Lucas and Luna sit down each episode to dissect the real mechanics of procurement and B2B purchasing — not the textbook theory, but how sourcing managers actually navigate supplier risk, cost volatility, and long-term contracts. Lucas brings the journalist's eye for verifiable data: what the latest PMI numbers mean for lead times, how tariff shifts alter sourcing strategies, and why a single supplier default can ripple through a supply chain. Luna pushes back with the practitioner's questions: How do you negotiate with a monopoly supplier? When does 'just-in-time' become 'just-in-case'? They walk through named case studies — from automotive sector chip allocations to hospital group PPE procurement — always grounded in the spreadsheet, not the slogan. The listener is the procurement officer, the VP of supply chain, or the startup founder who suddenly realizes they need to buy steel or servers. No buzzwords, no fluff — just the tension between cost optimization and resilience. Can you ever really de-risk a supply chain, or is every purchase just a managed bet?#Procurement #B2BPurchasing #SupplyChain #SourcingStrategy #SupplierManagement #CostOptimization #RiskManagement #Logistics #VendorSelection #ContractNegotiation #InventoryManagement #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Operations #Manufacturing #GlobalTradeKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
