Assume you are an e-procurement officer for an office furniture manufacturer of steel office equipment. You have a single factory located in the Midwest with 2,000 employees. You sell about 40% of your office furniture to retail-oriented catalog outlets such as Quill in response to specific customer orders, and the remainder of your output is sold to resellers under long-term contracts. You have a choice of purchasing raw steel inputs—mostly cold rolled sheet metal from an exchange and/or from an industry consortium. Which alternative would you choose and why? Prepare a PowerPoint presentation for management supporting your position.
