Vendor management is the process that empowers an
organization to take appropriate measures for controlling cost, reducing
potential risks related to vendors, ensuring excellent service
deliverability and deriving value from vendors in the long-run.This
includes researching about the best suitable vendors, sourcing and
obtaining pricing information, gauging the quality of work, managing
relationships in case of multiple vendors, evaluating performance by
setting organizational standards, and ensuring that the payments are
always made on time.
