If You just began your new role in charge of procurement for a local school district and you're tasked with improving the current system used to procure food and supplies. First, you take some time to evaluate the current procedures and to identify any gaps or areas that could be improved. You notice several issues, including the lack of purchase orders, poor relationship with the prime vendor (you don't always get the quality you expect) inconsistent receiving practices, no clear rotation of stock, and par levels do not exist.

What would you include to ensure vendor relationships improve and the potential for theft is reduced?
