Cosmo and Carina, with Rex fact-checking, walk through the core of purchasing and supply management: the leverage principle, the purchasing process from requisition to three-way match, spend analysis, collaborative supplier relationships, push versus pull and JIT, and how purchasing is organized. Definitions, key distinctions, real-world cases from CSX, Toyota, Apple, Boeing, and GM, and a closing quiz make it exam-ready.
