Organizations are continuously increasing reliance/dependency on third parties and specialists. Your reliability, productivity, and performance are directly affected by the reliability of these third parties and by your processes in working with them. You become more reliable, effective, and productive by making the Supply Chain more reliable.

How do you enable a reliable Supply Chain? Work with reliable Suppliers! Procurement must survey, rank, arrange contracts, and manage with reliable suppliers.•If a supplier is not reliable, find an alternative and “fire” them. Having effective and efficient Supply Chain procedures and systems•You need effective and efficient processes to work and manage suppliers and their activities. When such services were executed in-house, most companies had integrated systems and/or proximity to interact with each other.
