Movable Materials Requirement Planning

The process by which a spending unit forecasts its movable property requirement according to data on past use, existing stock, service intensity and the minimum stock level. The Movable Property Regulation provides for the movable property records officer to assist in that planning. Incorrect requirement planning may result in launching an unnecessary tender, procuring more goods than required, or disruption of the service. In determining the approximate quantity before a tender, the authority's own movable property records are often the most reliable internal source.
