1. Manufacturing enterprises lack equipment management.
In small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, the depreciation period of equipment is ignored, and there is no awareness and relevant regulations for regular maintenance of equipment, which leads to the randomness of procurement more than planning, so MRO procurement management has certain management difficulties.
2. Lack of procurement standards
Some enterprises lack procurement standards, and there are no special procurement specifications for the confirmation of procurement environment, the formulation of demand plan, the confirmation of certification plan, initial procurement and re-procurement, and there is a lack of systematic professional knowledge and training in MRO procurement management. In addition, some purchasing personnel are not professional enough to make the correct choice of the required products, which leads to a waste of time and energy.
3. Poor supplier management
Many enterprises don't have much time and energy to inspect when choosing suppliers, which may lead to some suppliers' low quality and lack of perfect supplier management consciousness, resulting in low utilization rate of supplier-related data and product data management operations.
4, despise MRO procurement management
Due to the special business environment in China, many enterprises put most of their energy into sales, followed by production, and put procurement in a subordinate position, which often ignores the importance of MRO procurement management.
5. Lack of awareness of optimizing procurement.
Do not know how to be flexible, lack the awareness of optimizing procurement, and do not adopt advanced procurement modes such as integrated supply, just-in-time system, dealer cooperation, and e-commerce procurement.
6. Despise the role of the Internet.
At present, it is the information age, and we all deeply appreciate the power of the Internet. However, the application of Internet in MRO procurement management has been neglected. With the help of Internet, online analysis of purchasing data can be realized, management decision-making ability and data utilization rate can be improved, which brings many conveniences to MRO procurement of enterprises.
7. Pay too much attention to the purchase price of MRO.
Some products can't just focus on price, and the lowest market price also means risk. MRO includes important parts of various equipment, and the quality of purchased products is directly related to the normal production and operation of enterprises. Therefore, price is very important, but it should not be the only factor. Considering both price and quality is the right choice. A stable and reliable supplier can greatly reduce the production risk of enterprises.
Second, MRO procurement status and countermeasures
1, optimize the procurement process
Establish an independent MRO material procurement management department, which should include personnel familiar with the common technology of enterprises and procurement personnel scattered in different departments, and give them appropriate authority. Analyze and optimize MRO procurement process, focus on production, warehouse and procurement, formulate specific procurement approval process, and clarify the responsibility to people.
2. Make good use of data
Pay attention to the collation of historical purchasing data and demand forecast, which can be completed more efficiently through the Internet. Internet can realize the transparency of orders, logistics and other processes, support the export of data reports, facilitate enterprises to know historical procurement data in time, and effectively support enterprise procurement decisions through data analysis.
3. Strengthen supplier management
Improve all kinds of information of suppliers, including assessment indicators such as supply category, product quality, logistics timeliness and product price, establish a perfect supplier management system, optimize suppliers, and establish long-term and stable cooperative relations in order to obtain better services.
4. Digital transformation of 4.MRO procurement
Adopt an electronic procurement management system suitable for the enterprise itself, simplify the procurement process, realize digital transformation, and realize one-stop procurement, just-in-time procurement and strategic procurement through digital tools. In the realization and selection of digital procurement management, enterprises need to choose a reliable e-commerce procurement platform to realize the digital management process of MRO procurement, which can not only realize the above supplier management through the platform, but also realize the collaboration between the procurement department and the platform.
5. Strengthen enterprise training.
At present, the turnover of personnel in many enterprises is not small. For new buyers, we must train them as soon as possible, so that they can understand the procurement system of the whole company and gradually establish procurement norms.
