Reason 1: It is new and exciting!
Supply chain management/procurement is new and exciting. It is the new global frontier of business and this is procurement?s golden age.
Purchasing has traditionally been regarded as a bureaucratic function at the organization?s edge responsible for ordering and replenishing supplies. It was concerned with paper pushing and form filling, in respect of transactions and supplies. However, buying has been elevated to new levels of importance and buyers have more clout than ever before. It is now a strategic business driver.
There are great advances being made in supply chain management/procurement, and yet there is a long way yet to go. Indeed, studies shows that only 16% of companies achieve procurement excellence, with 37% of companies at the bottom of the class. The rest are in the middle, or average category.
