What are the pros and cons of a centralized purchasing function?
The primary benefits of a centralized purchasing function are cost-savings and standardization of the product or service purchased.

If an end-user does not adequately communicate requirements (for example, quality and delivery) of a purchase to the centralized purchaser then there can be suboptimal results.
