For a company to function properly it must have a permanent supply of raw materials and goods; if sourcing is done efficiently, availability for manufacturing and/or sale will be permanent.

There are tasks prior to purchasing to be conducted such as knowing the requirements of the business and the manufacturing process, knowing the providers in depth, always assessing that their quality and costs are best suited to the business. Start exploring purchasing in this online course.

Purchasing planning and management are of great importance for any organization, regardless if it is a micro enterprise, an SME or a large company. Learn about purchasing management in your organization with this business management course.
