Posted by Jesusita on Oct 21, 2024 at 04:59 AM

A procurement manager is setting KPIs measurement for user satisfaction. He also wants to encourage users to share the reason why they feel the way they do. Which of the following types of KPI should the procurement manager apply?

Suggested Answer: C

IMechE/IET: Institution of Mechanical Engineers/Institution of Engineering and Technology - two separate institutes that issue jointly agreed model forms covering the design, supply and installation of electrical, electronic and mechanical plant including special conditions for the ancillary development of software. Car lifts are mechanical products, so IMechE/IET is the most suitable model contract for this type of product.

FIDIC is a French language acronym for Fdration Internationale Des Ingnieurs-Conseils, which means the international federation of consulting engineers. It was started in 1913 by the trio of France, Belgium and Switzerland. The United Kingdom joined the Federation in 1949. FIDIC is headquartered in Switzerland and now boasts of membership from over 60 different countries. FIDIC published its first contract, titled The Form of contract for works of Civil Engineering construction, in 1957. As the title indicated, this first contract was aimed at the Civil Engineering sector and it soon became known for the colour of its cover, and thus, The Red Book. It has become the tradition that FIDIC contracts are known in popular parlance by the colour of their cover. This first contract by FIDIC was undertaken jointly with the International federation of Building and Public works. FIDIC's concerted effort at achieving broad consultation and acceptance of its contract forms has seen subsequent editions of its contracts being ratified by the International Federation of Asian and Western Pacific Contractors Association, Associated General Contractors of America and the Inter-American Federation of the Construction Industry, Multilateral Development Banks among others. Because of the broad support it enjoys, FIDIC contracts are the foremost contracts in international construction.

The Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) has some model contracts for IT functions including: supply and installation of computer equipment, support and maintenance of bespoke software, servicing of computer equipment,...

The International Trade Centre (ITC) produces contracts specifically designed for small companies doing international business, covering the sale of goods, distribution, services and joint ventures.

Could it be a numerical measure? I just can't recall if that would allow for open-ended responses like the qualitative assessment does.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about quantitative measures being more about numbers and less about user feedback.

I think the qualitative assessment might be the best choice since it allows users to explain their feelings in detail.

I'm a bit confused by this one. The mention of KPIs makes me think it should be a quantitative measure, but the requirement to capture the reasons for satisfaction seems more qualitative. I'll have to review the differences between the answer choices to decide.
DO

Okay, I've got it! The key is that the procurement manager wants to encourage users to share the reasons for their satisfaction. That points to a qualitative assessment, not just a numerical or binary measure. I'm confident D is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. The question mentions KPIs, which usually involve quantitative measures. But the requirement to capture the reasons for user satisfaction suggests a more qualitative approach. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Binary measure? So it's either 'satisfied' or 'on fire'? I think the procurement manager needs to expand their horizons beyond true/false questions.

I think option A - Quantitative measure is the way to go. You need hard numbers to truly gauge user satisfaction. The other options are too soft and subjective.
