Syfte

An increasing portion of the total spending of manfuacturing- and service-based organisations resides outside their boundaries, and hence their direct control. Their cost efficiency, ability to innovate, and value propositions to customers depend upon the way purchasing processes are organised, and on relationships with suppliers. As consequence, a key foundation of success is the way an organisation manages its relationship with external suppliers of goods and services. The aim of this course is to provide students with an appreciation and understanding of key principles and theories of purchasing and supply management, and the role of this in the particular organisation. This takes place in a wider context of global complex supply chains.

Innehåll

This course adapts the following definition of purchasing management:
Purchasing management refers to all activities necessary to manage supplier relationships in such a way that their activities are aligned with the company's overall business strategies and interests. It is focused on structuring and continuously improving purchasing processes within the organization and between the organization and its suppliers (van Weele, 2010:11). The term supply management underlines the inter-organisational nature of these tasks as well as their potential strategic impact. The various teaching and learning activities address the following:
  • Role and relevance of purchasing in the 21st century organisation
  • Organising for effective purchasing performance
  • Make-or-buy (outsourcing)
  • Sourcing strategies (including products vs. services)
  • Managing various types of supplier relationships
  • Supplier selection, assessment and development
  • Total cost of ownership
  • Supplier interfaces
  • Supply chain risk and disruptions
  • Carbon footprint, codes of conduct, and triple bottom line (economic, social and environmental aspects)
  • Implications of Internet-based marketplaces for purchasing
  • Purchasing in different industrial settings
  • Supply chain theory

The course will be delivered as a series of presentations and discussion sessions of theoretical concepts, their managerial implications for managers and relationships with other areas of supply chain management.
