Measuring Purchasing Performance

Measuring Purchasing performance is essential for effective management and continuous improvement of the purchasing function. Purchasing evaluation provides vital feedback to the purchasing department as well as top management for assessing the effectiveness of an organization’s purchasing strategies and decision-making processes. Overall performance of an organization is strongly affected by how well the purchasing function can contribute to the firm’s strategies and goals.

Measuring purchasing performance is important, as the purchasing department plays an increasingly important role in the supply chain during an economic downturn.
