Indirect Materials

Indirect materials refer to consumable items essential for the day-to-day functioning of a business but are not directly incorporated into the final product. These materials play a crucial role in supporting various operational activities and maintaining a smooth workflow within an organization.

Within procurement, indirect materials encompass a wide array of goods such as office supplies, cleaning materials, safety gear, and maintenance tools. Despite not becoming part of the finished product, indirect materials are indispensable for sustaining a productive work environment and ensuring the efficient execution of business processes.
