The Role Of Procurement
Muhtasari
A customer walks into a clothes shop wanting the jacket she saw online, in her size, in navy. The shop has it in three sizes and two colours, and neither of them is hers. She leaves. Nothing was wrong with the jacket, the price, the staff or the shop. The business lost the sale because of a decision taken weeks earlier, by somebody she will never meet, about how much of what to order.
Procurement is the unglamorous part of a business that decides whether the glamorous parts work. In this lesson you will learn how stock is managed, what just in time really costs as well as what it saves, and why holding spare stock is a genuine business decision rather than an oversight. Then you will look at how a business chooses its suppliers, weighing price against quality and reliability. This is a Business operations topic, so it appears on Paper 1 only, and it has produced a six mark question in every recent series precisely because the trade-offs in it are so easy to state and so hard to settle.
Malengo
- Managing stock:
- Just in time (JIT).
