Cost control in procurement management of petrochemical projects
ABSTRACT: Purchasing management is a key component of the normal operation of an enterprise, and it is also an important link to provide necessary building materials for engineering construction. Procurement management is of great significance for reducing project cost and ensuring the maximization of economic benefits for enterprises. Based on the project of Fujian United Petrochemical Ethylene debottlenecking in 2013, this paper analyzes the main factors affecting the cost control in the procurement management of petrochemical engineering projects in China, and expounds the countermeasures to strengthen the cost control in detail, combining the characteristics of the project, such as tight time, heavy task, wide coverage and large investment. Methods, hoping to enlighten and help the future development of petrochemical enterprises.
Key words: Petrochemical Engineering; project procurement management; cost control
With the increasing level of economic development, China's petrochemical engineering projects have ushered in the development of spring. Strengthening cost control in procurement is the key to reduce project cost and realize optimal allocation of funds. How to effectively improve the level of petrochemical project procurement management and reduce engineering costs has become a hot topic of discussion by relevant departments. In this paper, taking 2013 Fujian United Petrochemical Ethylene debottlenecking project as an example, some suggestions are put forward to strengthen the cost control in the process of purchasing and management of petrochemical engineering projects.
1. Main factors affecting cost control of petrochemical projects
1. design factors
For the oil optimization project, the design stage is not only the initial stage and the planning stage of its development, but also the key link to strictly control the cost of the project cost and ensure the quality of the construction. Generally speaking, the design stage plays a greater role in planning the selection of engineering building materials and manual deployment, laying a solid foundation for the formal construction of the project. When constructing the design plan, the designer should give full consideration to the economy, practicability, safety and feasibility. On the premise of guaranteeing the quality of the project, the project cost is saved as much as possible to lay the groundwork for further realizing the rational allocation of funds. The quality of the design scheme is directly related to the amount of petrochemical engineering investment and the level of construction, which has a great impact on the procurement management.
2. purchasing factors
Procurement is another key link in cost control of petrochemical projects. The purchase of cheap and high-quality building materials and equipment for the project has always been the focus of the procurement department. In order to purchase the quality of building materials, the price of building materials should be lowered on this basis, and the price trend of building materials market is clear by market research, and the " of each supplier is fully understood. &rdquo, the supplier of high reputation, good quality of building materials and fair price, is a long-term partner for further control. It lays the foundation for the cost of making the project. In addition, the purchasing department should strengthen the management of building materials equipment, try to avoid the damage to the building materials caused by the management negligence, and to ensure the cost control effect of the procurement management.
Two. Effective measures to strengthen the cost control of petrochemical engineering project procurement management.
1. according to the actual project, determine the purchasing model
Generally speaking, the project procurement mode should be based on the overall management mode of the project. The relevant departments should closely combine the actual project, fully consider the actual contract scope of the project, the length of the project time and the degree of technical complexity and so on, and take this as the basis to establish the purchasing model which is really conducive to the construction of the project, and lay a solid foundation for the further reduction of the cost of the project and the realization of the optimal allocation of funds. Taking the 2013 Fujian joint petrochemical ethylene debottlenecking project as an example, the initial planned investment of the project is about 6 billion 650 million RMB, which has the characteristics of tight time, heavy task, wide coverage and large investment. In this regard, the procurement management department of the project decided to adopt the project management model of E+P+C to achieve the goal of effectively reducing the cost of the project and achieving the maximum cost control of the procurement link.
2. make a scientific and reasonable cost budget
Strengthening the cost budget in procurement management is one of the main methods to control the cost of petrochemical engineering. In the cost budget, the petrochemical enterprises can effectively reduce the cost of the project and maximize the economic benefit by predicting the purchase cost ahead of time and the rational allocation of the funds. In the 2013 Fujian United Petrochemical Ethylene debottlenecking project, the total cost budget of the company is divided into two parts: the purchase amount of the reform link of the budget project is 2 billion 460 million RMB, the purchase amount of the overhaul project is 160 million RMB, which provides the necessary reference for standardizing the purchasing process and controlling the purchase.
3. strengthening the selection and management of suppliers
The supplier is the key link to ensure the construction of the project. In order to purchase the building material equipment with low price and guaranteed quality, the petrochemical enterprises should make full preparatory work before the formal purchase, grasp the market price of the building material equipment in time, and find out the " of the suppliers; the basic ” On the premise of ensuring the quality of building materials, the way of bidding and bidding is to find a long-term cooperative relationship between the suppliers of high reputation and fair price. At the same time, the purchasing personnel should strictly control the material quality, and try to avoid the damage to the building materials caused by the work error, to ensure the integrity and quality of each building material, and to lay a solid foundation for the construction work.
4. reasonable division of purchasing bag
— under the same circumstances, project procurement management should change along with the actual situation and process of the project. When the relevant departments are making the plan of purchase planning, we should start from the actual situation, take full account of the requirements of the project planning, classify, organize and merge the materials and equipment of the procurement, and make a strict purchase contract. In this process, attention should be paid to similar attributes of products and services grouped into a wholesale or other forms of preferential purchase, can further save costs. It can also classify items that need to be purchased centrally in the same area to reduce transportation costs and effectively optimize the allocation of funds.
5. estimate the risk of purchasing management
&mdash, under the same circumstances, petrochemical enterprises must strengthen procurement if they want to remain invincible in the fierce market competition.Manage the risk estimate work, improve the quality of building materials and equipment, reduce the probability of repairing the project, in order to achieve project cost control to do the necessary groundwork. Since 2011, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the 2013 Fujian joint petrochemical ethylene debottlenecking project, the company has continuously organized several professional discussion and business risk assessment activities of procurement management, and made a thorough and detailed discussion on the purchase risk, which has laid a solid foundation for the cost control of the procurement link of the ethylene debottlenecking project. Basics.
Concluding remarks
To sum up, in order to realize the cost control in the procurement link and provide the conditions for the optimization of the allocation of funds, the construction of petrochemical engineering must fully combine the actual project, determine the purchasing mode, make a scientific and reasonable cost budget, strengthen the selection and management of the supplier, estimate the risk of purchasing management and make rational use of it. Purchasing environment, in order to increase the competitive chips for petrochemical enterprises in the fierce market competition, to promote their healthy long-term development.
