Project Management Professional Practice Question

During development of a delivery solution for a complex engineering project, the project manager discovers that a single supplier provides a specialized alloy that is on the project's critical path. An interruption at this supplier would halt work for at least four weeks and jeopardize the schedule baseline. Which action is the BEST way to address this risk within the delivery solution?

  • Increase communication frequency with the existing supplier to weekly status meetings to ensure earlier visibility of potential delays.

  • Negotiate a price reduction with the primary supplier in exchange for a longer-term contract.

  • Qualify and contract with an alternate supplier for the alloy and include a contingency plan that shifts orders to the backup supplier if the primary one fails.

  • Continue using the single supplier but add extra quality inspections upon delivery to catch defects sooner.
