In Hu Yong's words, there are big problems with the procurement plans submitted by various departments in the company.
The two were walking towards the office building. When they heard what Hu Yong said, Cao Shujie paused and asked Hu Yong what the problem was.
He thought that Hu Yong had found something wrong with the purchasing department again. The incident involving Xiang Zhengyan, the company's first purchasing manager, had left a deep impression on Cao Shujie, so he arranged for Lian Qijian to take charge of the purchasing department.
If something goes wrong with Lian Qijian, Cao Shujie will have to think about what went wrong with the company.
But after Hu Yong finished telling him, Cao Shujie realized that he was overthinking this time. It was not the purchasing department that had a problem, but the purchasing plans of each department. However, the purchasing department did not do a good job.
Related audit work, so that there were flaws in the entire cooperation process.
At this time, Hu Yong opened the folder in his hand. It recorded the name of each purchased item, and at the same time, the relevant purchase volume and the inventory quantity discovered when he just transferred to the three factories were written on the back.
It looks like there is no problem, but if you look closely, you will find that the inventory is a bit large?
But the procurement plan has not stopped. What is the reason?
Cao Shujie also realized the problem.
To put it bluntly, there are things in the warehouse, but the purchasing has not stopped. Perhaps the purchasing department itself does not know how much inventory is left in the warehouse, and they only report the plan mechanically.
Hu Yong also told him that usually all aspects of the procurement plan only stay on the surface, without actually checking the remaining status of the purchased materials, and blindly approve and sign, and finally purchase the items, which leads to problems.
"I didn't notice this at first, but when I reviewed the procurement plan recently, I discovered this problem. I took a closer look at the relevant data and finally found that there is no need to buy so much of some things." Hu Yong said.
Cao Shujie nodded. He felt that what Hu Yong said was right, and what Hu Yong did this time was also right. In the current economic recession, they must achieve cost savings in all aspects.
They clearly know that the market environment is not good, even if their products are still selling well, it does not mean that they can waste money unscrupulously.
"Manager Hu, please go back first, I will go in later." Cao Shujie said to Hu Yong
After Hu Yong left, Cao Shujie turned around and went to Wang Zhifeng's office in the Human Resources Department to talk to Wang Zhifeng about things at the steel ball factory.
He also specifically asked Wang Zhifeng to ask how the recruitment arrangements at the steel ball factory were going?
A long time has passed since Wang Zhifeng was first assigned this task.
Hearing Cao Shujie ask about the relevant situation, Wang Zhifeng did not hesitate and quickly reported the relevant situation to Cao Shujie.
After listening, Cao Shujie nodded, seemingly very satisfied with the progress of Wang Zhifeng's work.
But he also asked about the rest of the relevant progress.
Wang Zhifeng thought that Cao Shujie thought that his work efficiency on this matter was too slow. When he was thinking about explaining something, he heard Cao Shujie say: "Manager Wang, the county government recently mentioned to me that it wanted to use a steel ball factory and
The situation of exchanging part of the funds for the shares of the flour mill is still under negotiation. I think the personnel allocation related to the steel ball factory must be done well. We should not be greedy for credit and rush forward, and the same mistake cannot happen again...
…”
Wang Zhifeng was not stupid. He understood as soon as he heard that Cao Shujie asked him to slow down his work progress. Although he could not understand the reason why his boss did this, it did not prevent Wang Zhifeng from observing the boss's latest decision.
Cao Shujie didn't need to elaborate, and Wang Zhifeng didn't express his position, but both sides had already developed a tacit understanding.
Cao Shujie left the human resources department and returned to his office. Thinking about what he had just gone to the workshop with Hu Yong, he turned on the computer and looked at the physical warehouse report sent to him by the warehouse.
Cao Shujie specifically looked at the data parameters in the physical report, and then looked at the purchasing plans submitted by the company's purchasing department in the past, as well as the purchasing plans submitted by various departments through him.
At this time, Cao Shujie was able to see the problem. Some of the purchased materials were very repetitive.
You don't know what's going on.
It does not mean that there is a financial problem. The main reason is that there are big loopholes in the review. Some items were purchased repeatedly, but they did not notice it. Or when reviewing and signing, no one, including Cao Shujie, did not check carefully and were confused.
Li confusedly agreed.
If Hu Yong hadn't brought it up this time, Cao Shujie thought he might have continued to acquiesce and repeat yesterday's story.
From this aspect, this matter is really a long-standing criticism.
…
After writing this down in his notebook, Cao Shujie thought that when he convenes a meeting next time, he would like to mention a few words at the meeting so that others can pay attention to the situation and also strengthen the review of the purchase of items.
Nowadays, economic development is sluggish everywhere. Although Xuemeng Food Factory seems to be developing well in the industry, no one is sure that it will be able to develop for a long time. In this case, they must pay more attention.
Some unnecessary waste should be avoided if possible.
When Cao Shujie saw that Hu Yong had sent an email related to the procurement plan and inventory materials, he followed up with a reply from the email, reminding the heads of each department to be careful when submitting procurement plans in the future.
Review and take responsibility for your signature.
Cao Shujie specifically wrote in the email that if any inappropriateness was found in the procurement plan during the later review, the company would inquire about the situation with the first person responsible for signing at that time.
As a result, many people obviously felt nervous.
Although it was mentioned before, it was not linked to responsibility. Now that the issue of responsibility is directly mentioned, it makes them nervous.
Everyone is afraid that this responsibility will suddenly fall on them. When the subsequent procurement plan is submitted, the managers or supervisors of each department will start to carefully review it themselves, and will also ask about the physical inventory situation in the warehouse.
This is the phenomenon that has changed the most, and it is something Cao Shujie is happy to see.
He feels that by slowly changing this aspect, in the end, the company's procurement costs will drop significantly.
The company will also reduce losses in the use of materials and reduce inventory occupation.
Don’t underestimate this small change in this aspect. If it continues for a long time, the company will not be able to save even a little bit. When accumulated, this amount of money is not a small amount. ()
