Freight and logistics industries have seen a significant growth over the last decade, and this growth requires better and more optimized solutions.
The present study aimed at examining strategies that could be used in the optimization of the procurement at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The study aimed at presenting an effective framework for addressing the challenges in procurement and optimizing the performance of the department. This was hoped to result in an effective performance and operation of the business structures.
The study incorporated both primary and secondary research in collecting crucial data on the optimization of the freight procurement at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. According to the results of the study, corruption, lack of competence, bureaucracy, lack of business ethics and wastage were the main challenges in the freight procurement at the airport.
Thus, it can be concluded that firms’ competitiveness in the market today is dependent on the performance of their procurement departments.
