight elements of whole life asset management?
正解:
Whole life asset management is the process of evaluating the total price and all associated costs of a product to make an informed decision as to which option will provide the organization with the best value for money option: To achieve this the organization works at the following eight elements.
1. Identify need/objectives/risk: The first stage of the whole life asset management is the same as the first stage in the CIPS procurement and supply cycle: identify the need prior to any asset being procured; the need could be competition in the marketplace, raised/reduced demands or financial concern. Once this need has been identified, the objectives of the new assets need to be set, and this may include being more energy efficient, reducing cost or saving money.
Risk also needs to be explored. When investing in a new asset there are factors to be considered that may or may not be advantageous to the investment. These include; downtime, lost sale/revenue or associated cost.
2. Procurement: Procurement professional would have to source and arrange supply of the asset.
3. Construction: ones the supply has being arranged, then the designing and the manufacturing of the asset begins.
4. Commissioning
5. Deterioration/maintenance
6. Condition performance monitoring
7. Decommissioning
8. Renewal/replacement

What happens in the public sector, regarding providing feedback?
正解:
A sector is an area of an industry, e.g., private, public or third sector.
A public sector is a sector of the economy that is owned, finance and run by the government. This sector is financed with tax payer's money. And therefore owe the general public an ethical explanation towards all investment and decision.

Explain why you think quality should be investigated before working with potential supplier?
正解:
Quality is fitness for purpose. It is important that quality is investigated by procurement professionals before forming relationship with potential supplies.
If quality is not investigated before selecting supplier the organization might stand the risk of facing the following disadvantages; Reputational Damages Cost of Rework Cost of Downtime Cost of Material Cost of being stocked with the wrong supplier Cost of being stocked in a project that may not come to an end at the forecasted time.
