Aim of the course

The main effect of the training is to learn how to implement the sourcing of raw materials, parts and the intermediates used in manufacturing enterprises.

Prerequisites

Production and Service Management, Operations Research.

Scope

Lecture

The essence and meaning of supply shopping. The basic functions of purchasing processes, that is, identification of the function and of the informative conditions of the processes of supply. Major phases of the flow of material. The design and construction of organisational infrastructure. Types of organisational structures. Centralised supply purchases, vis-à-vis the advantages and disadvantages of the centralisation of the purchase of supplies. Relations between the Supply Purchasing Department and other departments within the company. Internal organisation of the Supply Purchasing Department. Sourcing, in multi-factory enterprises. Economic and organisational conditions of supply chain management. Fundamentals of planning the supply of materials. System for planning the requirements of the quantities of materials –MRP. Tasks and structure of the MRP system. Operational objectives in the management of the purchase of supplies. Selection of sources of purchase. Styles and phases of negotiation in procurement processes. Traditional purchase procedures. Simplified purchase procedures. Special cases during the purchasing phase, namely, the group ordering of materials, price reductions, the inflation factor in purchasing policy, spare part purchases, discontinuity purchases and ‘just-in-time’ supply purchases. Research into the sourcing of supply of purchases.

Laboratory

Process engineering, based on the sourcing process. Computer simulation carried out using selected IT tools and balancing the requirements of the quantities of materials with planned or active production orders.

Teaching methods

Conventional lecture.

Laboratory, according to the assumptions of the subject of the course.
