2019 buyer work plan

The procurement work process begins with information obtained from annual sales forecasts, production forecasts, and overall economic forecasts. Sales forecasts will provide a total measure of material requirements, products and services acquired after purchase; production forecasts will provide information on required materials, products, services; economic forecasts will provide general trends for forecasting prices, wages and other costs Information.

In many companies, less than 20% of purchases require more than 80% of purchase funds. Decompose the total forecast into specific plans and then develop effective price and supply forecasts for each important need.

The estimation of material consumption is divided into monthly and quarterly, and the estimated data is checked against the inventory control data, and the inventory control data is determined by considering the purchase lead time and safety stock quantity. These estimates are then linked to material price trends and effective forecasts to develop a procurement plan. It is then expected that the supply of materials will be sufficient and the price may fall, so the procurement policy may be to reduce the inventory to an economically reasonable minimum. Conversely, if the supply of materials is predicted to be low and prices are rising, a sensible procurement policy will be to ensure that there are sufficient stocks and contracts and will consider the possibility of buying futures.

This step was used early in the procurement of raw materials and components. When predicting the trends affecting the price and availability of components, the production cycle of the forecasted parts supply industry should be considered.

The main needs can be divided into related product groups. The analysis mode for the main current prediction can be applied to the relevant product group.

At the end of each month/quarter of the season, the number of each project or related product group and the estimated capital cost are tabulated, and the procurement plan is modified accordingly. Each buyer analyzes the project he is responsible for and they establish The price may be further revised as a result of guiding the objectives of its activities during the planning period.

For example, the construction of new facilities or the manufacturing of new major products that have not been produced before, when new equipment or products are needed, will create time uncertainty, and it will be difficult to make procurement plans.
