However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Medium Grade Magnetite. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Medium Grade Magnetite industry.
