When taking control of a de-centralized purchasing system, what procedures and operational strategy should be taken?

0

I am coming from a company that operates 23 locations in a centralized purchasing system. As the Director of Purchasing for this company, I have become used to the daily operations of a centralized system. At the end of this month, I will be interviewing with a company where they are looking to create a Director of Purchasing position. As the first Director of Purchasing for this company, it will be my job to establish new policies and procedures. Any recommendations towards what those policies and procedures should be would be much appreciated. Also, any advice on ways to expedite processes or innovative cost saving methods would also be appreciated. Thank you.
