PROCUREMENT AND SOURCING

Procurement and Sourcing refer to the processes organizations use to acquire goods, services, or works from external suppliers.

Procurement is the broader process that involves identifying needs, selecting suppliers, negotiating terms, contracting, and managing the purchase of goods and services. It covers everything from strategic planning to the final acquisition and payment.

Sourcing, on the other hand, focuses specifically on finding and selecting suppliers or vendors to meet the organization’s needs. It often involves assessing the market, evaluating supplier capabilities, and establishing long-term relationships.

In short, procurement is the overall process, while sourcing is the key part of it that ensures the right suppliers are chosen. Both aim to ensure cost-effectiveness, quality, and reliability.

Risk management

Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and addressing potential threats that could negatively impact an organization’s goals, finances, or operations. These risks can stem from various sources such as economic instability, legal issues, natural disasters, or internal failures. The main steps involve spotting and analyzing risks, evaluating their likelihood and impact, deciding on the best response—whether to avoid, minimize, share, or accept the risk—and continuously monitoring the situation to stay prepared. Effective risk management helps organizations make informed decisions, protect assets, and improve resilience in an unpredictable world

First Aid management

First aid management refers to the immediate and temporary care given to an injured or ill person before professional medical help arrives. Its primary aim is to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery. Key components include checking the scene for safety, assessing the casualty’s airway, breathing, and circulation (the ABCs), and administering appropriate interventions such as controlling bleeding, treating shock, performing CPR if necessary, or stabilizing fractures. First aid also involves staying calm, reassuring the victim, and calling for emergency services as needed. Prompt and appropriate first aid can make a critical difference in the outcome of many emergencies.

operations in disaster management

Disaster management operations involve the coordinated efforts to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural or man-made disasters. These operations are carried out in phases: preparedness (planning, training, and resource allocation), response (immediate actions to save lives, provide emergency relief, and contain the disaster), recovery (restoring essential services, infrastructure, and livelihoods), and mitigation (efforts to reduce future disaster risks). Effective disaster operations rely on clear communication, swift decision-making, collaboration among agencies, and community involvement to minimize the impact and speed up the return to normalcy.
