Purchasing and locating supplies or materials required for manufacturing or research while maintaining budgetary constraints and quality requirements is known as material procurement.

Inventory management is the process of keeping track of, arranging, and managing stock levels to prevent shortages or overstock and guarantee that supplies are available when needed.

Controlling quality involves checking incoming materials for flaws or non-conformance with requirements and collaborating with suppliers to find solutions for any problems with quality.

Supplier Coordination: Contract negotiations, relationship building and upkeep, and on-time material delivery are all part of this process.

Organizing the storage and delivery of supplies to various departments while guaranteeing an effective flow of commodities inside the company is known as logistics and distribution.

Documentation and Record-Keeping: Using specialist software systems frequently, keeping precise records of material consumption, purchases, shipments, and inventory levels.
