LITERATURE REVIEW
INTRODUCTION

C.K Lyson [1981] defines sourcing and evaluation as the process and procedure by which the buyer seek, survey and evaluate suppliers in term of his ability to provide the required services. It involves gathering of information on sources of supply of materials, carryout market survey and comparison of suppliers based on certain criterion (i.e. quality, quantity, price, time and services). According to Peter Baily and David farmer, stated that sourcing involves much more activities than simply picking suppliers for each order, it involves continuing relationship with both preferred sources which are actually supply of the goods and services and potentials sources which may have been passed over for the present but are still on the list. It involves decision about how to allocate available business and under what terms to do business. For proper sourcing there must be through market researches i.e. read journals and also investigate the market before placing order
