1. Timely arrival affects the production of orders signed
At the same time to determine the approximate arrival time, to understand the supply side of the delivery channels and delivery information, to grasp the initiative to arrive, try to avoid the arrival of untimely impact on production. If the supplier said the shipment must be freight contact information to prevent the supplier deliberately delayed shipment time. Be sure to do where the goods go, about when to have a number in mind. Prevent the impact of the arrival time also requires procurement staff to have a certain degree of logistics knowledge, how long the shipment needs to arrive, by what means to the goods more convenient. Occasionally, because of supply-side errors or demand-side order tracking errors need to communicate with the production sector in a timely manner to make adjustments to the production try to minimize losses.
2. After the arrival of unqualified processing (quality, quantity)
The quality of unqualified supply side in the case of guaranteeing the quality of emergency replacement, or a small amount of nearby procurement, or peer exchange; quantity does not match the situation, timely communication with the supplier to determine the supplier is lost due to shipment or logistical and transportation problems. Negotiate compensation results to determine whether the supplier compensation or directly find the logistics company compensation. General procurement materials are not responsible for the transportation of the transportation to the supply side is responsible for the emergence of problems handled by the supply side can be responsible for the procurement work to secure more benefits. If the transportation by the demand side of their own responsibility, the three parties to determine the logistics transportation damage or loss, accounting for the loss of direct claims to the logistics company. General claims are longer procedures are also more complex, so be prepared to deal with patience, but also try to avoid this situation. Emphasize the quality and product packaging with the supplier to avoid the arrival of unqualified. With the logistics company should also emphasize the quantity and transportation safety matters and loss compensation rights and interests. It must be emphasized that the purchase of equipment must be left in the warranty, not the full payment of the purchase price, because the equipment is often maintenance problems, leaving part of the warranty is to prevent the supply side does not deal with the demand side of their own maintenance costs, the specific amount of how much to show the supply and demand sides.
3. Emergency procurement processing
Generally due to urgent sales plans for temporary changes in production arrangements, the procurement of materials is more urgent.
Two solutions: First, through the geographic location of the nearest manufacturer or trader purchases, the cost of putting back, which requires the assistance of the city procurement or the supply of neighboring cities have a certain understanding of the market. The second is to quickly find the supply of manufacturers, to the fastest mode of transportation, this will need to be familiar with the logistics market, or the company's internal logistics department to help.
4. small test, pilot procurement difficulties
Because it is in the R & D stage, the stability of procurement and the number of more or less passive treatment, often this procurement is more difficult than a large single procurement. Because the volume is relatively small, many supply companies are not willing to sign a single, this time the procurement will have to test the ability of procurement staff. Just engaged in the procurement of peers may find it difficult, because the amount is not large and may be this time to goods next time will not be used at all.
