The organization of logistics management is an importantthe moment in any economic system. Logistic system in its turn is characterized by complexity and integrity. Since logistics - the concept is very broad and capacious, allocate purchasing, distribution, production, information and transport logistics.
Since the main task of logistics is a comprehensivematerial flow management, a special role in this system is played by purchasing logistics, which manages material flows while providing the enterprise with the necessary material resources. Log material flow into the logistics system is carried out directly through the subsystem of procurement. That is why logistics at this stage is called that way, however, very often one can find the phrase "delivery logistics" or "procurement logistics".
So, procurement logistics - competent managementmaterial flows, ensuring the supply of material resources to the enterprise. The goal is the complete and adequate satisfaction of the needs of a particular production in materials with as much efficiency as possible. In order to correctly use the concept of logistics at the procurement stage, you need to be prepared for the fact that the philosophy of organizing the process of production of the final product, which must correspond to the current and potential demand, can change.
Логистическая система на любом предприятии должна to be conducted in accordance with one rule: the calculations of all the parameters of production and economic activity without exception must be carried out in the opposite direction. In this matter, procurement logistics resembles the model of industrial logistics, more precisely is its derivative. That is, the calculation of demand for purchases and the need for them should be carried out from the final product to raw materials, semi-finished products and materials.
Nevertheless, the principle of such informationthe counter-current does not mean that production and marketing completely control supply. They also affect the competitiveness of products, their quality and the formation of the assortment. This supply is the main source of information about the capabilities of suppliers and the market competitors.
There are certain logistical activities,which are associated with the management of procurement processes, which in principle are synonymous with the notion of "procurement procurement problems". Let's briefly consider the essence of each of them.
All these tasks must be combined in onepolicy of relations with suppliers. Purchasing logistics also deals with determining the optimal periodicity of supplies and the structure of material flows.
