Unit 7 PurchasingText 1 PurchasingDialogue 1 What is PurchasingText 2 Purchasing ProcessDialogue 2 Ordering EquipmentText 1 Purchasing【Para 1】Definition of Purchasing(采购的概念)Purchasing is not simply buying goods and services, and it is a group of functional activities associated with buying the goods and services required by organizations. These activities include supplier identification and selection, buying, negotiation and contracting, supply market research, supplier measurement and improvement, and purchasing systems development, etc.Text 1 Purchasing【Para 2】the Role of Purchasing(采购的作用)The most important and traditional role of purchasing is to meet the requirements of internal users. In the past, the emphasis was laid to buy what firms need from the right source, at the right price, in the right quantity, to the right internal customer and at the right specifications. However, with the increase of outsourcing, firms are more and more relying on external suppliers to provide not just materials and products, but also information technology, service, and even logistics. Therefore, to ensure the uninterrupted flow of high-quality goods and services is becoming more critical for modern enterprises.Text 1 PurchasingPurchasing department must develop and maintain close relationships with other functional groups within the organization which may include manufacturing, marketing, technology and finance. Effective communication with these departments is essential and necessary for the whole organization to keep as competitive. For example, if a supplier's components are defective and causing problem for manufacturing, then the purchasing department must work with the supplier to improve their quality.Text 1 PurchasingIn order to ensure the current suppliers are competitive, purchasing must identify new suppliers and improve or replace the existing suppliers who are not meeting the requirements. That means that purchasing needs to keep abreast of the newest conditions in supply market.Text 1 Purchasing【Para 3】the Need of Purchasing(采购需求)Nowadays the need for purchasing to be involved in corporate strategy has received a great deal of attention. The reason is that the amount of money spent on purchasing has increased significantly, and the potential savings from strategic management of purchasing are considerable. Another factor is the trend toward outsourcing, which means firms must manage their suppliers effectively. Now it is believed that suppliers play a critical role in supporting a firm's competitive strategy, whether it is cost leadership, differentiation, or a mixed strategy.Text 1 Purchasing【Para 4】Decision of Purchasing(采购决策)Purchasing those products and services which firms can not produce is necessary and easily understood, but if they can make or provide these products and services in-house, what will theydo Decisions about whether a producer of goods or services will insource or outsource are also called make-or-buy decisions. Answering such questions is often not as obvious as black and white.Text 1 PurchasingTo make it clear, management needs to answer the question: What is the difference in relevant costs between the alternatives Therefore, it is necessary to calculate costs among alternatives and consider its resources and opportunity cost.

New items require that purchasing spend much more time evaluating potential sources. Repeat items usually have approved sources already available.Text 2 Purchasing Process【Para 1】Identify User Need for Product of Service(确认产品的用户需求)The purchasing process begins with identifying materials or services needed by an internal user. Material requirements might include equipment, components, raw materials, or even completely finished products. Examples of service can be a need for computer programmers, transportation carriers, or maintenance service providers. Users may use different ways to communicate with purchasing, such as by phone, word-of-mouth, or through the internal computer networks.Text 2 Purchasing Process【Para 2】Evaluate