Adams's strategy is to obtain the best price by letting the suppliers know that it buys from the lowest bidder. Approximately four years ago, unexpected increases in demand resulted in materials shortages. Adams was unable to find the materials it needed even though it was willing to pay premium prices. Because of the lack of raw materials, Adams was forced to close its manufacturing facility for two weeks. Its president vowed that her company would never again be at the mercy of its suppliers.

Compliance with the president's orders resulted in a raw materials inventory amounting to approximately $1,760,000.
