Abstract
This chapter analyzes the partnerships that procurement can set up. It presents an innovative model based on the Kraljic matrix. Partnerships are important for critical suppliers. This chapter also considers the critical factors that make them successful.
Documentation is an important aspect of procurement. In this respect, the chapter presents a comprehensive model of the way procurement should communicate with vendors. This aspect has become more important as documentation has become dematerialized and in need of control. Partnerships also present risks. The chapter analyzes these in detail and presents a model that can support the decisions and management of risks in partnerships. Agile procurement requires lean processes and digital support. To reach this target, procurement needs to change. Change requires projects. The chapter analyzes in detail the project management for digitally transforming procurement processes once they have been made lean.
