Supply chain procurement refers to the procurement between enterprises in the supply chain. Demand enterprises in supply chain purchase orders from supplier enterprises, and supplier enterprises supply goods to demand enterprises.

Compared with traditional procurement, the relationship between supply and demand of materials and the concept of procurement have not changed. However, due to the strategic partnership between enterprises in the supply chain, the concept and operation of procurement have changed greatly.

Characteristics of supply chain procurement

Under the supply chain management mode, the procurement work must be on time, that is, the supplier should supply the materials according to the time and quantity required by the buyer. So as to provide the materials needed by the buyer at the right time and place in the right quantity and quality. Among them, supplier selection and quality control are the key. Purchase method is order-driven, user demand order drives production order, production order drives purchase order, and purchase order drives supplier. This makes the process of supply, production and sales integrated, and the procurement management changes from passive (inventory-driven) to active (order-driven), thus truly responding to user needs on time. Therefore, the procurement and inventory costs are greatly reduced, and the turnover rate of liquidity is increased.
