Until a few years ago the customer/supplier processes
on the national and internal level were largely based
on homogeneous procedures. Enormous shifts in quality
and availability have fundamentally changed this. Procurement
faces more complex challenges in the evaluation and
choice of suppliers. There is no longer comparability
as in the past. This lack of transparency and the significance
of efficient suppliers for the customer make systematic
procurement management a compelling necessity.
The basis
The basis of a
functioning procurement management is the identification
and documentation of all relevant procurement data and
information about the following company processes:
- Procurement organization
- Procurement strategy
- Structure of material groups
- Procurement volumes
- Supplier structure
|
- Sourcing concepts
- Quality management
- Procurement processes
- Procurement controlling
- Certification
|
Buildup
On the basis of
these fundamental data the management of suppliers is
systematically built up. It is important to take the
multi-level nature of the problem into account:
