Negotiation and Purchasing: Setting prices, delivery lead times, payment terms and purchase volumes to optimize costs.
Contract Management: Drafting and monitoring supply contracts, ensuring compliance with SLAs (Service Level Agreements).

Security of Supply: Ensuring materials arrive on time to prevent production line stoppages that would generate significant losses.
