Supply Strategies or Strategic Procurement incorporates actions aimed at reducing the supplier base, negotiations, communication and maintaining long-term relationships with suppliers. It is particularly relevant in light of globalization the development of cost-saving communications and widely available IT, improved logistics and procedures, dynamic competition, high consumer demands, increasing environmental awareness and requirements for transparency. All these developments make operative procurement tasks obsolete and calls for a more strategic approach aligned with the wider organizational strategy. Some common mistakes that companies can make in relation to their procurement strategies include purchasing without defined tasks, failing to find the balance between central and local purchasing, failing to achieve efficiency despite suitable purchasing tools, or sole concentration on design and development with SRM in Supply Chain Management.
