For us, logistics specialists, it is very important to carry out procurement, since material flow management is an integral part of the logistics itself. Any trading and manufacturing enterprises have a department that is responsible for purchasing and is called the procurement department. He is primarily concerned with establishing relationships with suppliers - coordinated relationships ensure a continuous flow of goods from the businesses that supply them. They also solve economic and planning issues. The very idea of logistics is to get additional profit from the coordination of actions of all participants. This idea requires supply personnel to achieve the goals of their own enterprise not as an isolated object, but as a link in the logistics system. It should pursue the goal of improving the efficiency and functioning of the entire logistics subsystem. The supply goal should be based on modern marketing concepts, first a sales strategy is developed, then, based on it, we should build a production development strategy, then a supply and procurement strategy. But in my opinion, marketing does not offer methods of systemic organization from the primary source of raw materials to the final consumer. The most effective functioning of the procurement department and the possibility of achieving goals to a significant extent depends on the very systematic organization of the procurement department. If I have to work in the procurement department, then I have to fulfill clear terms of procurement, adhere to time frames, fulfill the quantitative volume of procurement, procurement goods of exceptionally high quality, procurement all these resources at the lowest prices, with delivery, in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost. for transportation and storage. Unfortunately, in Kyrgyzstan, the functioning of the procurement system is not fully established, since many firms continue to work, focusing on the time when all the resources in the country were not purchased, but distributed. I believe that when I graduate from the university, the “Purchasing logistics” profile, I will successfully cope with high-ranking tasks and will build the most effective ways of supplying my enterprise.
