Abstract

The complexity of the global supply chain requires refined management of each link. Packaging material procurement, as the core link of supply chain management, has a direct impact on cost control, resource allocation, and supply chain adaptability. The role of packaging is not only for product protection and appearance design, but also plays an important role in cost control, logistics efficiency, and environmental sustainability. This article analyzes the path of optimizing packaging procurement in the context of globalization, focusing on the balance strategy between centralized and decentralized procurement, the application of information technology and big data, and the flexible selection of various packaging materials. It also emphasized the importance of supplier management strategies, including selecting suitable suppliers, implementing a grading system, and risk control. By optimizing packaging procurement and supplier management in the supply chain, the operational efficiency of the entire supply chain can be improved, operating costs can be reduced, and the competitiveness of the enterprise in the market can be enhanced.
