Knowing what you want, how many, how often, and when.

Once you’ve decided to source you must then carefully consider the following: 1) what you want, 2) how many do you need to purchase at one time and under ideal situations for the year, 3) how often you wish to purchase and receive those items, and 4) how quickly you must receive the item or service.

Once you have these fundamental questions answered, you will be able to determine whether a foreign or domestic provider is your best option. You can also begin to work on the quality assessment documentation that all sourcing projects require. Regardless of the vendor, quality control is your responsibility. You must not only pick quality vendors but have the necessary tools for determining if they are fulfilling their side of the agreement.
