Supply Challenges In Africa

Abstract

Purchasing and materials managers in the poorer countries in Africa face a complex set of challenges. The full extent of their problems is difficult to grasp for supply professionals in the developed world. The lack of hard currencies and qualified personnel, the low credibility of supply, the key role of finance and accounting, contract breakdowns, long lead times, moral values, high prices, and supplier apathy all combine to produce a frustrating and complex set of challenges.
