The Study On Material Supplier Relationship Management In Construction Enterprise

With the economic globalization, the rapid development of the modern information technology and the transport industry, construction companies are no longer limited by geographic region. The geographical location of construction projects gradually expanded to the whole country and even abroad from the province. Competition in the construction industry has become increasingly fierce. At the same time, unstable building materials price, the high demands from consumers also brought great pressure to construction companies. In order to meet these challenges, construction companies need to improve their competitiveness and make full use of their internal and external resources. Material suppliers are important external resources, which are closely linked to construction cost. Therefore, construction companies pay more attention to it. Conventional materials supplier management focuses on materials price in order to reduce the cost of building products. Supplier relationship management is a new supplier management method, which advocates "win-win" business philosophy. It tends to establish different relationships with different types of suppliers and make long-term, stable and mutually beneficial relationship with some excellent suppliers to improve purchasing efficiency and reduce procurement cost. It helps construction enterprises obtain competitive advantage.According to the present research of supplier relationship management, this paper has studied construction material supplier relationship management from five aspects: the classification of supplier relationships, materials supplier relationship model, supplier evaluation, building supplier relationship and maintaining supplier relationship. The main research of this article is as followed.1. According to the characters of material suppliers in construction enterprise, supplier relationships are divided into four categories. The model of construction materials supplier relationship management is established. Then this paper designs the concrete implementation steps.2. This paper designs the supply chain contract between construction enterprises and the material suppliers and analyses the practical application.3. Supplier evaluation system based on relationship classification is built to ensure that the candidates belonging to different relationship categories have different evaluation index system.4. Performance assessment, information sharing and risk control are proposed to maintain and develop relationships between the construction companies and material suppliers.5. According to the research of this paper, rebar supplier relationship management in a real company is given.In this paper, literature research method, survey method, quantitative analysis and empirical research method are used to research the contents of the thesis. This study brings a new way to enhance the competitiveness of construction enterprises and establishes a systematic and feasible method to implement the construction material supplier relationship management.
