Buying teams need to be effectively managed to balance the requirement for high-quality materials and services with the lowest prices and low administrative costs and work with other departments and functions.
The procurement department is often viewed and managed as an administrative function, with sourcing activities executed at arm's length. Strategic sourcing addresses this issue by providing a strategic approach towards optimizing and continuously improving sourcing activities using a proven 7-step methodology. In this course, we describe the steps entailed in the strategic sourcing process. We outline an approach for developing product categories via an analysis of organizational spending.
