Procurement and Purchasing Management

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the techniques that allow them to place orders with the necessary suppliers at the right time and in the right quantity for the correct functioning of the company, guaranteeing a correct level of service to the customer and/or to the production plants in the case of raw material for producing companies. Likewise, the student will learn ways of classifying inventories that allow him to manage each group of materials individually, according to their rotation, economic valuation, etc. in order to reduce costs. In this course we will also see a practical methodology for conducting inventories and physical counts, guidelines to be taken into account and analysis of possible differences that we might have in our stock.
