2nd Saturday 'Practical Capital' Monthly Workshop Series
SEVEN Innovative Techniques to Streamline the Process of Procuring Routine Raw Materials : Much has changed in the world of purchasing over the last two decades. Globalization of supply chains, economic pressures to reduce prices and the need to manage procurement risks have all changed the responsibilities in the Procurement organization. Add to this an ever increasing work load driven by shorter product life cycles and more frequent new product introductions, and one can quickly understand why purchasing needs to find new methods for executing the routine activities of the purchasing process. Inventing time to focus on more important supply chain issues has become as important as reducing direct material costs.

The MRD is the Chief Forecastera ™s view into what will likely occur in the future, given the companya ™s resource focused on products and markets.

All forecast error eventually results in increased inventory error. When actual sales arrive at a rate less than the forecast, the result is residual inventory. Likewise, when actual sales outstrip the forecast, customers backorders result which almost always results in someone swearing to never let that happen again resulting in an increase in either safety stock or an arbitrary increase in forecasts. All of these actions ALWAYS result in increases in inventory, decreases in cash poor working capital metrics and an increase in the risk of the enterprise.
