Understanding the Significance of Capital Procurement
Capital procurement is a critical aspect for capital-intensive owner firms, where the type of capital project work can vary substantially from year to year. Without a historical baseline, it becomes essential to forecast planned future spending over the next few years. Different projects may have unique service and supplier requirements, with non-price considerations playing a significant role in cost reduction, particularly in engineering and construction services. Internal project management processes also differ significantly based on project size, emphasizing the importance of equipment selection and design decisions on spare part inventory levels and operability.
