Читать книгу Contract management with CATS CM® version 4 - Gert-Jan Vlasveld - Страница 26

When we zoom in on the contract management process, according to the CATS CM methodology, we can identify three stages: (1) the Initiate step, followed by (2) several cycles of the Plan-Do-Check-Act/Adjust steps and (3) the Conclude step (figure 4.3). This division applies to both the client’s and the supplier’s contract management process. PDCA has been broadly recognized as a good basis for process control. Originally, PDCA was applied to ‘continuously repeating processes’. In this case, however, there is a clear start and finish. The Initiate and Conclude steps were added to take that into account.

Parts II and III of this book will offer more details on the activities that are involved during these steps.
