Okay, let me think this through. When contracting with a supplier, I'd say the most important factor is probably product quality. You want to ensure you're getting high-quality goods that meet your needs.

Okay, let me think this through. The user is running on a SOA environment, so the configuration of the inbound adapter and the Mediator service engine will be important factors to look at.

Inventory levels? More like 'invisible' levels if the supplier can't deliver on time. Talk about a logistics nightmare!

Order cost is where it's at. The lower the cost, the more profit you can make. Quality? Pfft, that's for amateurs.
