Procurement Processes
Response Post: Foxworth
Your choice of company to analyze was highly informative as it helped gain information on the company that I did not possess prior to reading the post. Being a public establishment, and its focus on the quality of products being an important factor in procurement ascertains my position on the necessity of quality for both public and private establishments. Maintaining quality of the procured products ensures that the company is not only able to meet the expectations of the consumers, but also compete effectively in the market by providing quality services.