Potential Suppliers(评估潜在的供应商)Once a firm identifies potential items to be purchased, it must gather and evaluate information on potential suppliers, and this is the case particularly for a new purchase. A list of potential suppliers can be generated from a variety of resources, including market representatives, trade shows, trade journals, the current suppliers, and the Internet.Text 2 Purchasing ProcessAlthough the traditional ways are still widely used and helpful, more and more firms are utilizing the Internet as an aid to search business opportunities since it is effective, efficient and inexpensive.Text 2 Purchasing Process【Para 3】Supplier Selection(选择供应商)Selecting suppliers is one of the most important activities performed by companies, since mistakes made during this stage can be damaging and long-lasting. When price is a main criteria and the required item or service has clear specifications, competitive bidding is the commonly used method. Generally the lowest bidder receives the contract; otherwise, the buyer must explain why it did not get the contract. However, when non-price variables exist, then the buyer and seller usually negotiate directly. Finally, the purchasing team will select a supplier based on the bids received or the negotiation result, and then move on to the next stage.Text 2 Purchasing Process【Para 4】Purchase Approval (采购实施)After the supplier is selected, purchasing grants an approval to purchase the product or service. This is accomplished through issuing a purchase order (PO), also called a purchase agreement. The purchase order will specify the details agreed by the buyer and seller, such as quantity, price, delivery date, method or delivery, and so on. It should be noted that nowadays more and more firms are using computerized databases to perform these tasks and are moving to a "paperless" office.Text 2 Purchasing Process【Para 5】Release and Receive Purchase Requirements(发送和接收采购需求)At this stage, purchasing or other functional groups must monitor the process carefully. Lots of potential conflicts may occur at this period, since the supplier and buyer are two separated groups in traditional sense and their goals may be in conflict. For example, the supplier wants to produce and ship in an economic size, while the buyer's goal is to minimize inventory and expect small orders and short lead time.【Para 6】Performance Measurements(业绩衡量)Suppliers' performance is critical to an organization, and evaluation should be conducted on a continuous basis. A supplier that performs well can help organizations be more efficient, produce higher quality products or services, reduce costs, and increase profits. However, very few companies have developed systems to measure their suppliers' performance.Text 2 Purchasing ProcessNew Words and Phrasesstage n. 阶段,时期approval n. 同意,批准exceed v. 超过maintenance n. 维护particularly adv. 特别地,独特地journal n. 期刊utilize v. 利用Text 2 Purchasing Processaid n. 帮助,辅助effective adj. 有效的efficient adj. 有效率的grant v. 同意,准予accomplish v. 完成,实现issue v. 发布monitor v. 监控conflict n. 冲突conduct v. 实施,进行Text 2 Purchasing Processdepending on 决定于,视……而定finished product 成品word-of-mouth 口头的trade show 贸易展览long-lasting 持续长时间的non-price 非价格on a continuous basis 持续地Text 2 Purchasing ProcessNotes1.These stages may vary in different organizations, depending on whether purchasing is to buy a new or repeat item, and also whether there is a approval process for purchases that exceed a specific amount.在不同的组织中,这些阶段可能会有所不同,取决于是重复还是全新的采购,还有是否规定了超过一定限额的采购需要一个批准程序.Text 2 Purchasing Process2.Material requirements might include equipment, components, raw materials, or even completely finished products.物料需求可能包括设备,部件,原材料,甚至是完全的制成品.3.Although the traditional ways are still widely used and helpful, more and more firms are utilizing the Internet as an aid to search business opportunities since it is effective, efficient and inexpensive.虽然传统的方法仍然广泛的使用,也很有帮助,但越来越多的组织逐渐使用互联网作为一个辅助来搜寻商业机会,因为它不但有效,而且效率高也不昂贵.Text 2 Purchasing Process4.Finally, the purchasing team will select a supplier based on the bids received, or the negotiation result, and then move on to the next stage.最后,采购团队将根据收到的标书,或是谈判的结果来选定一个供应商,然后转向下一个阶段.

