5 Ordering Practices to Avoid
Placing an order seems pretty straightforward, but there are actually plenty of ways one could easily mess it up. So, what kinds of things should you stray from when placing business orders? The following list outlines 5 ordering practices to avoid:
1) Don’t source solely on short lead times and cheap prices.
Unreasonably short deadlines create pressure; and, in order to meet those deadlines, suppliers end up scrambling to deliver on time, which often results in lower quality service. Furthermore, cheap doesn’t always mean ideal. Orders need to be well thought out and accomplish your company’s top priorities. Placing a subpar order demonstrates – above all else – carelessness.
