The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Perform sourcing planning is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: With no seeded child occupations to draw from, the scalar relies entirely on the APQC process name and lens prior. 'Perform sourcing planning' is a strategic, desk-bound knowledge process involving data analysis, forecasting, and vendor evaluation; even within the physical domain of aerospace manufacturing, the planning phase is pure information transformation.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Perform sourcing planning sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Perform sourcing planning inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: A new aerospace program is launched or an engineering team forecasts demand for specific materials, components, or services.

  1. Consolidate demand forecasts and program requirements
  2. Analyze historical spend and supply market capabilities
  3. Determine make-or-buy and strategic sourcing approaches
  4. Align strategy with aerospace regulatory and quality standards
  5. Draft the sourcing schedule and budget allocations
  6. Secure stakeholder approval for the sourcing plan

Outcome: A comprehensive sourcing strategy and schedule are approved to guide supplier selection and procurement activities.
