The document outlines a 7-step sourcing process that KiwiMart's purchasing department could implement to become more organized and systematic. The steps include conducting needs analyses, assessing supplier markets, collecting supplier information, developing a sourcing strategy, soliciting and evaluating bids, negotiating and selecting winning bids, and implementing supply chain improvements. Implementing this process would help the purchasing department avoid risks, remain organized in a repeatable way for all purchases, choose the most cost-efficient supply options, and receive product shipments as needed.
