Production Buyer – Welfit Oddy (Pty) Ltd
02/1993 – 09/1999
Achievements/Tasks
• I started working on the production line as a general operator. During this time I was responsible for the assembly of aluminium catwalks onto a top frame. In January 1994, I started my tertiary education at PE. Technikon. At the start of education, I was transferred to the Purchasing Department where I was exposed to the daily running of a Purchasing Department.
I was soon promoted to the position of Junior Buyer and given the responsibility of buying only non-production items, including following up and expediting of all outstanding orders in the system.
In January 1995 I was again promoted to the position of Production Buyer. With the new promotion, new responsibilities and duties were trusted with me. At this stage I was introduced to the buying of mainly production requirements which include make-or-buy items. Examples of these are as follows: stainless steel valves, gaskets, flanges, seals, etc and also cut-to-size stainless steel plates.
While working as a Production Buyer, the following were also part of my new duties and responsibilities:
Statistical Inventory Control
This process was completely computer generated through BAAN International and works as follows.
Every single item in the Stores were allocated with a part number or stock code which is the linked to a minimum order quantity, a re-order level, a fixed vendor complete with current pricing of the specific item, and a lead time for deliveries measured in days.
When the items reached its minimum stock level, it would automatically appear on the report that must be run for purchasing. On this report all the information is there and you as the buyer would be able to generate purchase orders for the various suppliers. All the items that appear on this report are normally off-the-shelf items which make them easy to get.
MRP Items
These items are linked to a Bill of Material, which gives you an idea of what is required for a specific job number. These materials also comes with part numbers and fixed suppliers with pre-negotiated pricing which makes it easy to process purchase orders. When running an MRP report, 3 different reports needs to be looked at.
MRP Buying Report
This report gives you all the information you need to buy the items. Also in this report is a customer requirement of a specific job and the expected delivery of that particular job.
Rescheduling Message Report
This report run through all the item and gives you an indication of what items/stock needs to be rescheduled in or out. In order to prevent any production downtime, it is best not to ignore this report.
Exception Message Report
Exception message report basically gives you an idea of what items/stock is not being used on the particular job. This items/stock would normally be obsolete stock and is therefore no longer required for the job.
The rest of my duties would include working closely with related department, i.e. Finance, should there be and accounts queries. Engineering, should there be and changes in designs. I was also in close contact with the production department to follow the flow of production at each stage of the process. The Stores department would advise as per cycle counts all stock levels (physically) to ensure non production stoppages.
