Purchasing | Supplier selection process

The purchasing supplier selection process represents the standard procedure for selecting and evaluating new suppliers. It begins with the lack of suitable suppliers in the purchasing process. The end of this process is marked by the inclusion of the suppliers in the supplier pool.
