Download or read book Contract Management Body of Knowledge written by National Contract Management Association and published by National Contract Management Association. This book was released on 2023-01-07 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must-have reference for contract management professionals, the CMBOK presents what should be learned by contract managers and how they should learn it. The content was developed through a voluntary consensus process governed and administered by NCMA to promote the fair development of consensus. This consensus was established through a job task analysis survey of contract managers and working groups comprised of subject matter experts in contract management. The CMBOK is not solely for the benefit of contract managers; contract managers are not the only ones involved in contract management activities. Numerous stakeholders measure success or failure by contract performance. Knowledge of contract management and competent contract management processes directly impacts the success of contract performance. The seventh edition of the CMBOK is primarily driven by the changes to the Contract Management Standard™ (CMS™). In June 2022, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) reaffirmed the NCMA CMS™ as an American National Standard (ANS). This ANS [ANSI/NCMA ASD 1-2019 (R2022)—see Annex] serves as the CMBOK’s foundational document to expand, refine, and reorganize contract management knowledge. The CMBOK provides further definition of the field of contract management; the framework for the body of knowledge; and the practices, lexicon, and processes of contract management. In addition, it provides procedural steps for contract management processes in general, as well as for specialized areas, including government or commercial contracting.

This book was released on with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CFCM Study Guide is designed to assist candidates in reading the FAR by summarizing each part and highlighting critical definitions and information. It is intended as a detailed study outline of the main topics within each FAR part and includes specific references. The 4th Edition is divided by FAR subchapters A–H. Each subchapter section contains a brief “at a glance” summary of the FAR parts contained in that subchapter followed by a more in-depth summary of each part. The CFCM Study Guide provides references to specific thresholds, limitations, and requirements. Use the citations provided in the guide to find the most up-to-date thresholds in the FAR. This study guide has been updated to incorporate changes up to and including Federal Acquisition Circular 2021-06. As stated above, CFCM candidates are responsible for updates. Check National Contract Management's website for additional information about what is covered on the CFCM examination. The CFCM Study Guide comes with a full CFCM practice exam at the end of the book as well as an answer key to self-grade your responses. As noted, the questions on the practice exam may resemble those on the examination but were developed independently of the actual exam. Therefore, they are not the actual exam questions. Memorization of the practice exam questions and answers is not sufficient preparation for the examination.
Download or read book Enterprise Contract Management written by Anuj Saxena and published by J. Ross Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization, increased economic and geopolitical uncertainty, technological advancements, and a rise in the number of regulations and legislations have led to a significant rise in the importance, volume, and complexity of modern contractual agreements. Yet, in spite of these profound changes, many organizations still manage the contracting process in a fragmented, manual, and ad-hoc manner, resulting in poor contract visibility, ineffective monitoring and management of contract compliance, and inadequate analysis of contract performance. The net effect of this has been a heightened interest in re-engineering and automation of Enterprise Contract Management (ECM) processes across industry sectors and geographies. Enterprise Contract Management: A Practical Guide to Successfully Implementing an ECM Solution addresses all the questions surrounding ECM, ECM solutions, and the project management, change management, and risk management considerations to ensure its successful implementation. This concise text will help your organization manage the challenges of the contract life cycle and the key success factors and pitfalls in a typical ECM solution. It is a must read for corporate executives, buyers, procurement and strategic sourcing specialists, contract administrators and procurement managers. There is currently no other book available on ECM solutions. All existing books on contract management focus on the legal aspects of contracts, but none describe the functions, features, capabilities of technology solutions that support ECM, nor do they explain the key considerations for ensuring a successful ECM solution implementation.

The CMBOK® is designed to present the contract management profession as a circular system in terms of a competence development model. In essence, to understand and apply the CMBOK®, one must be able to apply and understand the CMSTM.The CMSTM competencies are the heart of the CMBOK®. The CMBOK® adds the competencies of "Leadership," "Management," and "Learn" to provide a complete overview of the profession.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis establishes definitions for 50 contracting terms through the use of a detailed methodology comparable to that utilized on past theses of similar intent. Through a thorough review of current literature, existing definitions were examined. Based upon the results of this analysis, proposed definitions were assimilated. Through the use of a mailed questionnaire/survey, the proposed definitions were presented to randomly selected Certified Professional Contract Managers (CPCMs) for feedback. Based upon this feedback, the proposed definitions were then revised to reflect actual current usage of the terminology as indicated by the survey results. These revised definitions are the 'final' definitions presented herein.
Download or read book Handbook of Measurements written by Adedeji B. Badiru and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning, measuring, and paying attention to details form the basis for all successful engineering operations. Measurements pervade everything we do and must be viewed from a systems perspective. A comprehensive all-encompassing guide to measurements, Handbook of Measurements: Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision focuses on high-level engineering computations essential for benchmarks and technical innovation. The book uses a systems framework and a technically rigorous approach to systems linking of measurements—an approach that sets it apart from other handbooks. The popular saying "measure twice and cut once" bears out the importance of measurements in human endeavors. This handbook covers both qualitative and quantitative topics of measurement. It opens with a chapter on the fundamentals of measurement and includes coverage of human-centric measurements, such as measurement of personnel productivity and contractor performance. It concludes with three appendices on measurement, references, conversion factors, equations, formulas, and statistics for measurement. It is well understood that humans cannot manage anything that cannot be measured. All elements involved in our day-to-day decision making involve some form of measurement, whether in the kitchen, retail, sports, service operations, geographical exploration, health care delivery, worker productivity, clothing design, engineering product design, or space craft launching. Measuring an attribute of a system and then analyzing it against some standard, some specification, some best practice, or some benchmark empower a decision maker to take appropriate and timely actions. This book gives you a guide for sustainable practices to ensure accurate measurements, helping you make decisions backed by metrics.
