Stefani, Purchasing Manager, Bruges, Belgium I fully agree with a nmumber of points that have already mentioned.
Recognition of purchasing as a part of the supply chain is something that is very difficult in an environment that is not fully aware of the potentials in purchasing. Purchasing and Supply Chain is much more that cost savings on price. In such environment it is difficult to bring your supply chain performance (incl purchasing) to the next level. Internal marketing about the function and promoting its results is in my eyes the only way you can change this slightly.
Externally, I do not see immediate issues. If you managed to establish good relationships with external partners, "the sky is the limit"
