Two problems that a purchasing department sometimes has in meeting objectives are meeting demand and organization of employees.

If there is a shortage in available items for purchasing, the department store may not be able to bring in the products to help meet their objectives. Sometimes objectives for one type of company directly relates to the availability of product from another company. Also, if the purchasing department does not have organization of their employees, they could easily slack off which may result in not meeting objectives. Like any business or department, it's very important to make sure there is employee organization to help operations run smoothly.
