Question 1 of 30
A purchasing manager at a manufacturing company is tasked with improving the efficiency of the procurement process. They decide to utilize Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1\'s reporting and dashboard features to analyze supplier performance and spending trends. After generating a dashboard that highlights key metrics, they notice that one supplier consistently shows higher costs compared to others. What should the purchasing manager do next to effectively utilize this information?
Investigate the reasons for the higher costs associated with that supplier and consider negotiating better terms or exploring alternative suppliers.
Immediately terminate the contract with the supplier without further analysis to reduce costs.
Ignore the findings since the supplier has been reliable in the past and focus on other areas of procurement.
Share the dashboard with the finance department to seek their input on the supplier's pricing strategy without taking any immediate action.
