Printer-Friendly Our Organization

FedEx consists of a family of operating companies that operate independently to ensure the greatest possible operating effectiveness of each. In this way, each operating company can focus upon services and value needs of its customers.

To simultaneously support the unique needs of all our operating companies and ensure the lowest possible total cost to the corporation, purchasing for FedEx is performed at both the corporate and individual operating company levels.

FedEx sources and contracts for products and services that are employed by multiple operating companies. Through the Enterprise Strategic Sourcing organization, we can optimize our supply relationships for FedEx as a whole.

At the operating company level, FedEx continues to purchase products and services that are highly unique to that operating company.In this manner, we are able to match our supply programs to each operating company's requirements ensuring its operating effectiveness.
