  • The Role of Supply Management in an OrganizationThe primary goals of purchasing are:Ensure uninterrupted flows of raw materials at the lowest total cost, Improve quality of the finished goods produced, and Maximize customer satisfaction. Purchasing contributes to these objectives by: Actively seeking better materials and reliable suppliers, Work closely with and taking advantage the expertise of strategic suppliers to improve quality and materialsInvolving suppliers and purchasing personnel in new product design and development efforts.2012 Cengage Learning.

  • The Role of Supply Management in an Organization (Continued)The Financial Significance of Supply ManagementProfit-Leverage EffectMeasures the impact of a change in purchase spend on a firms profit before taxes, assuming gross sales and other expenses remain unchanged. Or a decrease in purchasing expenditures directly increases profits before taxes (assuming no decrease in quality or purchasing total cost).Return on Assets (ROA) EffectIs a financial ratio of a firms net income in relation to its total assets. ROA indicates how efficiently management is using its total assets to generate profits. A high ROA suggests that the management is capable of generating large profits with little investment.2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

May originate as a planned order release from the MRP system. Traveling requisition used for repeating orders.Step 2- The Request for Quotation (RFQ) Buyer identifies suppliers and issues a request for quotation (RFQ) for routine items or a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a complicated and high technical component part. Supplier Development is used to develop supplier capabilities, quality, delivery and cost performance.Step 3- The Purchase Order (PO) It is the buyers offer and becomes a binding contract when accepted by supplier.
