What is the future of procurement management?

The future trend of procurement management: With the intensification of the Internet and the competitive environment of enterprises, procurement management, as a basic link in the process of enterprise production and operation management, has been widely valued by enterprises. So, what is the future development trend of procurement management?

To put it simply, procurement management will change from simple purchase to "reasonable procurement", that is, to choose the right product, at the right time, according to the right quality and through the right business. Organizations will also gradually shift to the formation of strong functional departments and capabilities to support the accurate positioning of procurement in the market and the effective acquisition of products and services. In general, the following three trends will be observed in procurement management in the future.

Trend 1: E-commerce.

E-commerce is an emerging business mode that has emerged with the development of Internet technology and new economic management theory. Since procurement is the first window for enterprises to directly face the market, the development of e-commerce will completely change the current procurement management model in the future. The problems faced by traditional procurement management, such as narrow information, untimely and inaccurate, and loss of procurement data, will gradually disappear in the process of implementing e-commerce.

The growth of e-commerce can bring two immediate benefits to the purchasing sector. The first is real-time. E-commerce has broken through the limitations of time and space, and can obtain market factors such as business, products, and other market factors in real time, and greatly broaden the vision of the procurement department, and the market space has expanded from the original limited space to a global scope.

The second is that the value of the procurement data itself can be obtained through e-commerce. Traditional procurement management basically or no management of procurement data, so traditional management will contain great value of data and information in vain. Now with e-commerce, managers can instantly access and analyze information about past or present transactions and provide decision-supporting data for future purchases.

At present, many enterprises have realized the importance of e-commerce to procurement management, and try to use the Internet for information sharing, access to electronic catalogs, etc., but these are only some superficial applications of e-commerce. It is foreseeable that in the near future, other potential e-commerce applications such as order tracking, fund transfers, product planning, scheduling, receipt confirmation, etc. will also be widely used and directly change the future procurement management model. In short, the impact of e-commerce on procurement management will be reflected in the strategic planning of enterprises, rather than just the tactical change of procurement management.

Trend 2: Strategic cost management.

Although the focus is on door-to-door service now, you still have to find good things by yourself.

<> is very normal for the procurement management industry differences, there is a big difference in the profits of the items purchased by different industries, and the thing to do is to find the best procurement method. Zhongda Consulting will give you a detailed introduction to the differences in the procurement management industry.

When we are thinking about how to improve our procurement management level and reduce the total cost of procurement, we first need to understand what are the industry differences in procurement management? In this way, we can understand and adopt different approaches to managing different procurement efforts across industries. According to the generality and personality of procurement work in various industries, we divide procurement management work into four categories:

Category I. Productive procurement.

That is, we purchase this item directly for the company's production and operation needs. Productive procurement, on the other hand, is divided into two categories:

The first category is raw material procurement (MRP material procurement). The purchased materials are part of the products produced by the enterprise or intermediate products;

The second category is the procurement of spare parts (MRO procurement, that is, repair, maintenance, repair, operation), these spare parts are to ensure that the machine can be operated in normal production and operation of the maintenance and replacement parts.

The nature of procurement management for these two types of items is different, the way they operate is also different, and the perspective of the problem is also different.

Category II. Commercial procurement.

What is the biggest difference between commercial and productive purchases for retailers like Walmart, which is not a productive purchase, but a commercial purchase? When wholesalers and retailers purchase items (like Wal-Mart purchases), it is not very important what goods they purchase, the important thing is that the purchased things must ensure that they can make money, and they have to make money, and if they don't make money, there is no need to purchase goods. Watermelons don't make money, you can buy apples.

But for productive procurement, it is not good, this product with Zhensui our company can only use this raw material, I make biscuits, can only buy flour, can not say that flour is too expensive to buy, do not buy it will be discontinued, so productivity does not guarantee that every purchase will make money, and the profitability of procurement can not be directly reflected. Let's take a simple example: a very competent manager of the production and purchasing department, if he jumps to wholesalers and retailers to do procurement management, he may be fired in less than half a year, why?

Because the perspective of procurement management is different. The approach to management is very different.

Category III. Procurement of general daily necessities.

Like office supplies procurement, as well as administrative procurement, etc. It is characterized by a wide variety of procurement categories, but the purchase amount is small. The items purchased are mainly used to ensure the normal administrative office of the company.

Category IV. Project-based procurement.

Sometimes, our procurement work is a project procurement, such as buying a piece of equipment, building a workshop, etc. The main feature of project-based procurement is that it is one-off. There are very few duplicate purchases.

This means that the process of each purchase has to be restarted, and past experience and relationships are rarely used.

<> "Introduction to the Profession. Procurement management mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of economics, business administration, procurement management, etc., including procurement planning, order management and invoice verification.

Employment prospects. The employment prospects of this major are good, and graduates are suitable for various types of industrial and commercial enterprises, procurement management departments and industry management departments to engage in corresponding procurement management.

Mainly for large industrial and commercial enterprises, multinational companies engaged in procurement and management of fire.

