industries has turned to be uneconomical and unsuccessful significantly. So,
the aim of this write-up is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the impact
of purchasing management in a manufacturing industry. The objectives of this
study is primarily to highlight the roles, problems and the foreseeable
prospects of purchasing management, especially, in manufacturing industry of a
prospective buoyant and dominant economy and to look into the activities of the

INTRODUCTION
Purchasing management: as a
new profession is maiden to other professions like; Accounting, Marketing,
Banking, Business Administration, Law and so on hence, its difficulty in
acceptance in most organization today. Most practitioner in this field are
non-professional and therefore do not know the principles and techniques
involved in purchasing. The trained professionals are now finding it difficult
because their positions have been occupied by people in Administration Accounting
and other allied professions. To be a practicing purchaser one has to be
trained in the arts and science of buying, it is only by this, that one can
contribute effectively to the practicability of the organization.
In -most organization today,
the cost of materials is the last remaining cost that is actually variable as
all other costs are either fixed or tend to be semi fixed. Reduction in the
cost perse would clear after the opportunity for profit improvement especially
when material cost in a typical manufacturing .company represents more than 50%
of total cost.
In order to
realize all material cost
factors, there must be a well coordinated and controlled system oriented
material management department. Many people, even in other disciplines, think
that buying is the same thing as purchasing.
Buying is, however, not the
same as purchasing. Buying covers examining and auctioning purchase
requisitions, obtaining quotations. Quotation analysis, purchase order or
contract and ensuring that the company's specification are metby the
suppliers.Buying is a state of balance concept. Industrial buyers have often
faced those who say that job of a purchaser is where many suppliers will be
eliminated and replaced, few may be retained based on their performance
Other areas include; variety
reduction, standardization, suppliersmarket research, pricing research,
measuring and monitoring supplier performance. (supplier rating) and ensuring
a. high degree of effectiveness in managerial performance.
However,
purchasing takes place in diverse circumstances and in various undertakings in
both the private and public sectors of the economy. The term
"purchasing" is widely used in private sector, purchasing management
include buying, interviewing, salesman negotiating with vendors, analysis bids,
making, awards, selecting suppliers, issuing purchasing orders, making adjustments
with suppliers and keeping appropriate records.
