Purchasing Department
A strategic role at the heart of the supply chain
Two people operate within the purchasing department: the manager and her operations assistant. Rifra’s purchasing function is an integral part of the supply chain and plays a highly strategic role, given that the cost of raw materials has a significant impact on product costs in an increasingly competitive market that has been further disrupted in recent years by geopolitical dynamics and consolidation. It operates within a highly collaborative context, where teamwork is an essential element to ensure quality, safety, timeliness, and compliance throughout the entire supply chain.
