Useful tips for working with the purchasing strategy template:
-
Instead of Objective A, Objective B etc., specific purchasing strategy objectives will be listed. Columns 2015, 2016, 2017 will then include the planned development of the given objective that the company wishes to fulfill.
-
In the fields for Role and Scope of Purchasing Responsibility, Purchasing Management, Organization and Structure, Selection and Development of Supplier Networks, Planning and Managing Deliveries and Stock, Financial Aspects of Purchasing, Contractual Relationships and Legal Obligations, Quality Control and Management of Deliveries, Identifying and Managing Purchasing Risks, Information and Technology Purchasing Support, indicate HOW these strategic aspects will contribute to the fulfillment of the purchasing strategy objectives. This template is also quite flexible, in that HOW certain objectives can be attained may be indicated in one sub-strategic aspect only, while other objectives can fall into several sub-strategic categories.
