Discussion Questions
1.) Needs and Requirements. Please respond to the following:
The importance of needs and specifications cannot be undervalued in the supply chain decision making for a purchasing agent (or any member involved in bids and contracting). Quality, quantity, delivery, price and service are important criteria in the bid and acquisition processes.
The ability to translate organizational needs into strategic and non strategic commercial equivalents, needs and exact specifications can be challenging. It is critical for the supply professional to apply keen judgment to include criteria that is relevant for specific needs.
