Reducing Mansell Ltd's Number of Suppliers

Abstract: A 5 page paper presenting a consultant's recommendation that Mansell Ltd greatly reduce its list of approved suppliers, followed by a plan for reducing the current number of suppliers. Written from the perspective of purchasing and its role in corporate strategy, the paper lists product availability and reliability as possibly being of greater importance than cost alone. In dealing with many fewer suppliers, the company's business represents a greater percentage of remaining suppliers' revenues, which puts Mansell in a more favorable position for negotiation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
