RATIONALIZATION OF PROCUREMENT LOGISTICS ON THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY EXAMPLE

Abstract

The focus of this work is to explore options for rationalization of the supply process. The entire research and later the implementation of the proposed solution was carried out at a manufacturing company. This work first outlines the basic characteristics of the logistics system and the functions that this system realizes in a company. Subsequently, trends in logistics with a focus on procurement logistics are described. The goal of supply process rationalization is to reduce the overall costs of procurement, improve the process and significantly improve individual business performance. All analysis was made on the basis of existing supply chains, and the results of the survey are presented in tables and graphs. Following the analysis, the weaknesses of the supply chain were identified and solution for weak points elimination is suggested. In a relatively short period of time, this solution should lead to a significant improvement in business performance. At the end of the work, the effects of the applied solution are analyzed through a comparison of measurable indicators of supply chain - state of supply chain before the applied solution and after the applied solution.
