PURCHASING AND SUPPLIERS is the third book in the Retail Assortment Management Course. Purchases spend or earn? In this book, the work of the purchasing department is considered from the point of view of generating profit for the company - what needs to be done to make the most efficient use of the company's funds allocated for the purchase of goods. We will get acquainted with the functions of management and control of purchases, logistics and supplier management that exist in the company, regardless of its organizational structure. Of course, we will pay attention to the position of the purchasing manager in terms of the organizational structure of the company. But it does not matter what the position of the employee responsible for purchasing from your store is called. Procurement as a process and as a function was, is and will be. Therefore, the book will not focus on the position of the buyer, but on the business process of purchasing goods.
