THE IMPACT OF PURCHASING PLANNING AND CONTROL IN IMPROVING PURCHASING PERFORMANCE IN A MANUFACTURING COMPANY
ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to scrutinize The Impact of Purchasing Planning and Control in Improving Purchasing Performance in a Manufacturing Company. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to examine the contribution of purchasing planning and control management on improving the performance of Manufacturing Company and examine the existing purchasing planning step that is being utilized and its effectiveness. Investigation revealed that some years back and even in recent time many company have been faced with the problem of planning in the sense that they have not recognized the importance of effective planning in purchasing there materials. The issue of effective planning in purchasing activities in any business organization helps the organization to get quality materials from a good supplier at the right time. The research design used in this report is descriptive design, utilizing questionnaire method to obtain information from the respondents for this project. A total of 150 (one hundred and fifty) respondents were selected for this study to represent the entire population of the study. For null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the one-way ANOVA and the t-test statistical tools at zero point zero five (0.05) level of significance. Primary data were collected from the primary source which questionnaire was used as an instrument of data collection while secondary data were sources from textbooks, journals, newspapers and the internet were employed. The data were presented on a frequency distribution table and analyzed using simple percentage, while hypothesis was tested using chi-square test. The relevance of this research work will keep both the government and industrialists, in setting up their industrial to realize that without efficient purchasing officer the envisaged profit will remain that no previous study was been carried out on purchasing activities in the public sector, but this will in particular reshape the financial profitability of Nigeria.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Purchasing is the first phase of Materials Management. Purchasing means procurement of goods and services from some external agencies. The object of purchase department is to arrange the supply of materials, spare parts and services or semi-finished goods, required by the organisation to produce the desired product, from some agency or source outside the organisation. The purchased items should be of specified quality in desired quantity available at the prescribed time at a competitive price. For the survival of any organization, be it public or private the efficiency is the most vital factor. Therefore means the coordination and maximum contribution from each basic function of the organization such as creation, finance, personnel, conversion and distribution, especially the purchasing, function towards the success of the entire organization.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Nigeria bottling company plc was originated as a soda function beverage in 1886 selling for five least. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system that coca-cola become the world Famous Brand It Is Today. 1884 – A modest start for a bold idea. Since the emergence of this organization, it has snifter to the market and consumers different types of soda fountain beverages. The number of soda fountain beverages sent to our market by this bottling company plc, in doubt has made tremendous impact on the reduction of the micro economic variables problems in this country through generating to our economy, creation of job opportunities etc the management of Nigeria bottling company plc is a public liability company.
The important of effective planning in purchasing activities in any business organization be it small or large is an obvious and important.