It covers a wide range of fields, including enterprise procurement, commercial procurement, ** procurement and engineering procurement. After graduation, you can be engaged in procurement, bidding, logistics management and marketing in the procurement department, bidding companies, large and medium-sized enterprises, multinational corporations, and foreign trade departments, and can also be engaged in business planning, market research and related training and teaching.

Direction of employment. All kinds of enterprises and institutions: procurement management, chain management, logistics management.

Digitization of the procurement process.

The era of Internet + allows consumers to enter the "thumb" life and entertainment stage, simple, fast, efficient, and low-cost have become the reasons for the rapid development of the Internet, and the flexible chain of competitive environment fission, the electronic procurement process is an inevitable trend, from customer needs, product specifications, design and development, sample confirmation, process technology, business delivery, and performance feedback all display "one-screen" early warning, decision-making and processing, and effectively feedback to the team and personnel who respond.

Diversify the procurement products.

Social development, technological progress, industrial upgrading, consumption iteration, to meet the basic needs of the market economy for supply and demand competition after many years of economic development of the product more and more abundant, the competition is becoming more and more intense, will inevitably promote the market competition iteration, at present, to "fast fast, simple easy, cheap cheap, personality personal" market is increasingly presented, it forces enterprises to change the product production and realization mode.

Personalization and customization have gradually become a consumer trend (which is also the trigger point of industry), extending from the changeable personality market to the enterprise, and the dynamic market forces the enterprise to produce a flexible ** chain, which also leads to the inevitable diversification of future procurement products.

Standardization of procurement technology.

The non-professional background of the procurement profession will inevitably lead to the risk of the first, and face the sales of "like a wolf and a tiger, full of chicken blood" various "teasing", which will inevitably lead to non-professional performance and decision-making, and procurement performance will inevitably be affected.

Enterprises must establish a complete procurement manual, which systematically describes the procurement strategy, procurement process, procurement team, performance appraisal, value feedback, etc., explains the company's procurement rules, and goes deep into the daily work of the purchaser.

This is also the four-dimensional procurement organization construction proposed by the "Procurement OTEP Model", which constructs standardized and sunny procurement technology and specifications from the four dimensions of procurement spirit, procurement performance, procurement ethics and procurement organization.

The development trend of procurement management, in fact, will be more and more automated in the future, because in the future, these products will be automated on the Internet to do a unified law, and then according to the actual model of direct robot procurement.

The educational background required by buyers varies greatly, and most of them do not require special academic qualifications and degrees, but they need to be very familiar with the products that need to be purchased. For this industry, experience is more important than academic qualifications, and excellent buyers can be promoted to purchasing managers, purchasing managers can be transferred to marketing managers or operations managers, etc., or they can be promoted to procurement directors, or seek more competitive positions in other organizations.

According to the data analysis obtained from the development prospects of buyers, many state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises and joint ventures employ senior procurement talents every year. According to the new survey: ** procurement in 5 years to save more than 180 billion yuan.

That is, to create more than 180 billion yuan of wealth for the society, for every 1% reduction in procurement costs, sales revenue will increase by 16%, and corporate profits will increase by more than 20%. While the company is accelerating its development, it is in urgent need of this kind of talent.

Purchaser aims to cultivate internationally recognized procurement and management senior talents, is the United Nations tailor-made for developing countries, dozens of member countries jointly implement, its authority is recognized by the United Nations and the WTO, international acceptance. There is a shortage of talents with senior buyer certificates in China, and most enterprises are in urgent need of professional talents.

According to the data, all enterprises give a monthly salary of 3,000-4,000 yuan for the junior position of buyers, and it is very common for manager-level procurement personnel in large companies to have a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and the high can reach 20,000 yuan. European and American enterprises are more than 120,000 yuan; Shenzhen enterprises reached 10,000 yuan, leading the domestic counterparts. In the Chinese market, getting the highly authoritative "Buyer Professional Qualification Certificate" that meets the needs of the Chinese market represents attractive career prospects and rapid improvement of salary.

Personally, I think that the future development direction of BAI procurement and chain management should be to the whole process of electronic DAO

The development of informatization, informatization and automation, and the right to now have already shown this trend:

1. The five-year plan for electronic procurement has been determined;

2. The globalization and integration of the economy will inevitably lead to the globalization and integration of procurement, and the requirements for procurement efficiency, accuracy and automation (such as global time differences, etc.) will become higher and higher;

3. The rapid development of electronic and information management systems and software is more and more accepted and applied by many enterprises;

Wait a minute. Finally, there are different opinions on what school is better, and the natural judgments and conclusions of different personal development directions and understandings are also different, so I will not evaluate them here.

Above, please refer to.

You are in Shanghai, the degree of informatization of Shangbaohai is relatively high, and it is in line with international standards, I personally recommend you to develop in operation management, SCM is process control, and if you want to develop personally, you should develop to strategy. In particular, the content of your current work is itself process control, but you are just the executive layer.

The key to school is up to you, and the better schools need to have a high score. :) is it a mixed diploma or a knowledge? Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is a good example.
