Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Procurement respectively procurement management in companies has received a significant boost in importance in recent years. The increasing outsourcing of services to suppliers and the simultaneous commissioning of international suppliers have changed the tasks and professional profile of buyers in terms of their contribution to corporate value creation. Without procurement management (purchasing management), corporate strategies and the achievement of sustainable competitive advantages can no longer be achieved. Procurement has become a central success factor in the company. Thus, the knowledge of procurement management and the skills of the buyers form an essential pillar for entrepreneurial decisions and strategies. Knowledge of the basic interrelationships of procurement management is and will be a natural part of any training and further education. This book provides a fundamental contribution by showing and explaining the central elements and interrelationships. It is suitable for the introduction to procurement management and therefore a helpful reading for students and practitioners.
Download or read book Global Purchasing and Supply Management written by Victor H. Pooler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-19 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving the promise of e-business Two divergent approaches exist in purchasing and supply management organizations today, which give at least the perception of conflicting direction: 1. Some organizations, counseled by consultants and e-procurement software suppliers, but without a clear understanding of current actual procurement processes, have implemented expensive systems with the expectations of tremendous savings and spectacular supply chain improvements. The results often haven’t lived up to the claims. 2. Many buyers and purchasing managers, failing to grasp the potential benefits from e-procurement, have resisted change, and not given their full support to system improvements. Those who have delayed have missed the opportunities of vastly improved processes and supplier contributions. Both have valid viewpoints, but neither has delivered on the true promise of supply chain improvements, so the lessons of this book should benefit both. Active supporters of e-procurement can benefit from understanding the “nuts and bolts” approach to the fundamental supply management processes in a global context. Moreover, buyers and their managers with a better vision of the future will be better prepared to adapt to and support the needed changes.

Download or read book Procurement Management written by Irfan Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public procurement has emerged in recent years, as a complex function that utilizes a great amount of public fund. Undeniably, public procurement has become a multifaceted system that consists of procurement laws and regulations, procurement processes (from approvals, appropriations, invitation to bid, bidding process, to contract award, and contract administration, etc.), Procurement methods (from open competitive bidding, pre-qualification to alternate methods of procurement etc.), procurement techniques (life-cycle costing, evaluation, negotiations, etc.), procurement organizational structure (procuring agencies, user departments), procurement professionalism (procurement offices and workforce).The public procurement function becomes further intricate when public procurement, becomes a policy tool due to the size of its spending. The policy makers use this tool to address community issues, environment protection (green procurement) and economic development (including local preferences). These policy apprehensions have made procurement practices thornier. Constantly changing global environment has further convoluted public procurement as procurement officers have to comply with international trade agreements along with national procurement legal framework.Consequently, there was a dire need of a textbook on procurement management to enhance the skills of procurement professionals and to update them with the advanced practices in procurement arena. This need, I presume, has been fulfilled to a great extent by publication of the two volumes of "Procurement Management".The second volume of "Procurement Management" covers the practical aspects of procurement practices. A number of chapters elucidate eloquently, varied areas of procurement management, which in consequence, will help to clear the concepts of procurement professionals.The decision of selection of a procurement method is often regarded as the key decision in the procurement planning process and is one of the mandatory requirement in the annual procurement plan.There are many methods which can be adopted and certain circumstances are particularly appropriate to each procurement method for procurement of goods, services and works. The precise selection of procurement method at the beginning of the procurement activity is therefore a significant aspect in the success of the procurement process as incorrect choice of procurement method may have an adverse effect on the bidding process.
Download or read book Conception for Procurement Excellence written by Willi Darr and published by tredition. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is Procurement Excellence of procuring companies which is deemed a highly relevant topic out of two reasons. Firstly, corporate procurement, respectively purchasing management has witnessed a significant boost of importance over the last years. Increased outsourcing of services to suppliers and, simultaneously, commissioning of international subcontractors, have heavily altered the responsibilities and job description of purchasers with regards to their contribution to the company's added value. Additionally, product developments along (global) supply chains are growing steadily. On the other hand, digitalization displays future-oriented alternatives for corporate added value and hence provides fundamental opportunities and necessities to reach and sustain (global) competitiveness. Logically, these developments shape the quality of procurement and its processes to suppliers. Only an excellent purchasing department can be an authentic success indicator within a company. This book focuses on the two pillars of Procurement Excellence. To do so, a conception for categorizing and controlling purchasing performances, and a conception for categorizing digitalization will be illustrated in order to make differentiated statements regarding Procurement Excellence. Its two related dimensions will be merged within a final overall statement regarding Procurement Excellence.

Download or read book Advanced Public Procurement as Industrial Policy written by Gunnar Eliasson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about the macroeconomic effects of positive externalities or industrial spillovers around advanced production. The case explored is the “technology di- dend” around Swedish aircraft industry, and in particular around the aircraft ma- facturer Saab, and the major industrial project of the JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft. The project is partly an updating of my book (in Swedish) Technology 1 Generator or a National Presige Project from 1995, but extends the analysis in s- eral directions. The study includes a chapter on spillovers from advanced production in an industrially developing economy, South Africa, that has acquired the JAS 39 Gripen for its Air Force. There is also a chapter in which the results for Sweden are discussed in the wider context of advanced public procurement in Europe. The text has been organized such that the main chapters have been written for academic readers. Two supplements include the technical details of data collection, mathematical models, and calculation methods. The first chapter is brief and focused on the results. It has the character of an extended executive summary. The second chapter summarizes the entire story; problems, results, and methods. This project would not have been possible without the generous support of a number of people. First of all great thanks go to all those people with crowded calendars in Swedish industrial firms that have set aside time to respond to my questions. Most of them have been listed at the end of the book.
