Abstract: Abstract The way in which a purchasing department is structured is directly dependent on the way in which the company operates. Having a purchasing organisation structured in the wrong manner can lead to higher costs for materials and inconsistencies for the production of finished goods, which can lead to degradation in customer satisfaction. Supply management department organisational structures often reflect the organisational structure of the business. The figure below illustrates a standard organisation divided into functions such as bids, non-product-related, product-related, project purchasing and the China sourcing office.
