A good purchasing officer is the one

Who should always involve its effective efforts throughout the purchasing process.

Who should never make price the only criterion in a purchasing decision but should also consider other aspects like quality, delivery, and after sales services

Who should never do vendor selection based on favoritism

Who should treat suppliers fairly and not to attempt to take advantage of supplier’s mistakes nor trick them to accept unfavorable terms.

Who should never negotiate with the understanding to be a close relationship with the supplier across the table

 

Who should deliver the products in right time, right place, right price, and to the right customer

A good purchasing officer must be able to deal with weaknesses within the inks of his procurement process and constantly works on mitigating of their negative impact on the process flow. Best procurement transactions are those implemented within a supply chain context.

A procurement officer should also understand his employer strength to maximize his negotiating power upon joining hands with a supplier.
