  • The objective of strategic purchasing is to manage suppliers to reduce cost of materials and engage them in downstream processes and also to reduce the cost of purchasing. The implementation of IT in purchasing enables automation of many of the processes such as bid management and evaluation, order management and payment processes such as handling of invoices. The automation reduces errors in the purchase to pay cycle and increases process efficiency.

  • This headline-grabbing story gives you some idea of how important purchasing can be. Buying right doesn’t necessarily mean buying cheapest. However, dollars saved by adroit purchasing add to the bottom line the same as profit on sales. Some entrepreneurs find purchasing a tedious chore and often overpay.

  • In 2002, questions were raised about the ethical nature of group purchasing organizations (GPOs) after it was found that they were taking part in anticompetitive business practices, including excessively high contract fees. However, a review conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows improved transparency within the system.
  • Within the current review, GPOs reported that they received contract administrative fees that ranged from 0.09 percent to 10 percent of the product's purchasing price. Two of the GPOs reported that contract administrative fees in 2008 were over 3 percent of the purchasing price. Combined, the six GPOs collected $1.7 billion in contract administrative fees in 2008 and $320 million in other revenue. Additionally, 53 percent of GPOs' total revenue was distributed in 2008, which totaled about $1.1 billion

    Moving forward, as consumers and shareholders both demand transparency and ask for more accountable businesses, sustainability within the supply chain will evolve from just "greenwashing" to become the foundation of great business. "Today, sustainability has replaced cost, value and speed as the dominant topic of discussion among purchasing and supply professionals," asserts the authors of one Oracle white paper. In 2007, Mattel spent $110 million on product recalls and saw its share price drop 5. 8 percent in just two months after its Tier 2 Suppliers used unsafe levels of lead paint in Mattel toys. "Even though Mattel has excellent supply chain management, one slip-up cost them in terms of reputation loss," says Diane Osgood, Ph. D. and founder of Osgood Sustainability Consulting. "Better transparency could have saved them.
