User in an enterprise

The place production is directly material dependent e.g., on disturbances of the materials allocation threatens stop. Ranges such as research and development or the management do not fall so strongly important, here are other factors of production of greater importance. The decision, whether each the procurement can regulate individual or only certain places of an enterprise autonomously or whether this is settled over a central place "purchase", is a question of the organization. If the purchase is decentralized regulated, then the procurement chain looks as follows: Supplier - user - customer. With central purchase stock management, as border system, pushes itself between the suppliers and the user. The user becomes thus an internal customer in the enterprise and the procurement chain takes the following form: Supplier - stock management - user - customer.

If one considers the large rationalization and saving potentials (concentration of purchase power, easier need collection, lowering of the stocks, use of specialists, overview of the financial requirement improved, prevention of dubious actions"Â…) so the priority is to be given to a central procurement office. If it comes to an organizational separation of the users and procuring place, the general material-economical principles have to guarantee an order and a convergence between the different divisions. From the view of the users (e.g. the place "production") the supply security of fundamental importance, which will settle in a desire for larger camp, is large manufacturing lots is The financial system in contrast to it will aim at, to it will refer favorable purchase conditions to a lowering of the capital freeze in the supplies urge, that material costs must be determined and lowered substantially manufacturing costs.

The material-economical characteristics of the users are the need assortment (kind/quality), the demand quantity, mentioned material costs and conditions. The fact that the user can change its material-economical position not at will and/or by pre-aged arrangements is bound is beyond doubt. Thus or the type of organization of the manufacturing (--> type of manufacturing) the decisions of the user "production" e.g. determine the production program (kind, quantity, quality of the products). This does not mean however that all decisions over assortment, costs and quantity are extracted from the user.

The majority of the users bends to it, his need regarding quantity to overrate quality and the time. Once a user been entitled demand quantities of this as standard are often misunderstood and efforts of stock management for the lowering of the existence with Unwillen are pursued. The relations is not thus conflict-free between the different ranges and interests.

User-referred tasks are thus on the one hand the assortment decision and on the other hand the quantity decision. The necessary materials types and their quality are determined by the manufacturing process or also defaults of the construction. It applies to notice however procure-market-lateral chances: Is there other one, cheaper Is the use of alternative materials , Similarly to the paragraph-economical decision over the price lower bound, are price ceilings defined with the Are the quality requirements Decision making aids are the value analysis like also considerations regarding an assortment selection and in connection with it standardization, type clearance and use of CAD. The decision over the demand quantity usually refers to a certain consumption period. Users will be able to justify "their" quantities only if they are well justified and/or by defaults of the manufacturing are certain. Only so interventions of stock management/financial system are to be prevented.
