Vendor management describes the processes that organizations use to manage their suppliers or vendors. Irrespective of your company’s size, you most likely only handle some of your organization’s production and operations in-house and rely on ‘vendors.’ Vendors may provide either one-off solutions or work as ongoing business partners. Therefore, they must be managed effectively to reduce the extreme risk of supply chain disruption and ensure goods and services provided are delivered right on time and to the expected standard.
