Return to StorePurchasing and procurement functions are about much more than bringing goods and services into an organisation. They are the foundation of strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers. Since many companies source products from around the globe more frequently than ever, a procurement manager needs strong capabilities. These skills cannot just be learnt on the job: they need to be taught. As well, the value of procurement is now recognised as an integral part of cost control within the organisation.
