Procurement strategy - field note 070

Lucknow’s cement procurement for the 5000‑tonne project leveraged CementCo’s bulk contracts, locking in a 5 % price reduction. The strategy included a 6‑month supply plan that matched construction phases.

Lesson: Align procurement cycles with construction milestones.

• Forecast demand quarterly.
• Negotiate volume discounts.
• Secure long‑term delivery windows.
• Track inventory levels weekly.
