Procedures for purchasing goods and acquiring services
The document discusses factors that influence purchasing procedures and the typical procedures for purchasing goods. It outlines four main factors that influence procedures: urgency, cost, incentives, and availability. It then describes the typical purchasing procedures, including obtaining information from catalogues and price lists, requesting tenders or quotations from suppliers, placing orders with suppliers, and seeking information about shipment and delivery. The procedures help the Procurement and Inventory Management office purchase goods needed to carry out daily business activities in a standardized way.
Importance of inventory management
Inventory management is important for businesses to control costs and meet customer demand. It involves setting minimum, maximum, and reorder stock levels to prevent overstocking or understocking. Maintaining proper stock levels allows a business to monitor market trends, track available storage space, and ascertain which items are selling well versus those that require more or less ordering. Effective inventory management also helps reduce theft and waste while ensuring production can continue smoothly.
Functions of the procurement and inventory management office
Procurement involves obtaining goods and services from external suppliers to support business operations. In small organizations, procurement is often centralized under the owner or a designated employee. In medium and large organizations, procurement can be centralized, with one department handling all purchases, or decentralized, with each department managing its own. Key procurement staff include the head of the procurement office, such as the chief buyer or purchasing director, and purchasing clerks who assist. The procurement office's main functions are determining what to purchase, liaising with other departments about needs, and managing inventory. Effective inventory management is important for ensuring adequate stock levels and reducing costs.
Functions of the procurement and inventory management office
This document discusses procurement and inventory management. It defines procurement as obtaining goods and services from external suppliers to support business operations. The procurement process can be centralized, with one department handling all purchases, or decentralized, with each department managing its own. Key procurement staff include the chief buyer or procurement officer. Their duties include determining what to buy, how much, when, and from whom. The procurement department must liaise with other departments to understand their needs. It is also responsible for managing inventory by tracking stock levels and ensuring adequate supply. Maintaining accurate inventory records helps avoid stockouts and reduces obsolete stock.
Inventory and warehouse management
This document provides an overview of warehouse and inventory management. It discusses the reasons for warehousing, including supporting customer service and supply continuity. The document outlines key warehouse operating principles like design, handling technology, and storage planning. It also describes common warehouse activities, types of warehouses, and factors to consider in warehouse location strategies. Finally, the document defines inventory management and discusses inventory classification, record keeping, categories of inventory like safety stock and cycle stock, and the goals of holding inventory.
Warehouse Operations and Inventory Management
Companies that make the best use of the basic principles of planning and managing warehouse operations and inventory management have a competitive advantage. Organizations that lack warehouse strategic planning and inventory operational excellence lose profits, market share, cost advantages, and market leadership.
Traditional Supply Chain and Logistics channels are indeed changing. As organizations move from mass production and mass distribution to mass customization, creative approaches are needed in the management of warehousing and inventory. The challenge is always present, because different customers may demand different levels of service. Demand often cannot be forecasted, especially if one must deliver customized products or services exactly where the customer needs them.
Businesses today must understand that they are competing on the basis of time more than on any other factor. The rigors of supply chain management require that you take action to meet your customers’ demand for faster, more frequent, and more reliable deliveries. Your suppliers need to meet increasingly precise inbound schedules. Tomorrow’s customers are more likely to be in another country or continent than they are likely to be from across town, in another state, or in another province.
With a proven inventory management system and an A-B-C Analysis, you can transform your inventory into a proactive force that lowers your inventory investment, reduces carrying costs, boosts confidence in physical supply and distribution service levels, and increases customer and user satisfaction. From a storage and distribution perspective, you, as overseer of the supply management process, should also know how the warehousing layout design criteria and the space and storage schemes affect your material flow, service levels, computerization, and technology options.

FIFO and LIFO
Inventory is goods and materials held by a business for resale. It is given a value for insurance purposes and to determine profit. There are different methods to value inventory, such as FIFO (first in, first out) which matches the earliest acquired inventory to cost of goods sold, and LIFO (last in, first out) which does the opposite. An example is provided to illustrate calculating inventory value under both FIFO and LIFO accounting methods. Both methods have pros and cons, with LIFO reducing reported profits during inflation but being more complicated, while FIFO is simpler but may inflate profits during inflation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
