Understanding the vital role of the purchasing manager
November 18, 2013
A purchasing manager or buyer is often one of the most underrated and least understood positions in any company or organization. And yet, the purchasing manager and his or her team provides a service that is often the backbone of the company they work for. Hardly surprising, then, that the typical purchase-managers job is high energy, high pressure and, yes, highly stressful, too.
Typically, a purchase manager’s responsibilities will include:
• Finding suppliers to provide quality goods at reasonable prices
• Negotiating prices and contracts with suppliers
• Reviewing and checking for quality of raw materials and/or components
• Organizing the quantity and timing of deliveries
• Forecasting peaks and troughs in demand
A purchase manager will be dealing with one or more of the above tasks every day. Communication is key, and a good purchase manager will also be highly organized and have superior skills in prioritizing. Still, things can and do go wrong from time to time, and because of the large number of company departments the average purchase manager deals with, pressure can occasionally appear to be coming from all sides at once.
