Essay on Supplier Relationships

If we are exporting something from the supplier, then we have to maintain a positive relation with the supplier in order to get the best possible product for our customers and we can develop a positive relationship by demanding the product before time, before t’s shortage in the restaurant, because demanding the product before time is a reasonable act and it is easy for the supplier as well to supply the product on time and with high quality, and on the other hand the supplier positive response will be in this sense if he meets the demands of the customers and export the product with the best quality on time. This will develop a positive relation between the supplier and the customer and they both will be comfortable doing a business with each other. Moreover, the supplier and customer should have a positive behavior with each other, if they are friendly, then they can develop a positive relationship with each other.

From the perspective of the supplier, there might be less than a positive relation in terms that the customer has displace the order on time but the supplier is not focused and don’t supply the demanded product with the high quality standard on time and this will be a loss for the customer, because the manager of the restaurant has to face loss, when their demanded product is not available for the customers or the customers might be served with poor quality food and they will be angry or disappointed. And moreover the customer or the supplier might be rude to each other while communicating. These all things develop a less than positive relation between the customer and the supplier.
