Chapter 268 Problems with the Purchasing Department
Everyone nodded and said they had received teaching.
"Teacher Yang said it very well. He knows purchasing more than those of us who have been purchasing for many years!" Xie Xiang flattered.
"Come on, I don't know others, don't you, Xie Xiang?" Yang Xingguo was not sensitive to Xie Xiang's flattery.
"Take me a look at the supplier assessment data!" Yang Xingguo said to Xie Xiang, and turned to the students and said, "The review of the supplier management line is nothing more than a review from the aspects of supplier selection, evaluation, login, procurement, performance appraisal, etc. After this review, the entire line is basically complete."
"That should be considered as the implementation of the entire process, right?" the Japanese asked.
"Yes, this is the part of the on-site review! If you want to see whether the supplier management is reasonable, then you have to see their documents. This part is usually completed during the document review stage." Yang Xingguo replied affirmatively, and he was also pleased that the Japanese got started so quickly.
"These are our assessment data last month. Teacher Yang, please help me take a look!" Xie Xiang finally found the supplier assessment data last month.
Yang Xingguo took the data sheet and read it very seriously.
"Suppliers' assessment is generally conducted from four aspects: quality, price, supply speed, and service attitude. In the actual procurement process, the quality data is provided by the quality department, and the price, supply speed and service attitude are generally filled by the procurement department itself. Therefore, everyone should pay special attention to the quality. The waiting speed data can be verified, and the evaluation of price and service attitude will be more subjective."
Lin Xiameng is indeed a top student, and immediately realized the implication of Yang Xingguo's dialect, "In other words, during the review process, we must check the quality data and supply speed, right?"
"It's not that you have to check. When you have questions, you can go to this line for review. If there is no doubt, then it won't be necessary." Yang Xingguo explained to Lin Xiameng.
"Teacher Yang, are there any problems with our purchasing department?" Xie Xiang became nervous at this time, and he naturally understood the meaning of the words.
Yang Xingguo shook his head and said, "There is no way to judge now. Why are you nervous?"
"I was shocked. Am I worried? Our company can't stand the tossing!" Xie Xiang was worried that his position would not be secured after a problem. You know, he now attaches great importance to this position.
Liu Laoer was silent for a long time and finally found an opportunity to express his opinion, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! Manager Xie, what are you afraid of?"
Xie Xiang gave Liu Laoer anger a blank look. How did this person speak? It seemed that he had made a mistake.
"Liu Laoer, what is the principle of independence of the auditor?" Yang Xingguo asked Liu Laoer coldly.
Independence? Isn’t it just not to participate too much in the internal affairs of the company?
Participating in internal things is the work that the consultant needs to do!
Liu Laoer touched his head in a bad mood and pulled a bitter face.
Xie Quanyou also made a face at Liu Laoer, which was so angry that Liu Laoer gritted his teeth. However, thinking of Yang Xingguo's "independence", he had to give up and dare not speak!
"Please take the feed and process inspection data from the quality department!" Yang Xingguo ordered Guo Manquan, but he was worried that Xie Xiang would go and get it.
Guo Manquan didn't understand why, but he cooperated very well and took it.
After a while, after a storm, Guo Manquan finally got the data he wanted.
Guo Manquan handed the materials to Yang Xingguo and said flatteringly: "Teacher Yang, this is the data you want!"
Yang Xingguo took it and started to look at the feed inspection data. After reading it, he looked at the process inspection data. As the data appeared one by one, his brows became tighter and tighter.
"Is there any problem?" Guo Manquan seemed to see that Yang Xingguo's expression was wrong and asked.
"Who is the procurement department now responsible for purchasing main materials?" Yang Xingguo asked.
"It's Xiao Yu!" Xie Xiang replied.
"Did you give him the order to reduce costs?" Yang Xingguo asked with a frown.
"Yes, the entire purchasing department issued this order. Is there anything wrong?" Xie Xiang was very puzzled. He was just executing the company's instructions.
"The execution of the instructions is not wrong, but the compression limit exceeds the standard. You can think from the perspective of others. What will happen if you are a supplier when you encounter customers' crazy price reduction?" Yang Xingguo asked everyone.
Xie Xiang is an old purchasing agent and he immediately understood, but he couldn't say that Guo Manquan was present.
"If there is no profit, either don't do it or just use inferior products as good ones!" Lin Xiameng added.
"That's right, you can check the quality report over the past three months. I wonder what you have found?" In order to let everyone understand, Yang Xingguo was also guiding him step by step.
"Oh, the monthly feed yield is declining!" The Japanese looked at it for a long time before slapping his head and said.
Did Xie Quan look at the feed inspection data? Instead, he took the process inspection report. After looking at it for a while, he also saw the clues and said, "No, the yield rate of this process has also decreased. Among them, the proportion of poor raw materials has increased. Is it because?..."
"That's right! The quality of the material is declining!" Yang Xingguo said affirmatively, "You can see how much the cost of scrapping has increased in the past three months?"
"3%!" Guo Manquan understood very well. He heard what Yang Xingguo meant and blushed a little. This was a low cost but his instructions were given by him.
"Did you see the key to the problem?" Yang Xingguo asked Guo Manquan with a serious look on his face.
"I can see that this is the supplier who is inferior to others!" Guo Manquan blushed.
Yang Xingguo shook his head and said, "No, it is because you are bluntly asking suppliers to reduce costs. It is correct to control costs, but you also need to give suppliers a certain profit margin, otherwise they will use inferior products as good ones, which will in the end lead to increased defective rates due to poor raw materials in the process, and the scrapped finished products are more valuable, which is not worth the loss!"
"Is this what is said in the classroom, "Is it a "mutually beneficial relationship with suppliers" one of the eight principles?" Lin Xiameng asked expectantly.
"Yes!" Yang Xingguo affirmed with a sensible look.
Guo Manquan and Xie Xiang suddenly realized that this cost control is not a blind command, and if it is not done well, there will be problems.
