The focus of the work of the enterprise procurement system.

In the environment of socialized large-scale production and commodity economy, procurement is an important part of the production and operation activities of industrial and commercial enterprises. Enterprises are increasingly dependent on procurement, which not only affects the normal business activities of enterprises, but also plays an extremely important role in improving the competitiveness of enterprises, reducing business risks and realizing various economic indicators of enterprises. Practice has proved that the scientific and advanced nature of the enterprise procurement model (system) is the key factor that determines the survival of the enterprise. With the increasingly fierce competition in the market, in order to expand market share and maintain the best commodity advantage, enterprises have higher and higher requirements for procurement, focusing on the following aspects:

1. With the application of advanced production methods such as agile manufacturing, procurement activities are required to better adapt to the business mode of enterprises, meet the needs of continuous adjustment of business activities, and accelerate the procurement speedTimelinessMore and more important;

Difficulties in the work of enterprise procurement system.

Compared with the modern procurement model, in the traditional procurement mode, the administrative procurement work of enterprises has the following problems: 1. The procurement process relies too much on manual work. Procurement behavior can not form a unified management procedure, consumes a lot of time and labor costs, and at the same time due to the slow response speed, it is difficult to grasp the rapidly changing product information, business information and market in a timely manner, and the procurement of both sides can not carry out effective information communication, and become mutually blocked;2. There is no objective measurement standard for the relationship with the best businessmen. In the face of the changeable market, although the company attaches great importance to the development of strategic partner alliances, but some procurement personnel are still friction with the first business, the relationship between supply and demand is temporary or short-term cooperative relations, and more competition than cooperation, the lack of development of new qualified business channels, even if to find a new qualified business, the cost of business conversion is relatively high;

3. Single procurement method. It is difficult for traditional procurement to adopt different procurement methods according to different commodities, so it is difficult for enterprises to use appropriate procurement strategies to obtain more discounts and reduce the cost of purchasing goods4. The procurement process and expenses are unreasonable. The procurement process is approved at all levels, too cumbersome, procurement information is not shared, there are often independent procurement and unapproved procurement, the procurement process is not transparent, and the human factor is difficult to eliminate, resulting in low procurement efficiency5. It is difficult to summarize and analyze the procurement data of enterprises. Due to the lack of systematic management and control of procurement, it is difficult to carry out forward-looking procurement, and it is not conducive to the control of unexpected problems in procurement, and is not conducive to the control of safety stock.
