What to prepare for the future.

Procurement of career development goals personally feel that there are three main categories:
1 purchasing director, director of supply chain, and procurement related functions of the manager, etc.. Why not write it around because of occupation managers, do purchasing director more, some Title have been VP and director of global procurement, but after all, or purchasing director, do is supply chain, did not reach the standard of occupation managers.
2 your own business, factory, trading company. After all, in an industry veteran of years, contacts, industry, talent, funds all together, began their careers, all kinds of rich life experience sour, sweet, bitter, hot, but, often, Yiming cupola.
3 to do a big consulting industry, consulting, white-collar, Jinling, access to a variety of high-grade buildings, professional PPT, out of the mix, depend on the brain, by mouth, hands.
Back to the reality as a purchase, doing a line of love a line of professional line, the ability to buy what you need. I talked about Xu
Occupation skill is mainly around the five targets (Quality, QCDSL, Cost, Delivery, Service, Legal) in order to achieve the 5 goals we must have strong curiosity, enough patience, logic and thinking to learn knowledge, this classification is not fixed, often you have me I have you, but this is me in practice, more effective method for me
1 familiar with their own company or their own procurement of products. Starting from the raw materials, processing technology, to the inspection and acceptance.
What is the use of raw materials, bought what performance, alternative, there is no need for raw materials to recommend the company to do long-term, need delivery and to assist suppliers, how many products to the commercial supply of raw materials and so on.
Processing technology: what is the product of the process, can not be replaced, spare. Design is not in line with the characteristics of the process of defects, the need for feedback and coordination, processing equipment used is what, why so type selection, there is no more way.
Detection: the use of what kind of tools, products to achieve what kind of accuracy, what kind of process control to achieve such a requirement. Products in the transport and other links which can change the quality of the property must pay attention to. In particular, exports to India and other places of the product, be careful and careful.
According to their own products to the supplier can make a classification, which is the bottleneck of the strategic supplier, supplier, leverage supplier, general supplier, on the basis of each type can be classified (Preferred Suppliers), the preferred supplier of supplier (Provisional Suppliers) and negative (Exit Passive), positive knockout (Exit Active) and the elimination of uncertain identity provider (Undetermined). Of course not each of these types are included in this. So for different vendors can use different strategies, my advice is of course no matter to the class, honest, pragmatic business is fundamental.
2 familiar with the quality and plant management related to all.
This includes the lean, 6 Sigma, SPC and other tools, tools are used in order to better grasp the regularity of things and find the essence of the problem, in order to continue to progress.
Lean rough point that is suitable for 4 and 4 proper coordination between the appropriate items at the right amount at the right time at the right place, followed by the overall monitoring of these four appropriate improvements.
6 Sigma is about DMAIC, Define, Measure (definition) (measurement), Analysis (analysis), Improve (improved), Control (Management), involving each to a variety of methods, such as how to define the problem, validity of the data in the process of measurement, analysis in the process of brainstorming, coordinate the interests of use the improvement process of tools and other departments, and finally maintain that an improved management methods to.
SPC is to use data statistics and analysis of the method to engage in the former, in the matter, after the event to ensure product quality.
There are other ways, such as 5S.
The whole process in order to improve the efficiency of quality assurance. Breadth of knowledge.
3 logistics, inventory, planning, foreign trade import and export, etc.. About this I will have to mention the know MJ spoon, speak often dry cargo.
Logistics refers to the shallow meaning of logistics, single refers to the packaging and transportation, which is related to various types of packaging, transport turnover box, folding box, etc., forklift truck, transport vehicles tonnage, traffic time scheduling, etc..
Inventory and planning, the main problem is the occupation of funds, the problem involves JIT, lean procurement plan, lead time, replenishment cycle. Refer to the MJ spoon on the " this is to say that the first oil warehouse management, but also do not talk about the Treasury to move, not high-end, inventory is a major event, to be repeated. In a word, is the capital occupied. And then the fearless entrepreneur, also have to worry about inventory. You should be too lazy to say too thin, it is looking for a shortcut, continue, do not bother, Foxconn, ZARA and Coca-Cola, also draw a picture, it is best to curve wave line, do not engage in a horizontal line, to the dead. Draw the map, to inventory, to echo with the purchasing lead time, there must be replenishment cycle. Suggest speaking ZARA example, there must be a Uniqlo control, Me& and City to Latin American nations; sharedzilla, Lining and Jinjiang also spray a few better. "
Knowledge of foreign trade
To understand the art of customs, all kinds of professional terms, such as B/L Bill of Lading B/R bill of lading price Buying Rate. CIF cost, insurance and freight paid to (… … named port of destination). There are a lot of, you can find the relevant books to mix a face cooked.
There is a need to accumulate, what can be imported, what can not be imported.
4 communication with suppliers, negotiation, contract management, etc.
First there is a question, why do you want to negotiate? Are all in order to strive for their own interests to maximize. Purchase haveWhat interests? Wumart price fast service. What are the benefits of the supplier? Business more profitable high turnover. Good, so that the interests of all aspects of the clear. But this is not enough, although they know their own interests, but the interests of their own, the other is not known, but there are other information asymmetry, such procurement constitute the premise of the negotiations. When face the things on the table, began a part of mutual information asymmetry, game of mutual interest.
For the procurement negotiations, we must first know their negotiating objectives, goals, conception goal, realistic goals, know the bottom line and the ideal state of their own, in the framework of the operation began to explore the bottom line of other words, understanding the differences between the two sides, seek win-win situation, sometimes the recommended to see the relevant contents of NLP, or ancestors the wisdom of the art of war, thirty-six. Understanding human nature and understanding the needs of human nature, this is a very important content. In the consensus reached between the two sides signed a contract, the signing of the contract also involves a lot of content, more research in the past model of the contract, there is the best way to find the path of the peer contract. It's important to learn more.
5 Financial
Some people may feel that the use of financial, financial to allow you to increase the added value of all aspects mentioned above. The most direct is the tax, how reasonable tax avoidance? And finance will help you to understand the suppliers, reduce the risk of the supply chain, and avoid the. A total of three financial functions, 1 response to the economic health of the enterprise, that is, the blood system. 2 management and supervision function to ensure the health of blood. 3 implementation of the capital operation, the general and the procurement is not related. There are a few blocks is more important, the first is the tax, value-added tax, including sales tax, income tax, especially those able to deduct. There are additional tax on business taxes, which can be reasonably avoided. For this supplier, to be able to look at the report, the supplier's ability to repay the debt, cash flow, etc..
Knowledge of the part of the talk, which is the goal, and then talk about how to get knowledge, how to enhance their competitiveness in the procurement of professional way. All from the students, there is an experience, that is, such as the two days of the exam, you will do? Must be picked up the book review, I would like to say that the focus is not on the Raiders, but in the examination. Examination can let you pick up the books, is a good way to solve the self-control. And examination of the knowledge structure of the comparison system.
Here are some of the more well-known international certification exams on the supply chain. Can refer to.
APICS-CSCP/CPIM-www.apics.org
ISM-CPSM-www.instituteforsupplymanagement.org
ASTL-CTL-www.astl.org (has been acquired by APICS)
Level-SPSM-www.nextlevelpurchasing.com Next
CSCMP-SCPro-cscmp.org
CIPS-www.cips.org
ILT-www.cltc.net (logistics)
Above these are the personal feeling of high gold content of the certificate. If it is recommended to do the procurement, CPSM test, and then test the high-end CSCP or CPIM examination, a good review, the examination fee is shining white silver.
Knowledge is ready, the certificate is ready, and the rest of the work on the development of the field depends on the individual mentality and will, there is luck.
