FPFS - Fix Price Fix Scope.

T&M - Time and Material project

 

Split FPFS contract with two contracts: first project with T&M either fix the scope or fix the price. Then the customer would get known the venders, and vendors would better understand the scope.

 

Fixed price - Variable scope.

Target price - Variable scope.

 

Toyota's contracts with suppliers are target price projects. With target project, suppliers could figure out bigger profit margins and Toyota would also get lower prices with parts.
