Processes of procurement (purchasing) are a stage in logistics processes, which provides the company with supplies of material goods necessary to perform its tasks (e.g. raw materials, materials, fuels, cooperation elements). As a result of execution of these processes, the goods flow from suppliers on materials market to the warehouses within the manufacturing companies. Procurement encompasses various activities, relating to wide selection of materials and raw materials .This is the case in Południowy Koncern Energetyczny S.A.
