You are a buyer working for a pizza manufacturer that produces a wide range of pizzas for all the leading supermarkets. You have been given the task of finding new suppliers of tomato sauce, the base ingredient of all your customer’s pizzas. Which supplier will you choose?
Supplier A comes in with the lowest price but they’re based in Kenya and there could be problems with reliability of supply and there are questions over the pay and conditions for their workers. • Supplier B is East European, slightly more expensive but their sauce is organic and they have positive environmental credentials. • Supplier C is British and a local cooperative. They are most expensive but transport costs will be lower. They are also dependant on a good summer.
Working in teams take on different roles within an organisation to debate your answer. • You may have concerns about all of the suppliers so consider what checks and assurances you would need to be confident enough to buy from them.
Team roles: • Purchasing Manager • Finance Director • Head of Quality Control • Think about what these people’s opinions and priorities would be within the organisation. • The Purchasing Manager shouldreport back to the groupgiving reasons why yourteam chose that supplier. • Head of Production • Marketing Manager
