On the basis of an empirical research on a sample of Italian plants, this study analyses the relationships between advanced buyer-supplier operational interaction practices (JIT, CE and TQM Approaches) and the basic options of the buyer’s purchasing strategy, such as: sources selection criteria, supply base reduction policies, long-term supply perspectives. In addition, the study compares these operational practices and purchasing policies in different performing plants.
