What is purchasing management? Explain the process of purchasing management.

Procurement is an indispensable part of enterprise management, which is directly related to the interests and competitiveness of enterprises. In the process of purchasing, enterprises need to consider factors such as cost, quality, delivery time and supplier stability. In order to get the best solution under the given restrictions. However, in practice, procurement often faces many challenges, which makes enterprises have to pay more costs and energy.

So, how can we make a breakthrough in the procurement process? Let me talk about my views from two aspects.

First of all, from the perspective of optimizing the procurement process, we can do the following:

1. According to the actual production situation, make a good purchase plan, such as purchasing more in peak season, reducing the purchase amount in off-season, avoiding the peak season and rainy season of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, grazing and harvesting, avoiding delivery pressure and controlling inventory.

2. When looking for suppliers, we should not only consider the price, but also pay attention to the stability and reputation of suppliers, including the evaluation of suppliers by other customers and the on-the-spot investigation of suppliers within the enterprise. There are often some' bargains' in the circle of friends, but these sources are unstable, which brings trouble to the production of enterprises.

3. In the purchase contract, it is necessary to specify the delivery time, quality, quantity, AZ delivery and other matters, so as not to regret because some key matters are not clearly written.

Second, from the training of buyers, enterprises should pay attention to:

1. Establish a good reward and punishment system to praise and punish outstanding and backward buyers in time. Stimulate the enthusiasm of employees and let buyers learn and improve constantly.

2. Enterprises should constantly promote procurement automation, and realize rapid acquisition, analysis and application of procurement information through procurement management software and ERP system. For example, some things that need standardization can be designed with typical technical requirements, and suppliers can be strictly constrained through the system to avoid risks.

3. In addition, enterprises can try to make procurement a learning organization, so that employees can be developed and promoted in their work practice, and the procurement team can be fixed and specialized by allocating special funds and specialized institutions to train talents.

As a part of enterprise management, procurement should not only pay attention to superficial management, but also fully tap its internal potential and constantly innovate, improve and upgrade its management level. With the intensification of market competition, the importance of enterprise procurement is becoming more and more prominent. I hope every enterprise can gain something from purchasing.
