The increasing expansion of distribution and sales networks of goods and services, as well as the diversity of domestic and foreign suppliers and various methods of supplying goods and services, and on the other hand, price fluctuations have complicated the process of purchasing goods and services and made cost management essential. Therefore, in the process of supplying and purchasing, full attention should be paid to the precise overlap of the factors of the time of need for materials and services, the timing of purchases, and the control of available cash flows for purchase and maintenance. On the other hand, the storage and storage of goods and the management of warehouses in order to control the entry and exit of goods, calculate the inventory of goods, and reduce the costs of storing goods are considered to be other main needs and concerns of managers of organizations. On the other hand, the connection of the supply and procurement of goods and services to the organization’s value chain intensifies the need for management and precise planning in this area. Accordingly, implementing the supply and purchasing management process based on tested scientific and practical models by carrying out support and advocacy activities in order to provide materials and supplies needed by all departments of the organization through planning purchase requests and concluding short-term and long-term commercial contracts, as well as supporting the purchase of goods and services, and their maintenance and storage operations, will facilitate the organization’s current affairs.
