One of the important objectives of the purchasing organization is the rationalization and standardization of material and components. This is particularly important for large multinational, multi-locational companies. It is not unusual for different divisions of a company buying a component from the same supplier at different prices ! Firms have therefore undertaken projects to standardize materials and reduce the number of vendors as part of their strategic supplier initiatives. These projects have provided significant results in reduction of purchase costs and improved profits.
