Research On Purchase Cost Management Of Manufacturing Enterprise Base On Supply/Demand Chain

As the development of the model of enterprise management, the existence and the development of modern manufacturing industry can not get away from its related environment of supply/demand chain. While purchase cost is one of the most important item in the total cost of manufacturing enterprise. Thus, purchase cost management should be carried out from the angle of supply/demand chain. Suppliers are the members who are directly related to manufacturing enterprise in supply/demand chain, so the problems of evaluating and choosing strategic cooperation partners together with managing the relationship are significant. The neglect of other factors in supply/demand chain, nevertheless, would take negative influence on purchase cost management.On the basis of other research, the dissertation proposes to broaden the scope of purchase cost management from suppliers to internal and exterior supply/demand chain, and then focus on purchasing from strategic angle. That is cooperation colleagues should be established with suppliers and customers in exterior supply/demand chain, while communication should be kept with all the other departments which join in one of the phases for the whole life cycle of production in internal supply/demand chain, like design department or production deportment. Thus, manufacturing enterprise would manage the purchase cost from both internal and exterior supply/demand chain. The paper starts with research background in part one, and then the concepts of purchase management and supply/demand chain management. By carrying the supply/demand management out on the basis of purchase management, this thesis puts forward the model of purchase management base on supply/demand chain, and then clarifies its definition and characteristics. Based on the above theories, the research defines the model of purchase cost management base on supply/demand chain in this dissertation according to subject of the research. The model brings purchase cost predominance for manufacturing enterprise from long-term and systematic position by means of establishing information database for supply/demand chain, setting up cooperative team with suppliers and customers, and focusing on whole life cycle cost of productions with all the other internal departments. Finally, a case of QR enterprise is offered in part four, which shows that how to put the model of purchase cost management base on supply/demand chain into practice, and proposes suggestion for QR enterprise.Aim at the problem of to be scanty of cooperation in purchase management for manufacturing enterprise in our country, the paper points out that none of the work could be finished well without cooperation colleagues in such intense competition. The neglect of customer or information communication with other departments of the enterprise would take negative effect on purchase cost management. Therefore, manufacturing enterprise in our country should take all the factors of internal and exterior supply/demand chain into consideration to bring best purchasing achievements and superior competitive position.
