Mondavi Procurement Management
Mondavi Procurement Management
Procurement is the complete process or action of acquiring or obtaining material, property, or services at the operational level, such as purchasing, contracting, and negotiating directly with the source of supply. Procuring goods and services is a larger process than just the label price of wine; the process to buy those items includes major organizational costs, often accounting for half of the product price. When allowing for the vast number of purchases Mondavi makes in a year, it is easy to see how these costs can spiral out of control without careful management. This paper will describe the contract administration policies, procedures, tools and termination procedure for the Robert Mondavi Winery, external influences on the procurement management process, the role of risk management in contract administration, and how effective procurement management can lead to successful outsourcing by Mondavi.
