As a buyer of a carton company or a person in charge of the purchasing department, the price of raw materials should be very sensitive and important. From south to north, there is a slight difference between the carton enterprises. In eastern China, the purchase of raw materials by carton companies accounted for Some 70% to 75% of the total purchases are even more intense compared to southern China.
Therefore, reducing the procurement costs of raw materials has become the top priority of the company. The work of the purchasing department is of utmost importance to reduce procurement costs. Here's a brief introduction to my tips on raw material procurement.
Seasonal purchasing strategy
The entire carton industry has a "cool winter and cool summer" situation. In other words, the winter business of the carton company is better than the summer season. Therefore, this phenomenon also exists in the supply and use of raw materials. The price of raw materials will fall in the summer and autumn, and the prices will also be higher, especially high-grade base papers. Level boxboards, high-strength corrugated paperboards and other prices have fallen even further. The price of raw materials will increase in the winter and spring.
Therefore, carton manufacturers should generally estimate the amount of raw materials they use before they reach the winter season, and purchase one-time-use raw materials for three to four months at a time to prepare for full inventory preparation. The advantage of adopting seasonal strategy procurement is that the price of raw material procurement is relatively low. There is a clear advantage in the competition with peer companies, but the key is that procurement personnel should be able to well grasp the business changes of the company.
Cooperate with suppliers to develop new types of base paper
Suppliers will improve the physical properties of their base papers before delivery. We can make base papers based on feedback from suppliers on the physical performance and usage.
Our company has a relatively successful case in this regard. In the procurement of whiteboard papers, it not only meets the requirements of customers, but also the purchase price has dropped by 40. RMB/ton. The company saved millions of purchase costs.
Our experience is that the physical performance indicators of the proposed product are generally not produced before. If the customer performs production according to the physical performance indicators we propose, it is bound to adjust his raw material formula. Similarly, the price of base paper will also have a big drop.
The advantage of this raw material procurement method is that the purchase price of raw materials has been greatly reduced. It has increased the competitiveness of enterprises. It has helped suppliers develop a new type of base paper and carton companies have also used such raw paper to walk in the front-end guidance of the industry. The key to the development of the use of raw materials in the industry lies in the grasp of the performance of the carton.
