This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 31
Incorrectア
Creating a schedule so that testing can start after the equipment is delivered is an activity of project time management, which plans and coordinates the work schedule; it is not procurement management.
Incorrectイ
Providing equipment-operation training to the testing personnel is an activity of project human resource management, which handles the development and assignment of personnel; it is not procurement management.
Incorrectウ
Including the purchase cost in the budget and managing the planned-versus-actual results of the total cost is an activity of project cost management, which estimates, budgets, and controls costs; it is a different area from procurement management, which selects suppliers.
- エ
正解 Project procurement management is the management activity of acquiring the goods and services needed from outside the project through purchasing and contracting; its core is selecting suppliers and concluding and managing contracts. Option エ presents the specifications of the testing equipment to multiple candidate suppliers, compares and evaluates each company's responses, and then decides on an appropriate supplier — exactly the activity of procurement itself. Therefore エ is appropriate.
- Project procurement management is the area that acquires goods and services from outside, with supplier selection and contracting at its core; presenting specifications → evaluating responses → deciding on a supplier is its typical activity.
- Distinguish the roles of each knowledge area: scheduling = time management, personnel training = human resource management, budgeting and planned-versus-actual management = cost management.
