The main topic of the guest's lecture is "Procurement and Supply Chain Management". Therefore, Denys Piatyhorets told the youth about the key aspects of logistics in the company's activities, in particular, about the three main blocks of its implementation: the procurement process; supply chain and procurement management.
It was pointed out that it is important to follow the “five rights” rules during procurement: right quantity, right quality, right time, right place, right price. Specific examples of companies regarding the organization of the supply chain with consideration of its elements were also given. During the meeting, it was emphasized the importance of the procurement management process, which should take into account such aspects as a clearly approved structure of the company and the procurement department, effectively distributing roles within the structure and skilfully managing relations with colleagues within the company and with suppliers.
