The quality of the materials obtained for the production of goods is of great importance for the company since, according to the quality of its raw materials, it will result in a quality final product.
The purchasing department of a company is primarily responsible for ensuring that the materials obtained are of the highest quality and that they meet the specifications that the company requests.
The quality of the purchases includes the delivery time, which must be at the agreed time since failure to meet the delivery specifications causes a delay in production, which is lost for the company.
The quality of purchases is reduced to 3 points:
Buy the right product
Have stock available at the right time.
Pay the best price.
The quality must be expressed from the raw materials obtained to the final product, therefore, it is necessary to carry out adequate quality control
during the transformation process.
As for the specifications, it is necessary for the purchasing department to make the necessary specifications in the requirements that are delivered to the supplier since the more specific the requirement is in terms of the characteristics of the requested material, the greater the probability of obtaining the material with the desired and necessary characteristics.
For all the above, it is very important that the purchasing department makes an adequate selection of suppliers, since according to the relationship with the suppliers, it is how the specific material will be obtained, in the right time and with the right price.
In conclusion, the quality and specificity with which materials are obtained in a company is of great importance, since the quality of its raw materials determines the quality of its final product.
