PART 1 INTRODUCTION
Study unit 1Introduction to purchasing and supply chain management
Explain and illustrate the following concepts of purchasing and supply management:
Purchasing: is the systematic process of deciding what, when and how much to purchase, the act of purchasing it and the
process ensuring that what is required is received on time in the quantity and quality specified.
Strategic purchasing: is the process of planning implementing evaluating and controlling strategic and operating decisions for
directing all activities of the purchasing function towards opportunities consistent with the firm’s capabilities to achieve its long-
term goals
Supply management: is like a management function…is the identification, acquisition, access, positioning and management of
resources and related capabilities and organization needs or potentially needs in the attainment of its strategic objectives.
Supply chain management: SCM is a management philosophy aimed at proactively integrating and coordinating a network (or
web) of upstream linkages (sources of supply), internal linkages (inside the organization, according to the value chain approach)
and downstream linkages (distribution and ultimate customers) in performing specific key business processes and activities that
will ultimately create and optimize value for the customer in the form of products and services specifically aimed at satisfying
customer demands and expectations.
Value chain: Interlinked value-adding activities that convert inputs into outputs which, in turn, add to the bottom line and help
create competitive advantage. A value chain typically consists of inbound distribution or logistics, manufacturing operations,
outbound distribution or logistics, marketing and selling and after-sales services. These activities are supported by purchasing or
procurement, research and development, human resource development and corporate infrastructure.
Extended value chain: multiples levels of suppliers and customers form the extended vale chain concept which states that
success is a function of successfully managing a linked group of firms past first level suppliers or customers
Supply chain: The supply chain is a network of organizations that are involved, through upstream and downstream linkages, in
the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services that satisfy the ultimate customers‟
needs.
Supply chain vs value chains
Supply chains is a set of 3 or more organizations linked directly by one or more of the upstream or downstream flows of product,
services, finances and information from a source to the customer. It is important to acknowledge that anytime business is
conducted a supply chain will exist.
Value chains The process or activities by which a company adds value to an article, including production, marketing, and the
provision of after-sales services. Includes support activities. Composed of primary and support activities‟ that can lead to a
competitive advantage when configured properly.

Why Purchasing Is important/The importance of effective purchasing in an organization PAGE 8
• Increased value and savings – As companies struggle to increase customer value by improving performances, many
companies are turning their attention to purchasing and supply management. The impact suppliers can have on the firm’s
total cost. The supply base is important part of the supply chain. Supplier capabilities can help differentiate a producer’s
final good or service, increasing their value to the final customer.
• Building relationships and driving innovation – Building relationships to jointly reduce costs of the product and
service (P&S) and in turn the supplier contributes innovative ideas that add value to P&S
• Improving Quality and reputation – outsourcing, relationships - firms are looking to outsource to concentrate on areas
of specialization and competence
• Reducing time to market – early including of suppliers and engineers to improve product and process design
• Managing supplier risk- such as poor-quality natural disasters and high transport costs
• Generating economic impact – ISM report on business - purchasers have the power to move financial markets
