How to be a qualified purchaser

First of all, it is highly recommended to be familiar with the company's products

If you are lucky enough to be hired by a company because of your own quality, then congratulations on getting an opportunity to become a qualified purchaser. The first task is to be familiar with the company's products as soon as possible, for the following reasons:

1. Understanding all production links of the company's products can make you understand the "role" of raw materials and semi-finished products to be purchased in the products, so as to know their quality requirements and corresponding quantity requirements (only need to know here, as for higher-level requirements, they will be detailed in the future)

2. When you are familiar with the company's products, By the way, you will get a preliminary understanding of various departments of the company and related contact methods, including sales, production, technology, quality, finance, logistics, etc. (depending on the company's operation, these will help you to integrate into the team as quickly as possible

Second, familiarity with raw materials, semi-finished products, trade goods, etc.

As a procurement, this will be the basis of your main tasks in the future, which will be generally divided into the following aspects

Since you have known about the quality requirements of raw materials and semi-finished products that the company needs to purchase before, you can learn about it through Ali, google and various retrieval engines (it is worth noting that you can't locate the purchased products subjectively because you don't know the production process, which is our usual jargon "cost accounting"), so you can only get a general understanding of the market through other aspects (I didn't mention colleague consultation here, This is a breakthrough. After all, people will know more about the market before you, and it is a shortcut. However, it should be noted that the poor use of shortcuts will hinder you. Since you already have the basic qualities and abilities, why don't you talk about your own experience?

2. Always keep abreast of the price fluctuations that affect the purchased goods. Some purchased goods, such as non-ferrous metals, minerals, textile raw materials (to name a few), have large price fluctuations, and even one price per day directly affects the purchase cost, while other purchased goods, such as imported products, and other non-human factors affect the price fluctuations, etc.

Understanding the above two points can help you understand the market situation more comprehensively and transform the value for the future "price". In addition to the company's existing business dealings and supplier assessment, this situation also needs to be understood from the side (such as network, peers, etc.). Generally, enterprise suppliers have been assessed for their quality, delivery date, handling emergencies, etc., so this aspect is relatively simple. I can master it by myself

Third, it is the specific procurement practice

1. Understanding the procurement process

2. Understanding the approval procedures

3. Understanding the inquiry, negotiation and contract signing

4. Understanding the purchase, acceptance, warehousing and delivery

5. Handling the quality complaints

Obtaining this information will not be a problem for a person who has the basic purchasing quality and ability. Universal flat-panel printers are not the focus here.

Fourth, the relationship with suppliers

Maintaining a good or higher-level relationship with your suppliers will be of great help to your future purchasing work in terms of purchasing price, delivery deadline, payment method, claim work, etc. To be honest, I am not ready to say this in this article. Personally, I think that the article written today is How to Become a Qualified Procurement. In fact, it is clear that a qualified procurement is only a procurement executor or operator, and it is not difficult for a qualified procurement to involve the relationship with suppliers (the relationship referred to here is only to maintain the relationship). Because of the in-depth ability, it is believed that it is difficult to maintain the relationship with suppliers, and it will be analyzed emphatically in becoming a good procurement.

Personally, if you have achieved the above points, congratulations on becoming a qualified purchaser. What needs to be reminded is that qualified employees can only show that you are familiar with your job and become a proficient, but will your position in the company fluctuate? When you become a qualified purchaser in a foreign-funded enterprise, it's no accident that you can continue to do this job until you retire, but those employees in other private enterprises may not be so lucky. On the other hand, friends who have the conditions of (1) and (2) will not be limited to being a purchaser, executor or operator, but advanced to "good procurement and an excellent purchaser" to make enterprises inseparable from you, which should be the wish of every procurement professional. Next time, I will talk about how to upgrade from a qualified procurement to a good procurement, which mainly involves various details, such as case analysis of domestic procurement, case analysis of international procurement, how to really control your suppliers, and how to deal with common thorny procurement problems. I also hope to continue to bring some positive effects to everyone.

2. How to be an excellent buyer

1. Suppliers should provide as detailed reports as possible on capital, business license, products, production scale and credit certification. The more detailed the information, the better.

2. The buyer will make a detailed classification of the information provided by the supplier, classify these customers into what kind of customers, and give an internal analysis of whether it is worthy of support and whether the funds are worthy of affirmation.

3. The buyer inspects the supplier's factory. Check whether the scale of manufacturers is consistent with the basic information provided by them. If there are inconsistencies, cooperation will not be considered.

4. The buyer asks the supplier for samples. See if the size, specifications and other parameters of the sample meet the requirements.

5. The buyer must pass the technical analysis and have the analysis results of the inspection department. The inspection includes its price, quality and whether it meets the requirements.

6. if it meets the requirements, the buyer will issue a review notice to the supplier. Suppliers who meet the requirements can enter the buyer's supply chain, Shenzhen UV flat panel printer. For the best suppliers, they must first enter the supply chain of the buyers before they can be qualified to provide products and services.

7. Buyers and suppliers conduct initial commercial negotiations, and the normal negotiation time is three months.

8. Both parties sign the contract.

9. Suppliers begin to provide small quantities of products to buyers.

1. The buyer rechecks the supplier's small batch of products. All small batches of products must undergo strict experimental inspection.

11. If the small batch products pass the audit, then this supplier will join the product catalog of the buyer.

12. When suppliers join the product catalogue of buyers, each catalogue needs to be reviewed by themselves, and every place needs to be re-reviewed. The whole process takes half a year. Credit problem is the most important.

there must be no mistakes in the p>12 processes, and there must be no problems with credit standing. After the above 12 links are successfully passed, you can become the supplier of this buyer and enter their global supply chain. The requirements are extremely demanding. If anything goes wrong in any link, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
