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 ones, 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, along with its production and technological features, determine the characteristics 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 operational 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 practical methods, ensuring that what is learned is highly applicable and operational, and can be quickly transformed into one's own skills. To better achieve these points, we have given this book three key features:
- Illustrations and Visuals—Long-winded explanations can be and difficult to grasp at once. The use of appropriate charts and tables makes the content clear at a glance, making the issues straightforward.
- Practical Examples—Explanations and principles are illustrated through real-life examples, making them more vivid, easy to understand, and enabling learners to quickly integrate the knowledge.
- High Operationality—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.
This book is suitable for entrepreneurs, managers, and various levels of management personnel in the furniture industry, as well as those who are aspiring to engage in procurement management. It can be used for corporate training and as a learning resource for students and teachers in relevant majors at colleges and universities.
