Procurement strategy connects sourcing decisions with the organization's needs for quality, availability, cost and continuity. It should distinguish critical inputs from purchases where alternatives are easy to qualify.
Define requirements and assess the supplier market before comparing prices. Review production responsibility, evidence, capacity and delivery assumptions. Decide which risks justify qualification effort, an alternative source or a different contract structure.
Monitor performance against the agreed requirement and record changes. Evaluate total operating cost rather than quote price alone. Update the strategy when demand, product design or supplier dependencies change.
