Typical activities for the traditional purchasing department used to be negotiating prices with the suppliers, processing orders and checking deliveries and invoices. In contract negotiations monetary objectives often dominated quality concerns. The ever increasing focus of companies on their core competencies goes hand in hand with reducing their own services in range and depth..

The supplier management process as a development from the traditional procurement is contributing more and more to the competitive edge of a company. Objective of any optimized supplier management is to guarantee long-term supply security at low procurement cost and high procurement efficiency. This desired combination of cost leadership and differentiation strategy requires exploiting cost advantages and cost saving potentials consistently, high innovation capability and the definition of quality goals and time frames.
