The purchasing business is responsible for identifying and selecting new suppliers, negotiating, fixing prices and determining purchase conditions. The Purchasing Division’s duties can be classified into purchasing equipment and purchasing raw subsidiary materials. First, purchasing the equipment is the task of purchasing the necessary equipment in all the business sites. The Purchasing Division is in charge of procurement of all kinds of tangible assets required for production, from machinery and parts of each kind to project contracts for constructing new production facilities. And purchasing raw subsidiary materials is the task of purchasing the raw materials necessary for the production of our products.
Purchasing is an important task that directly affects the profit and loss of the company. Therefore, it is important to collect information related to purchasing through overseas business sites and production lines, and identify trends to reflect on the decision-making processes to make efficient purchases.
