What analysis helps determine the procurement needs of an organization?

A resource analysis is a systematic approach that examines the materials, personnel, equipment, and other assets available to an organization. This analysis helps identify what resources are currently in use and what additional resources are necessary to meet operational goals. By evaluating existing resources against current and future needs, organizations can determine procurement requirements, ensuring they acquire the right materials and capabilities to support their missions effectively.

Other methods like supply chain audits, operational assessments, and market research studies focus on different aspects. A supply chain audit looks at the efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain itself, rather than the specific procurement needs. Operational assessments evaluate the overall effectiveness of operations but might not pinpoint specific procurement gaps. Market research studies gather information about trends and competitor offerings, which could inform procurement needs but do not directly analyze the internal resource situation.
