Details
Purchasing should be conducted primarily by one nominated person or team to ensure consolidation and co-ordination is occurring and avoid overordering. Purchasing systems should include expiry dates of food, consumables, or sterility to allow usage of those materials first. Orders should be consolidated to prevent unnecessary vehicle movements and packaging waste.