Sourcing-Buyer-Purchasing-Procurement-区别
Sourcing与Buyer，Purchasing和Procurement的区别(2011-04-02 18:04:10)目录定义上的区别 (1)职能上的区别和具体分工 (1)Sourcing与Purchasing (2)sourcing工作职责： (3)Buyer工作职责: (4)不同行业的不同定位 (4)定义上的区别与采购有关的词有：Buyer，Purchasing，Procurement和Sourcing。
我把它们分别译为：买；采购；获取（或资源获取）；寻源与货源组织。
从他们出现的顺序上也可以看出它们虽然最终都完成了采购的业务，但含义和执行工程是不同的：1．Buyer只是简单的买，完成了“买”的动作和买入了某样物资或服务，侧重于下单，并跟踪订单；2．Purchasing则有采购的意思，即先要采，然后再买进；3．Procurement是实现了资源获取，有整合与更好的获得资源的意思；4．Sourcing一般是制造型企业用的，要求有很强的理工知识和商业感觉，是要去在全球范围内找到最好的资源、然后将找到的货源和资源组合在一起来更好地加以利用，侧重于物料和供应商的开发，开发完成后交给buyer下单跟踪。
它们的演变是随着采购业务不断发展的需求而出现和扩展而来的。
职能上的区别和具体分工Sourcing与Purchasing翻译成中文，Sourcing，Purchasing和buyer都是采购的意思，但实际上他们的职能是大不相同。
Sourcing是根据客户的需求，寻找，发现，评估，审核，发展合格的供应商，有的叫procurement，意思是发现采购。
一般对应中文是供应商开发或发展多。
同时也包括新BOM （Bill of Material）报价和谈价的工作。
侧重于技术层面，是去寻找和确定符合资质的新供应商或新产品的供应商。
偏重于对整体项目的分析。
比如你需要采购产品A，你要对A 进行风险分析，比如这个项目是否适合中国的市场，他的技术参数是否是大部分供应商能达到；近期的原油价格会不会涨价，造成运费增加，或者塑料涨价格，你做这个项目有多少saving ；如果有些状况你开始就预料到的并不利于这样项目，你有权将项目停掉，以免浪费人力物力，Sourcing 的这个工作和职位,对潜在风险的预测是有比较高的要求，同时他还可能负责初期的供应商寻找和筛选。
Sourcing VS Purchasing
Sourcing和Purchasing在中文的意思差不多，都可翻译成“采购”，那是因为笔者想不起更好的方法来译Sourcing。
各位朋友如果有更好的翻译方法，请告知。
但从实际职能上讲，两个工作的内容大不相同。
Sourcing的词根是Source，即根源。
所以简单地理解，Sourcing 是找到根源，即找到合适的供应商。
在新产品开发中，Product Sourcing 就是为新产品找供应商。
如果想把产品生产转移到低成本国家，就叫全球采购（Global Sourcing），或低成本国家采购（Low CostCountry/Region Sourcing）。
Purchasing就是采购。
相对于Sourcing，Purchasing更侧重于订单处理（PO Transaction），即询价、下订单、跟踪订单、催单、收货、付款等。
相对而言，Sourcing属“一次性行为”，一旦选定合适的供应商并把他们带上正规，Sourcing的任务就基本完成。
当然Sourcing 的过程可能很长。
然后是Purchasing去执行日常订单管理。
当然如果Sourcing选定的供应商有表现问题，例如质量、交货、价格等，那么Sourcing有可能再度涉入，寻找新的供应商。
当然这种区分有点理论化。
在很多公司，Sourcing和Purchasing是由同一组人员完成。
但对于建制完全的大公司，总体趋势是把Sourcing从Purchasing分离出来。
从上面的分工不难看出，Sourcing相对更战略一些，而Purchasing 更侧重于日常工作。
在工作中，Sourcing与产品部、工程技术人员等交流较多，而Purchasing则主要是支持生产部、客户服务部（例如备件、配件）。
Sourcing的班子一般由Sourcing Manager加采购/供应商工程师构成；而Purchasing则由Purchasing Manager加采购员、催货员、检验员等组成。
Sourcing与Buyer区别
Sourcing与Buyer，Purchasing和Procurement的区别导读：相对而言，Sourcing的过程可能很短，也可能很长，但确是“一次性行为”，一旦选定合适的供应商并把他们带上正规，Sourcing的任务就基本完成。
当然Sourcing的过程可能很长。
然后是Purchasing去执行日常订单管理。
当然如果Sourcing选定的供应商有表现问题，例如质量、交货、价格等，那么Sourcing有可能再度涉入，寻找新的供应商。
当然这种区分有点理论化。
在很多公司，Sourcing和Purchasing是由同一组人员完成。
但对于建制完全的大公司，总体趋势是把Sourcing从Purchasing分离出来。
定义上的区别与采购有关的词有：Buyer，Purchasing，Procurement和Sourcing。
我把它们分别译为：买；采购；获取（或资源获取）；寻源与货源组织。
从他们出现的顺序上也可以看出它们虽然最终都完成了采购的业务，但含义和执行工程是不同的：1．Buyer只是简单的买，完成了“买”的动作和买入了某样物资或服务，侧重于下单，并跟踪订单；2．Purchasing则有采购的意思，即先要采，然后再买进；3．Procurement是实现了资源获取，有整合与更好的获得资源的意思；4．Sourcing一般是制造型企业用的，要求有很强的理工知识和商业感觉，是要去在全球范围内找到最好的资源、然后将找到的货源和资源组合在一起来更好地加以利用，侧重于物料和供应商的开发，开发完成后交给buyer下单跟踪。
它们的演变是随着采购业务不断发展的需求而出现和扩展而来的。
职能上的区别和具体分工Sourcing与Purchasing 翻译成中文，Sourcing，Purchasing和buyer都是采购的意思，但实际上他们的职能是大不相同。
Sourcing是根据客户的需求，寻找，发现，评估，审核，发展合格的供应商，有的叫procurement，意思是发现采购。

团购的.英语作⽂篇1 Nowadays， people like to go shopping online， we can buy whatever we want. Shopping online has been a big market， people not only save time， but also save money. If we want to buy something， we just type the name， click on the computer， then the thing you want is in front of you，there will be many choices， the shops are showed up， the different shop has different price， we can choose the product with the suitable price. Group shopping provides the product with low price， the reason why the price is so low in that the amount of the product is large. With the large， the manufacturers still earn big money. Group shopping is a good way of shopping. 