Within Corporate Purchasing/Logistics Operations, Hansgrohe AG makes a distinction between three operational areas:

• Strategic purchasing:
  Each group of goods has a strategic purchaser allocated to it.
  The strategic purchaser stipulates who is to supply Hansgrohe.
  
  
• Development purchasing:
  In the context of new/product developments (projects), individual parts or units will be covered by invitations to tender issued by the development purchaser and the suppliers involved in the development process.
  
  
• Operational purchasing:
  After successful transfer of a purchased part into series production, the operational purchaser undertakes call-forwards in terms of quantities and deadline. Together with the supplier, reliable daily supplies are ensured for production.
