Plan Procurements > Tools and Techniques
• Make-or-buy Analysis
• Is a general management technique used to determine
whether particular work can be best be accomplished by the
project team or must be purchased from outside sources.
• Budget constrains may influence make-or-buy decisions.
• Example: You are trying to decide whether to lease or buy an item
for your project. The daily leas cost is $100. To purchase the
item, the investment cost is $1000 and daily cost is $20. How long
will it take for the leas cost to be the same as the purchase cost?

• Answer
Let D equal the number of days when the purchase and leas cost
are equal.
$100D = $1000 + 20D
$100D – 20D = $1000
$80D = $1000
D = 12.5
This calculation helps a project manager decide whether it is better
to lease or buy. The calculation says that the costs are the same
after 12.5 days. Therefore, if you are planning to use the item for
fewer than 12.5 days, you should lease. If you are planning to use it
for more than 12.5 days, it would be cheaper to buy the item.

Fixed Price Contract
– Fixed Price Contract is inappropriate, if
• Seller may not have the details accounting records of past
project activities required to accurately estimate future
projects.
• Buyers may not have the expertise to prepare a complete
procurement statement of work.
– If Statement of work is incomplete in FP
• The seller is forced to accept a high level of risks
• The seller would need to add a huge amount of services to
their price to cover their risks and the buyer, therefore, pays
more than they might otherwise have
• The seller can more easily try to increase profits by cutting
scope or claiming that work the buyer wants is outside the
contract and thus requires a change.

Fixed Price Contract
– Fixed Price Incentive Fee (FPIF)
• Example: Contract is $1,000,000. For every month the early
the project is finished, an additional $5,000 will be paid to the
seller.
– Fixed Price Award Fee (FPAF)
• Example: Contract is $1,000,000. For every month
performance exceeds the planned level by more than 15% an
additional $5,000 will be awarded to the seller, with a
maximum award of $50,000.
– Fixed Price Economic Price Adjustment (FPEPA)
• Example: Contract price is $1,000,000 but a price increase will
be allowed in year two to account for increase in specific
material cost.
