2. What is Supplier Sourcing?
The basic definition of sourcing is the
process of finding and vetting suppliers. It
can also require managing relationships
with those suppliers and developing a
network of alternate vendors. The level of
detail involved in sourcing depends on the
resources you can dedicate.

from raw materials by using various
tools, equipment, and processes, and

wholesalers, distributors, retailers, or
to other manufacturers for the
production of more complex goods.
