STRATEGIC PROCUREMENT The other day, my wife took me to a jewelry shop - Tanishq. She selected a piece of necklace, declared to the salesman that she wanted to buy only this piece (SINGLE SOURCE). She turned to me and said, “It’s your turn to finalize the deal.”  She believes, as a procurement manager by profession, I can negotiate better in a jewelry shop as well. I failed miserably (LIMITED LEVERAGE). Gold prices are rising (FIXED MATERIAL COST), and they are fixed. The only leverage you have is over the making charges. I negotiated from 31% to 25%, moving the needle by AED 540 on the gold jewelry worth AED 42,300.  She was disappointed. “You cannot negotiate. What do you do in the office?” I needed to explain to her, “dear, I do not do cheap bargaining. As part of my job, I decide what to buy, when to buy, where to buy, and how to buy.”  Your role in procurement is just limited to CLERK / POSTMAN, if others in your team make decisions. Team work with no leverage to procurement does not help. Do you do strategic procurement or cheap bargaining? #procurement #supplychain

Embarking on my journey as an Assistant Buyer in the Household division has been an exhilarating adventure. Discovering innovative products, forging connections with global vendors, and collaborating with creative minds has broadened my horizons. However, I've come to realize that the cornerstone of success in this role is in-depth product knowledge. Proficiency in computer skills, report generation, and data analysis is essential, but secondary to understanding the intricacies of our products. To truly thrive, one must develop a profound understanding of: 1. Product features and benefits 2. Materials, quality, and craftsmanship 3. Market trends and consumer demands 4. Supplier capabilities and limitations This foundational knowledge enables informed decision-making, effective vendor management, and strategic purchasing. In this dynamic industry, staying curious, asking questions, and continuously learning about products is crucial for growth and excellence.
