ABSTRACT:
When carrying out procurement, it is essential that the specification requirement is stated clearly and accurately to avoid misunderstanding by the suppliers. The final outcome will be largely determined by the effort undertaken to define the set of requirements that need to be satisfied. The purpose of this caselet is to engage participants in discussing a potential emergency situation, where water needs to be distributed to the affected victims. The participants are required to write specifications for procuring 100,000 litres of water as inventory. They need to focus on mineral content and packaging when setting their specifications.
