“It’s a fun job,” says Vicki Fitzpatrick, CPPB, Purchasing Manager at Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI), “ there’s something new every day; sometimes daunting challenges, sometimes tremendous satisfaction!” Her job impacts the central office, sales and every shop throughout ACI. Without the efficient purchasing and delivery of raw materials, the shops cannot fabricate finished products for the sales team’s customers. And the pricing for many of these finished products are fixed as part of State Contracts, so she can’t simply pass along rising material costs, she constantly needs to find ways to save.
