Procurement Process

Procurement Process

Considering the market GC is in and with the knowledge they do not have an overall procurement strategy develop a structure for the sourcing process fo the high usage food and non-food items that the company will be able to use for company-wide procurement process. You have to decide what processes are especially relevant for ‘production’ of meals (e.g. supplier selection, volume forecasting etc). and provide examples. Discuss which processes of the strategic procurement process you have developed would be more relevant for food and for non-food items such as; basic food stuffs for example sugar, rice, sauces, and then restaurant equipment, facility management. Use tools and methods we have discussed in the module and those you will find from your research to explain what you have done.

2. Supplier Selection.
Develop a decision making example for the selection of a supplier for one product category either food or non-food. Discuss the differences between monetary and non-monetary criteria and include this in your decision problem. Describe the steps of your process and discuss these in detail including risks; influences and external factors. Also describe how sensitive the process solution is against a changing supplier performance, both when they are improving and they are under performing.

3. Supplier Qualification
How could the company GC improve supplier co-operation and what would you consider as a program for supplier relationship management based on the facts in this case study. Thinking of the food business in general, what do you believe could be done by the restaurant chain owned by GC to qualify suppliers and create closer relations? Try to investigate and illustrate best practices e.g. from real life existing fast food chains operating in the UK.
