Z10: The Role of Procurement Process in Organizational Initiatives
Z10 asserts that the procurement process is essential to all organizational initiatives. In order to protect everything from hazards that could result in losses, the technique is employed in many workplaces. These procedures give the involved staff the ability to evaluate the commodities, services, and products that are provided by their organizations. In addition, after risks and hazards are identified, solutions are developed and an implementation strategy is formed.
Creating Procurement Provisions
Additionally, the procurement process generates concepts that lead to the creation of procurement provisions, such as safety requirements that must be included with any goods or services purchased. However, before formulating these descriptions, the personnel involved in safety profession should understand the purchasing habits which are common, know all the importance of the process of procurement and what to consider while formulating specifications for particular processes of procurement.
Evaluation and PDCA Concept
After formulating solutions for the identified problems, and ensuring that the solutions are implemented, the PDCA concept can be applied during the evaluation process. Evaluation helps in determining whether the problem was solved just in part, completely or not at all. It also helps to know if the actions triggered new complications and whether the already levels of risks were achieved or not.
External Audit and Leadership Responsibility
After the evaluation, an auditor who is not associated with the organization should be employed to fair audit all the implementation procedures and ensure that everything is documented for future reference. Ultimately, the leadership of a company should act as an example for the subordinate to follow in ensuring all the safety measures are adhered to keenly. The system for the management of safety and occupational health should be frequently reviewed so as they maintain the right standards for productivity.
