PURCHASING CYCLE
•The purchase requisition described the required
item.
•In order to assure complete and accurate information
for ordering, the requisition must include all necessary
information.
•A right supplier is one who delivers materials
of the correct
specifications on the specific delivery dates
•Single supplier helps develop long-term relationship and
reduce the risk and interruption in the supply.
•Multiple suppliers may not help in maintaining quality
and helps get material at competitive prices.
1.Vendor’s catalogues and price list are available
for standard
items
2.Negotiation : bargaining between buyer and
seller
3.Inviting tenders or quotations
Methods:
Purchase order
The legal order is placed with the supplier on a
form is known as purchase order
• Order acknowledgement is to get a definite
commitment from the supplier about the supply of
items on time.
•Follow up is done to ensure that the items ordered are
delivered by
the supplier on time.
•Though a general policy should be established for the
entire purchasing department, the immediate
responsibility for expediting is likely to rest on the buyer
who placed the order
Selection of Vendors
This is the process where the organization identifies
potential suppliers for specified supplies, services or
equipment.
These suppliers' credentials and history are analyzed, with
the products or services they offer.
purchasing managers research potential bidders obtaining
information on the organizations and products from media
sources and their own industry contacts.
This selection process can include or exclude international
suppliers depending on organizational goals and criteria.
Negotiating
Negotiating is a key skill set in the Purchasing field. One of
the goals of Purchasing Agents is to acquire goods per the
most advantageous terms of the buying entity
Purchasing Agents typically attempt to decrease costs while
meeting the Buyer's other requirements such as an on-time
delivery, compliance to the commercial terms and conditions
That savings could exceed the annual budget of the
department, which in effect would pay the department's
overhead - the employee's salaries, computers, office space,
etc.
VALUE
ANALYSIS
•Also called as ‘Value Engineering’
•It is a combination of Purchasing and Methods Engineering.
•This activity is aimed at modifying the specification of materials,
parts & products to reduce their cost.
•Value analysis has wide acceptance as it offers increased value
of a product without increasing the cost and it reduces the cost
without reducing the usefulness of the product.
•It is widely used by many companies and governmental agencies
Steps
• A value analysis team or committee takes a product, which has
been designed or produced.
• Then they attempt to define what function, product should fulfill.
• the analysis committee tries to perform that function at the lowest
possible cost.
Comparative Analysis
Value analysis may investigate all identical parts purchased by the
company and this investigation can expose opportunities to cut
costs of some of these
parts.
Supplier contacts
Supplier contacts is yet another approach to value analysis. Smart
