Abstract: Purchasing function in manufacturing firms has evolved since 1990's due to many changes, as the implementation of supply chain management, outsourcing, etc. It raises the question of the activities and the competencies of production buyers today. Several studies focused on buyer's activities and competences; most of them examined "required activities and competencies". However, it would be also interesting to conduct a job analysis by examining the activities and competences really employed by purchasers on their daily job. This paper proposes a typology of production buyers resulting from the analysis of 170 responses of purchasers. These profiles could help purchasing and human resources managers to identify production buyers' profiles, evaluations, etc.
