Agnieszka Tubis, Natalia Szozda

Abstract


As the customer-oriented policy appears to be the prevailing attitude nowadays, none of companies can afford to seek savings in the field of customer service. As a result, all supply-related processes remain in the spotlight. Until recently this area has been oftentimes neglected by Polish companies but at present it is perceived as the area which allows the capital to be released. The main issue discussed in the below article is the question of strategic sourcing and inventory management. The article aims at characterizing strategic sourcing problems the discussed company struggled with. It also presents the suggested model of stock control, which is being implemented at present.

Keywords