团购的英语作⽂篇2 This year’s China is witnessing a group buying fever. As the name indicates, group buying means a large number of individuals make a purchase together so as to receive a higher discount on the particular item. Customers can not only buy various kinds of goods in this way, but also purchase tickets, coupons and services at lower cost. Popular as it is, complaints have been piling up about it, which reveals the problems occurring during the group buying process. The first and foremost problem is the fake product, which occurs mostly when buying cosmetics. Many a time did customers feel dismayed at one obviously fake cosmetic which they had expected so much. What’s worse, the after-sale service is far from completion and satisfaction. On many occasions, customers are denied access to filing their complaints, let alone asking for a refund. My suggestions to deal with these problems are as follows. To begin with, it is urgent to create a national certification system so that only the qualified sellers can engage in the commercial activities. Secondly, all those who sell fake products and make false advertisements should be punished severely. It is not until these two methods are put into practice that group buying will develop on the right track. 团购的英语作⽂篇3 Since the computer comes into being, it develops so fast, today, we can do many things in the computer, such as make friends, check the news and so on. With the computer, people like to purchase online, it not only saves time, but also saves the money. The newly developed way of shopping online is called group purchase, the special thing lies in that it provide the product with low price. As so many people buy the product, so the manufacturer still earn lots of profit, so they are willing to sell on the low price. While the problem comes, low price always means bad quality, group purchase provides the customers not that good quality.

Purchasing vs. Procurement
Purchasing vs. ProcurementBob Liu ( 9, 2006 6:47 ) | 评论(12)两个词的中文意思都是“采购”。
但还是有细节上的区别。
总的感觉是，Purchasing比较正式。
例如美国的采购与供应管理专业叫Purchasing and Supply Management。
如果你看那些经典的采购方面的教科书，书名很少有Procurement的，大都是Purchasing。
美国的《采购》杂志也叫Purchasing，而不叫Procurement。
大多公司里，采购部门叫Purchasing，采购经理也叫Purchasing Manager而不叫Procurement Manager。
全球采购合同叫Global Purchasing Agreement (GPA)，没有Procurement的份。
如果你读《哈佛商业评论》几十年前的一篇有名文章：Purchasing Must Become Supply Management，你也会很少发现Procurement的影子。
所以，当你不知道该用那个词来翻译采购的时候，选Purchasing。
那么Procurement用在哪些地方呢？总体感觉Procurement比较老气，也有点正式。
例如政府的采购叫Procurement。
政府的采购部门叫Department of Procurement。
大学的采购部门也多用Procurement。
建筑行业用Procurement比较多，例如EPC就代表Engineering（设计）、Procurement（采购）和Construction（建筑）。
如果一个公司标称EPC公司的话，那表明他们的实力很强，有点像国内的设计、施工总承包。
有些石油公司的采购部门叫Procurement。
也觉得Procurement的对象比较大、复杂，更费周折，例如政府采购、建筑、石油项目等都很大。
当然，笔者的一些工程师同事把公司的采购部门叫Procurement，总让人觉得他们真土。

However, it was just a start of the influence of network public opinion of China in changing the society. Now, nearly every day or two, there will be a new event heatedly commented by Chinese netizens through online facilities.Actually, network public opinion is the co-product of the interaction between two factors. For one thing, the highly developed internet has brought the explosion of information to everybody’s life. Each piece of information can potentially be an “event”. For another thing, democratic consciousness has grown stronger in minds of Chinese people. Network is the democratic outlet where their free speech can be fully realized.Now, network public opinion has become the constructive power for a better society, which has been acknowledged by all levels of governments. With overwhelming influence and massive power, it willhelp a lot in constructing Chinese social equity, including improving Chinese democracy, promoting anti-corruption; bring in judicial fairness, and etc.。
群体采购英文作文
群体采购英文作文Group purchasing, also known as collective buying, is a popular way for people to save money by buying products or services together. It's like a team effort to get the best deal possible. Let me tell you why group purchasing is such a great idea.First and foremost, group purchasing allows us to leverage the power of numbers. When we come together as a group, we have more bargaining power. This means we can negotiate better prices and discounts from suppliers. It's like going to a wholesale market where bulk purchases are rewarded with lower prices. By pooling our resources, we can enjoy the benefits of economies of scale.Another advantage of group purchasing is the opportunity to discover new