HANNOVER MASTERY
The general manager of global purchasing and marketing of Hanming Electronics, Xu Cheng, pointed out that making full use of specialized information websites helps purchasers to obtain information more conveniently and accurately, and provides a basis for judging suppliers and products. At the same time, the company can send full-time resident staff to important suppliers, or frequently conduct quality checks on suppliers. He emphasized that procurement should reduce over-reliance on large individual suppliers, and alternatives and alternative suppliers can be used to diversify procurement risks. As for the budget, since the procurement budget is based on the cost of materials and sales forecasts and other data projections, companies with order-oriented production should pay attention to whether some key components can be shipped at the required time, appropriate use of the MRPII system as well as the combination of spot to reduce risk, and fully communicate with all the raw material suppliers before the development of the project, so that the suppliers are clear on the direction of the cooperation and requirements.
Two, the key to reducing procurement risk
Enterprises to reduce the quality, delivery, price, after-sales service, financial and other aspects of procurement risk, the most critical is to establish and maintain a good working relationship with suppliers. The establishment of good cooperative relations need to pay attention to several stages.
First, the supplier's initial investigation stage: in the selection of suppliers, should be the supplier's brand, reputation, size, sales performance, research and development, such as detailed investigation, you can send people to the other side of the company for on-site understanding, in order to make an overall assessment. If necessary, it is necessary to set up a supplier selection team consisting of purchasing, quality control, technical departments, the supplier's quality level, delivery capacity, price level, technical ability, service and so on. After the initial judgment that there is a need to develop, it is recommended to inform the supplier of their company's situation.
Secondly, it is the product certification and commercial stage: the required product quality, output, user situation, price, payment period, after-sales service and so on, one by one test or exchange.
The third is the small batch certification stage: the supplier's products for small batch production, delivery time aspects of the demonstration.
The fourth is
Large-volume procurement stage: according to the cooperation, gradually increase the procurement efforts.
The fifth is the annual evaluation of suppliers: for suppliers with good cooperation, they are invited to the company to exchange work plans for next year.
Third, the procurement staff can not only consider the procurement risk
Procurement as a connection between the company and the suppliers of the window and bridge, the company's input sector (marketing for the output sector), the company's profit center, can not only consider the prediction and prevention of procurement risk, but also in the company's point of view, to consider the impact on the company's manufacturing, logistics, finance, marketing, quality, after-sales service and other aspects. It should also consider the impact on manufacturing, logistics, finance, marketing, quality, after-sales service and other aspects of the company. At the same time, attention should be paid to accounting for the total cost of equity, not just the cost of procurement, so that the entire company's profit maximization, cost minimization, risk minimization, so that from the outside to the inside, from the bottom up to the integration of the company's management.
In order to better address this aspect of the problem, improve overall profitability, minimize risk and loss, can be divided into the procurement department for the development of sources of goods (sourcing) group and procurement (buyer) group. Sourcing is mainly responsible for cost control, risk prevention, product quality and supplier assessment of the overall capacity (including the supplier's logistics status.), Sourcing is mainly responsible for cost control, risk prevention, product quality and supplier's comprehensive ability to assess (including the supplier's logistics, after-sales service, the company's financial strength, the overall management capacity, etc.); Buyer according to the information provided by the Sourcing, combined with the company's production status and demand for purchasing and tracking orders.
It should be clear that purchasing risk cannot be absolutely avoided, and after the risk occurs, it becomes very important to control the costs associated with purchasing risk.
