Abstract

This study delves into the intricate relationship between Project Procurement Management and Critical Chain Management within the framework of project execution. The research scrutinizes how procurement processes, encompassing planning, solicitation, and contract administration, interface with the principles of Critical Chain Management, emphasizing task prioritization and resource optimization. Furthermore, this investigation acknowledges the pivotal role of the Logistic/Project Manager in moderating this intricate interplay. The manager's decisions and actions are recognized as key determinants in aligning procurement strategies with the exigencies of Critical Chain Management. The study is underpinned by both theoretical and practical dimensions. Theoretically, it develops a comprehensive model elucidating how procurement activities can be seamlessly integrated into the Critical Chain approach. Practically, it offers actionable insights for project managers and logisticians to enhance project performance, mitigate risks associated with procurement delays, and optimize resource allocation. By dissecting this nexus, the research not only advances theoretical understanding but also furnishes practitioners with valuable tools to navigate the complexities of project execution. Ultimately, this endeavor seeks to augment the body of knowledge in project management, offering a nuanced perspective on the interplay between procurement practices, critical task prioritization, and the pivotal role of the Logistic/Project Manager in orchestrating successful project outcomes.
