Exploring the Relationship Between Purchasing and Production Management from the Perspective of Purchasing SCM - Stuck in a Deadlock in a High Inflation Economy! Purchasing in a Crisis! What Will Purchasing Do?
In the long-standing deflationary era, "purchasing negotiation power" functioned as a weapon for companies. However, in the current inflationary economy, where prices continue to rise, that approach has become ineffective. Now, in many companies, the purchasing department seems to have become merely a "point of contact for order processing," falling into dysfunction. Evidence of this can be seen in the frequent occurrences of violations of subcontracting laws (unjust discounts and payment delays) and antitrust laws (neglecting price increase negotiations) among both large and small businesses. The former "group" relationships have collapsed, and the era when buyers held power has ended. Now, as the presence of the purchasing department within companies is diminishing, a reevaluation is necessary. This seminar will unravel the relationship between purchasing and production management from the following perspectives: - Visualization of purchasing costs and the responsibilities of purchasing - Redefining purchasing from the perspective of SCM (Supply Chain Management) - What are the "two axes of purchasing" that should function? Are they functioning? We will learn about the truly necessary perspectives and countermeasures in the purchasing field, along with real examples. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Company information
Our company was established 30 years ago, inspired by the teachings of Mr. Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System and former Vice President of Toyota Motor Corporation. The previous president, Shigehiko Sugawara, learned the methods of on-site improvement based on the Toyota Production System, as well as the supporting PM. After Mr. Ohno's passing, we established T.M.A. Co., Ltd. in 1992 to carry on his legacy. Manufacturing is about developing people. It involves creating sellable products based on the fundamental concepts of the Toyota Production System: "Just-In-Time" and "Jidoka." This means producing only what can be sold, when it can be sold, with a waste-free combination of people, machines, and materials, all within the shortest lead time. To achieve this, it is essential for the manufacturing, sales, and development departments to work together as one cohesive unit. We aim to realize manufacturing and human development that challenges together, leverages for the future, and creates the next stage. As a result, people grow, and a resilient corporate culture emerges. Our company strongly supports these initiatives. We operate six business areas: 1. On-site improvement consulting and seminar instructor dispatch 2. Online seminars and group seminars 3. T-Mate system 4. Book publishing and sales 5. Correspondence education 6. Video distribution
