Information, e.g. customer feedback, Packaging material, e.g. outer cartons,

 Selecting new suppliers - this includes finding suppliers that provide products and/or
services that best meet the required needs, analysing them and setting up contracts.

 Manage the supplier over a period of time - this could be short, such as a one-off
purchase such as a factory buying a new generator. Or it could be a much longer
time period, such as a component supplier providing daily core materials for an
electronics manufacturer over several years.
