70% to 90% of material cost of most products comes from a supply base.
Strategic sourcing is the key to success in the 21st century. For-profit corporations, not-for-profits, government agencies, and other enterprises are focusing on their core competencies and distributing all other work to outside contractors, or suppliers.
