Department
Supply Chain
Exists when the company buys enough materials that someone needs to own vendor relationships, inventory levels, and procurement decisions. Supply chain is real when stockouts cost real money, when the company has a warehouse or storage that needs managing, or when material costs are significant enough to warrant negotiation and tracking. Before this exists, technicians are buying parts at the supply house on the way to jobs.
