Spend Matters welcomes this guest post from Ana Sofia Gómez, a manager atGEP.
在一个组织中,优化成本的挑战超出了通过采购函数获得市场的最优惠价格。挑战还涉及实施策略,或获取允许本组织改善流程管理的额外价值观和服务,并从这些改进中获益。通过制造公司,一个机会领域是库存管理。对于维护,维修和操作提供(MRO)采购领域,您可以支持库存维护和管理领域,以开发能够提供增值服务的供应商,帮助降低库存的成本并确保其供应。
寄售的概念已经存在了很长时间,并且是库存管理的良好机会。寄售库存是将货物托运到客户位置,直到使用或销售商品之前。该供应的供应允许客户将库存的成本转移到供应商,以便其库存成本较低,并没有支付库存,直到它使用。但是,即使它不是客户成本的一部分,客户也可能仍有责任进行一些库存管理。
This concept has evolved to another option in the market, known as vendor-managed inventory (VMI), which refers to a planning and administration system, and is not directly tied to inventory ownership. Under this concept, instead of being pending in the monitoring of what is required in the warehouse and having to worry about requesting orders, the supplier assumes the responsibility of this activity by having a connection to the customer database.
The advantages of this concept are:
- 改善客户服务。通过直接接收信息,供应商可以更有效地响应库存需求。
- Reduced uncertainty in demand. By monitoring inventory information and demand flows, unexpected or unplanned purchases can be forecast and decreased.
- Reduced inventory requirements. By knowing the customer's inventory volumes, the supplier can better plan its stock and contribute to customers not having unnecessary stock in their inventories.
- Contributes to reduced costsby efficiently buying and managing inventory processes.
虽然这两个概念都不是新的,但实施这些方法的挑战是许多组织没有良好控制他们的库存。那些负责他们的政府负责的人发现很难确定哪些物品以及在什么卷中谈判此类协议,并假设在未涵盖谈判期间犯下的卷的情况下的风险。它们是对本组织提供机会的策略,但与供应商良好的分析和谈判,以确定客户的项目,卷和责任,供应商对于成功实施这些类型的举措至关重要。
组织每天都更加迫切,以减少库存的价值观和水平,因为它们代表了公司拥有的最大的金融投资之一。减少库存水平不仅有助于优化成本,而且还使公司能够降低其资产营业额,同时改善投资回报率,从而提高了业务的价值。实施战略作为货物或VMI可以是贡献这一目标的替代方案。
