Supplier Relationship Management, or SRM, is how an enterprise manages their interactions with fellow companies that supply them with their specific goods and services.

Optimizing Supplier Relationships is a process of continuous improvement with the goal of ensuring all supplier interactions support, and contribute to, the strategies and goals of the enterprise.

This presentation describes one process of improving supplier community value to, and alignment with, organizational goals through relationship management and measurement. It offers suggestions for business partner selection and non-traditional measurements of performance, and focuses on collaborative processes that improve supply chain value. And finally, discusses supplier recognition techniques that promote continuous improvement.
