Logistics - Logistics fields
'Procurement logistics' consists of
activities such as market research,
requirements planning, make-or-buy
decisions, supplier management,
ordering, and order controlling. The
targets in procurement logistics might be
contradictory: maximizing efficiency by
concentrating on core competences,
outsourcing while maintaining the
autonomy of the company, or minimizing
procurement costs while maximizing
security within the supply process.

Procurement outsourcing
1
'Procurement outsourcing' is the transfer
of specified key procurement activities
relating to sourcing and supplier
management to a third party — perhaps to
reduce overall costs or maybe to tighten
the company's focus on its core
competencies. Procurement
categorisation and vendor management of
indirect materials and services (commonly
referred to as Indirect procurement) are
typically the most popular outsourced
activity.

Supply chain sustainability - Tier 2: Learning to think sustainably
This is the second level, where
companies begin to realize the need to
embed sustainability into supply chain
operations. Companies tend to achieve
this level when they assess their
impact across a local range of
operations. In terms of the supply
chain, this could involve supplier
management, product design,
manufacturing rationalization, and
distribution optimization.

Business excellence - Models
1
By far the majority of organizations that use
these models do so for self-assessment,
through which they may identify improvement
opportunities, areas of strength, and ideas for
future organizational development. Users of
the EFQM Excellence Model and Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award Criteria, for
instance, do so for the following purposes:
self-assessment, strategy formulation,
visioning, project management, supplier
management, and mergers.

Quality management framework
The QMF standardises processes,
allowing for increased efficiencies
(faster and less cost) in bringing new
products to the market place. These
processes strengthen supplier
management techniques in addition to
robust cost control, thereby improving
our overall profit. And by
implementing the QMF we ensure
PCI and security compliance across a
project lifecycle.
