Features: Furniture procurement is a relatively tricky issue in the management activities of furniture manufacturing enterprises. For a long time, the procurement work of some furniture factories has become a major headache for the bosses. Some furniture factories, especially private small workshops, do not manage procurement through systems but rely on human management. Out of sheer desperation, they place their relatives and friends in this crucial position. However, procurement is a rigorous science, and only through management can it be truly effective. The characteristics of the furniture manufacturing industry, as well as its production and process characteristics, determine the unique features of its procurement work. This book starts from the procurement characteristics of the furniture industry and provides a comprehensive and systematic teaching on various aspects, including recognizing materials, establishing procurement networks, and negotiation skills. It is a complete, professional, and highly practical book on furniture industry procurement management. During the writing process, we have always adhered to the following principles:
1. Enable production management personnel to grasp the essence of production management in the shortest time possible, comprehensively and systematically.
2. Focus on providing specific methods to ensure that what is learned is highly practical and operational, and can be quickly transformed into one's own skills.
To better achieve these points, we have given this book three major features:
Illustrated with diagrams and tables—Long-winded explanations can be and difficult to grasp at once. The use of appropriate diagrams and tables makes the content clear at a glance, making the issues straightforward.
Practical examples—Exemplify methods and principles through real-life cases, making them more vivid, easy to understand, and allowing learners to quickly integrate the knowledge.
Highly operational—The methods in the book come from practice and can be quickly applied in practice. The tables, documents, and examples are representative and can be used directly.