products or services. When we buy as a group, we have access to a wider range of options. Some of these products or services might not have been on our radar before, but they could turn out to be exactlywhat we need. Group purchasing opens up a world of possibilities and helps us explore different alternatives.Not only does group purchasing save us money, but it also saves us time. Instead of individually searching for the best deals, we can rely on the collective knowledge and experience of the group. Someone might have already donethe research and found the best supplier or product. By sharing information and recommendations, we can make informed decisions more efficiently. It's like having ateam of personal shoppers working for us.Group purchasing is not just about financial benefits, but also about building a sense of community. When we come together for a common goal, we form connections and strengthen relationships. It's an opportunity to meet new people, share experiences, and support each other. Group purchasing creates a sense of belonging and unity, making the whole experience more enjoyable and rewarding.In conclusion, group purchasing is a win-win situation. It allows us to save money, discover new options, save time,and build a sense of community. So, why not join a group purchasing initiative and start enjoying the benefits today? Let's come together, shop together, and make the most ofour collective power.。

SAP自学系列-MM快速入门
MM快速入门MM的英文全称是Material Management，即物料管理。
在物流理论界，物料管理包括的范围要比SAP的范围广。
而在SAP中它与SD模块一起组成了物料的进和出，买和卖，采购和销售之间的一些过程，当然，生产过程则是通过PP模块来控制的。
MM是后勤的上游和中游，SD是后勤的下游，包购采购、供应商管理、物料需求预测、库存管理、发票校验等，另外作为一个系统模块，还有一个后勤信息报表体系。
ＭＭ主要管理的业务流如下图：比较采购货源,决定采购需求, 选择供应商, 采购订单处理, 采购订单跟踪, 收货/库存管理, 发票校验.物料（Material）的含义极广，生产企业里更多地是指原料及原料经过增值加工后形成的半成品、成品，零售企业则多指商品。
同时，也可以把采购来的或要提供给客户的“服务”作为物料来管理，当然企业内部的一些独立部门的提供的各种“服务”需要有采购、销售过程也可以用物料来管理。
在用IT系统管理物料之前，有个很重要的工作就是对这些物料进行编码、分类，并收集、记录相关属性（比如如形状、长宽高、体积、颜色、规格、重量、基本单位、销售单位、运输单位、存放条件、批次等）。
管理最基本的一个方法就是分类，使用系统进行管理最基本的一个方法就是编码。
物料编码为企业统一管理自由流动资产的基础，也是日常业务单据处理的基础。
统一合理的编码非常的重要，这个学问也非常地专业，听说有一些标准化的组织作这个事情。
好的编码能为库存管理打下良好的基础，传说中石化编码做了两年。
我觉得两年还不够。
如何编码是SAP之外的前提工作。
下面，我们来讲讲MM模块如何进行物料管理的。
跟SD一样要搞清楚以下七个问题，你的供应商SD了物料给你，你要做的就是MM这些物料，七个要搞清楚的主要问题如下：1，采购主体？2，采购客体？3，采购对象？4，采购价格？5，采购模式？6，物料交接？7，钱款交接？搞清楚这些问题，就要搞清楚SAP是如何用各种术语定义这些问题所涉及的概念的：1，采购主体—谁在行使公司的采购权利能力？一个财务独立的公司，是法律拟定的人，叫着法人。

Group Purchasing
In recent years, group purchasing, as a new type of online shopping, is rapidly gaining popularity,which was originally introduced from foreign countries but is now widely accepted all over China. It offers not only good, but also some disadvantages.
Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer group purchasing, they think group purchasing plays a significant way in their daily life. At first, it improves the efficiency of customers’ shopping. Facing the complex in a wide range of goods, customers don’t know how to choose, while group purchasing offers a better choice for them, so customers can make a decision in a short time. Secondly, through group purchasing customers can enjoy more benefits. Group purchasing attracts customers with low discount price. In addition, compared with the general online shopping, customers need to take less money in group purchasing. Last but not least, group purchasing supplies customers a platform for communication and interaction. People can communicate with each other online, it’s very convenient for them.
As every coin has two sides, some problems may also come up in the group purchasing. The same as online shopping, the goods we bought from group purchasing may be quality problems. What’s more, you may have difficulty solving problem through after-sales service. Moreover there are risks when you buy some valuables. This means that we should be cautions in group purchasing.
As far as I’m concerned, group purchasing brings us convenience while there are also shortcomings. We are supposed to treat group purchasing rationally. At last we must be careful not to buy something we don’t need only to follow the fashion.
