The Procurement
by: Leon Chaddock
There are several things that are important about procurement that you should consider. In a business standpoint, timing is virtually essential. If you are like many business owners, the best time is the time when prices will be low enough to handle. This can be quite difficult to call and even more so, it will be difficult to manage. But, when procurement is used effectively, your business truly can reach new heights. What should you consider in procurement?

• You will want to consider the timing. If you take delivery of the product now, will you have to pay additional inventory costs? If you wait another week, will it be less likely to cost as much? This would be quite vital information in a large organization that is using procurement for large quantities of items.

• What about the cost? One of the most difficult things to call is pricing. Will it be lower today than it was yesterday? Or, will prices begin to rise soon? Knowing when to make your move is quite critical.

• Also, you’ll want to consider the procurement as in how much risk you are taking on. Companies that can not afford risk in finances shouldn’t look towards large, risking procurement options. Instead, a safer option is necessary. But, the opposite can be true as well.

• The bottom line in the procurement process is making decisions. In order for you to be effective at purchasing at the lowest prices at the right time, you need to be able to make a decision. Oftentimes people miss their chance because of the what ifs. In business, a what if will cost you big time.

Taking the time to analyze the procurement in order to determine whether or not it is a good move is up to you. You can find reasons to wait, of course, but if you are to get anywhere with the procurement, a decision to grab it and go with it has to be made as well.
