What are the skills of ordering?

Due to the different scale of enterprises and the different types of products produced, many enterprises are more or less faced with the problem of purchasing batch. Relatively speaking, for those products with strong demand, mature technology and relatively stable production, bulk purchasing is an effective way to reduce costs, improve efficiency and shorten delivery cycle. For some special products (such as industrial equipment, special equipment, etc.) with relatively limited or fixed investment by target customers. ), or some products in the promotion period of new technology and new design, because of their relatively small market demand, purchasing raw materials in large quantities will undoubtedly increase inventory, capital occupation and risks. At this time, the most effective way is to reduce the purchase batch and purchase on demand. However, because most suppliers have the requirements of minimum packaging and minimum order quantity, it is very difficult to reduce the purchase batch and purchase on demand. Especially those small-scale enterprises, it is a deep headache for small batch procurement. Both standard parts and custom parts have minimum order quantity requirements. This is because the supplier must produce a certain quantity to cover the cost of producing this raw material, which is often called breakeven. For example, a printed circuit board needs drawing, plate making, mold opening and labor in the production process. In order to bear such costs, suppliers often ask buyers to buy minimum quantities. If this batch cannot be reached, the manufacturer will lose money and will not take orders. This problem is very common in standard parts. Due to the high degree of automation in the production of standard parts, the packaging process is also completed by fully automatic or semi-automatic equipment, and the production capacity is large. In order to meet the production efficiency of automation equipment and save packaging materials and transportation costs, suppliers often contain thousands or even tens of thousands of components in a package. For purchasing manufacturers with relatively small demand, such as enterprises planning to demand thousands of finished products, purchasing a plate of 10K components means a large inventory backlog or even waste. Due to the small purchase volume, buyers often have to pay much higher prices than usual to buy the required products, thus being at a disadvantage in the competition.
