Strategic sourcing is important in business today. Outsourcing is an important way to re-duce cost while improving the strategic focus of a firm. Many companies have enjoyed significant success because of the unique ways in which they work with their suppliers. Companies that face diverse sourcing, production, and distribution decisions need to weigh the costs associated with materials, transportation, production, warehousing, and distribution to develop a comprehensive network designed to minimize costs and preserve the environments.
