Content
The Toolkit is structured in two main sections – Integrated
Supply Chains: Chainlink and Integrated
Project Teams: IPT.
Each comprises
a set of workbooks, each covering a project stage. Within the workbook,
the content is divided into topics. Each topic includes the culture
and activities relevant to the stage, along with links to useful
tools and techniques.
All workbooks are designed to be used on screen or as printed documents.
(Note: due to its size, IPT
Workbook 5 is configured as two separately printable sections.)
Colours
Where you are within the Toolkit is indicated by the colour of
the heading at the top of the page. Where a link will take you is
also indicated by its colour.
IPT tools and techniques
A symbol beside each tool and technique in the IPT
section indicates its grading:
 |
Simple
|
 |
Moderate
|
 |
Sophisticated

Notes on using the Chain link section
Each key step in the development of a procurement strategy is identified
in the 'Process' column. The 'Culture and Activities' column then
provides a summary of the necessary ethos and actions required for
their implementation. The adjacent 'Tools andTechniques' column
provides recommendations, Toolkit cross-references and links to
external supporting information.
Note: Users of this Toolkit module are encouraged to explore
the other sections of this Toolkit to determine their position in
the overall construction supply spectrum, to better understand the
benefits and workings of the integration concept and to gain an
appreciation of the need for collective supply chain focus to ensure
a satisfactory end result.
