Procurement performance cycle involves all the activities associated
with procurement of raw materials from vendor.
Operations performed under procurement is called inbound logistics.
The basic aim of the procurement performance cycle is to perform
inbound logistics at lower cost
5. MANUFACTURING SUPPORT
PERFORMANCE CYCLE

This cycle can be viewed as being positioned between the physical
distribution and procurement performance cycle.
It is concerned with managing work-in-progress inventory as it flows
between stages of manufacturing.
The major actives are
• Making timely availability of materials, components, etc
