Purchasing and supply - Program screenshot

Purchasing and supply management is the most critical part of the work of any enterprise and organization. The way they are organized depends on the work of the company and its financial well-being. The impact of purchasing is great. They directly affect sales, the efficiency of the use of working capital, the assessment by consumers of the goods or services offered by the company. The larger the company, the more complex the supply chain issues are.

Purchase can be carried out directly from the supply dealers. This is often cost-effective but inefficient in delivery, since different supply managers may have different views on meeting delivery times. Often, purchasing managers prefer to use the services of distribution centers, be it large wholesalers who are able to provide the company with everything necessary for the profile of its activities or the distribution network with products, metal, construction — with building materials. The manager decides which purchasing and purchasing model to use. You can also organize the work of supply control in different ways. For example, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the so-called holding model is chosen, in which the entire purchasing and supply policy is determined by the management. It also approves prices and a list of supply managers, and specialists must perform all the necessary actions within the established restrictions. With the tray model, the role of supply control is not great all issues with supplies are decided by the management. Centralization is considered a more efficient system for organizing purchasing in purchasing. Under her, the management gives a lot of authority to supply gives the opportunity to creatively show their abilities, but controls all stages of activity. This system needs automation — the use of a special information program to make accounting and control over purchases and supplies simple and understandable.

In general, they allow the establishment of centralization, but with numerous reservations. Supply managers are responsible for finding supply, concluding contracts, and drafting all accompanying documentation that provides dispatch and delivery services, quality control of goods or raw materials, and control of the deadline for completing the application. We need a program that will provide more reliable control and build a reliable system to counter theft and kickbacks.

In modern companies, two types of purchasing are practiced, centralized and decentralized. With the first case, the supply department provides everything necessary for the entire company, together with its branches. In the second, each department has its own supply owner who makes purchases only for the needs of his department. The centralized type is considered preferable and more beneficial for the organization.

Purchasing and supply of services can be considered effective only when managers can acquire the resources necessary for the company at a favorable cost, ensure timely deliveries, purchase high-quality goods, and maintain partnerships with supply companies. At the same time, not the least importance is given to the interaction of purchasing specialists with other departments. Each of these actions should be considered and monitored.
