1) A lack of senior management support to make purchasing a profit center. The claim" Purchasing just happens. It's fine." Nobody is looking for ways to go lean and reduce cost.
2) An inabilty to concentrate on analysis of perfomance metrics due to chasing paper trails to "fix" quality-issue problems that can be eliminated and give back "lost" time for more important tasks; ie: vendor relationship building..
3) Looking for the "big/long/expensive" (ERP) project when small improvements that don't rely on EDI can give immediate results.
4) Getting all the teams to play together: senior management, purchasing, finance and IT.
