Regardless of which measurement methods are used, one of the biggest challenges for supply management professionals is not only achieving savings on the bottom line, but keeping them there when product and service factors or initial costs impact the figures.
Companies need to develop away to measure these trade-offs so that quality, safety and environmental considerations are not compromised in the pursuit of purchasing savings. Without knowing the true costs that
result, an organisationmay be pennywise, but pound-foolish.
