Research On The Problems And Countermeasures Of Indirect Materials Purchasing Management In Chinese Traditional Enterprises

In recent years,Chinese traditional enterprises have been in a critical period of “New Normal of Chinese Economy”.How to digest the excess capacity,reduce cost,enhance profitability and improve innovation ability has become an urgent problem to be solved.Purchasing is the origin of the supply chain,which accounts for 50%-70% of the total cost,coordinates resources at the core function,as well as links production and consumption,and plays an important role in cost saving.While indirect materials are not directly involved in the production nor contribute to profits,the percentage of its purchsing amount is lower than that of direct materials.Therefore,indirect materials have been ignored for a long time.With the fiercer competition,the purchasing management has become maturer,but the profit margin of direct materials has become smaller.Considering the facts above,indirect materials purchasing management has become more important.On the basis of theoretical knowledge and practical experience,this paper takes indirect materials purchasing management as the research object,expounds the research background by using PEST analysis method,analyzes all the existing problems of indirect materials purchasing management in Chinese traditional enterprises,and puts forward the corresponding countermeasures from the theoretical aspect and the practical aspect respectively.First,for the problem that evaluation methods and indexs are too extensive and simple,the countermeasure is to improve the traditional indirect materials purchasing evaluation methods,and use the scientific and practical quantitative tool to locate indirect materials.By constructing the indirect materials purchasing location model of Kraljic matrix and principal component analysis,and comparing with the traditional ABC classification method,this paper carries empirical analysis on the indirect materials purchasing raw data of B company,and discusses the location and strategies selection issues of indirect materials purchasing,in order to verify the effectiveness and practicability of the indirect materials location model.Second,for the problem that current process can not meet the needs of informationalized purchasing,the countermeasure is to design a set of optimization scheme according to the traditional indirect materials purchasing business process,which can adapt to not only times development but also traditional enterprises.Based on the practical experience of indirect materials purchasing management and business process optimization theory,this paper optimizes the key process nodes under the E-procurement model,introduces the new Internet technologies that provides a new way for information construction of the enterprises,and proves the feasibility and generalizability of the optimization scheme by feasible analysis.When facing up to the importance of indirect materials in cost saving,a scientific and quantitative method to locate the type of materials by improving traditional indirect materials purchasing evaluation methods,and a set of business process optimization scheme based on the E-Procurement model,have a very important strategic significance to promote indirect materials purchasing management of Chinese traditional enterprises.
