When a supplier recommends a specific part for an application, and the buying firm relies on this expertise, an implied warranty for fitness for a particular purpose is established. This means the supplier is responsible for ensuring the part is fit for the intended use. Even if the explicit requirements were not detailed, the supplier’s recommendation implies a guarantee of suitability. If the fasteners fail, the supplier can be held accountable under this implied warranty.

The first step for the newly created corporate sourcing team is to deliver the project charter. This charter serves as a formal document that outlines the project's objectives, scope, stakeholders, roles, and responsibilities. It provides a clear foundation and direction for the project, ensuring all team members and stakeholders are aligned. The charter acts as a roadmap, guiding the team through the project's execution and helping to manage expectations and resources effectively.
