Key Insights
Sourcing is one of the first steps of supply chain management —the handling of the entire production flow of a good or service. Organizations employ sourcing processes to create their network of suppliers (“links” in the chain) that move products along. The three primary types of sourcing are direct sourcing, which involves getting goods directly from manufacturers; indirect sourcing, which focuses on non-production-related goods and services like office supplies; and single sourcing, where a company relies on one supplier for a specific item. Unlike traditional sourcing, which often focuses primarily on cost and speed, strategic sourcing considers a broader range of factors, including supplier quality, reliability, sustainability, and long-term partnerships. Learn how sourcing in procurement can help you reduce costs, evaluate suppliers, manage risk, and build a strategic sourcing process that improves performance.
