Major Facts
The supply chain and procurement departments are not organized and are working
inefficiently.
Top management is aloof.
Lack of technical training to employees i.e supply manager
There seems to be no company strategy in place to drive the employees.
No paper work is being done so as to follow up with the material receiving
Employees roles is not defined properly. For example, one of the two clerks in the supply
department reports to the expediter who is a part of the production department.
The expediter, who is the only person in the company to understand the technical
specification is over worked and hence he doesnt really find time to do the paper work for
the parts delivered. This behavior is also accepted in the company and hence there is no
validation of the parts coming in.
The President has given complete autonomy of the purchase as he approves all orders
above $10000 in the budget meeting itself. Hence there is no one to question the order
being placed and subsequently received.

Possible Solutions
For the short term, we have to
* Involve the top management to drive the
company in accordance with the company
strategy.
* Provide intensive technical training to the
employees.
* Define the roles and responsibilities for each
department and employees respectively.
* Hire competent people to the respective
departments in order to effective working of
the departments.
* The expediter, as the name suggests should
only be involved in picking up rush orders and
supervise the stock room and nothing more.
* All the approval should be made
electronically in need basis and without the
approval the purchase order cannot be placed.
This validates the material requirement.
Similarly, all the parts coming into the
company should be validated in order to have
accountability of its ownership.
