Suppliers
Genuine Cooperation is EssentialWe are committed to the practice of creating value and customer satisfaction.
In achieving this, we place great deal of importance in providing value products that are of high - quality, cost- effective and have competitive advantages for our customers and for the end - users.
Also, delivering the desired satisfaction more effectively and efficiently than our competitors is utmost crucial for us.We believe that all the companies in an industry's value chain must work together sincerely in order to improve the critical success factors in each of set of value - adding activities.
This cooperation will, in turn, be beneficial for everyone in the overall value chain.
Therefore, we endeavour to create strategical alliances / partnerships with our suppliers, who provide their products and services to us, rather than simply seeking to obtain the highest quality merchandise or service at the lowest possible purchase cost. What Our Suppliers can expect from ourselvesIn close consultation with our customers, we determine which products or services are the best; the attributes of these products or services; and actual needs and wants of the end - users.
Further, a thorough analysis of marketing opportunities, which mainly involves with marketing research and information systems is essential for our understanding of the consumer and business buyer behaviours.
Only after such analysis, we are able to do the measuring and forecasting the demand as well as determining market segments, the need for product development, market positioning and placement of the products. How we evaluate suppliers and place ordersIn finding the suitable supplier, we initially search for those suppliers that provide the same or similar products or services.
Then, we locate the value suppliers and negotiate the lowest value (that is the lowest price for a determined quality).
At the same time, we ensure that our prospective supplier can provide the correct amount and attributes of the product or service at the appropriate time.
Finally, we choose one of the suppliers.In order to accomplish these tasks successfully, we study sales records and current and forecasted stock levels, identify foreign and domestic suppliers, and keep abreast of changes affecting both the supply of and demand for products and materials that we focus on.Emporium - Direct evaluates suppliers based upon price, quality, service support, availability,reliability, and selection.
To assist our search efforts, we review catalogues, industry periodicals, directories, trade journals, and internet sites.
We research the reputation and history of the suppliers and may advertise anticipated purchase actions in order to solicit bids.
At meetings, trade shows, conferences, and visits to suppliers’ plants and distribution centres, we examine products and services, assess a supplier’s production and distribution capabilities, and discuss other technical and business considerations that influence the purchasing decision.
The flow of work— or even the entire production process — can be slowed or halted if the right materials, supplies, or equipment are not on hand when needed. To be effective, we ensure that our working technical knowledge of the goods or services that we purchase is kept abreast.Once all the necessary information on suppliers is gathered, we make a short list of the most eligible suppliers and assess their merits in consultation with themselves.
When we eventually find a suitable supplier, we simply share the information that we gathered regarding the market to develop the prospective marketing mix.
We value the opinions and industry experiences of our suppliers and encourage them to input their opinions in regards to our marketing plans.If there would be a need or opportunity for product development, our prospective supplier and ourselves need to ensure the value product or service is received at the appropriate time, as per the agreed specifications, with the correct amounts and attributes.
Then orders are placed and contracts are awarded to those suppliers who meet our predetermined needs of the prospective marketing mix.First orders: The more complex or critical purchasesWe usually handle the more complex or critical purchases by ourselves.
This is also and especially so for the first orders of any kind.
We may supervise a group of purchasing agents handling for the other simpler purchases of goods and services.
We increasingly involve at most stages of product development because of our ability to forecast a part’s or material ’s cost, availability, and suitability for its intended purpose.
Furthermore, potential problems with the supply of materials may be avoided by consulting us in the early stages of product design.
