Practical knowledge of production technology for experienced purchasers Part 2

Advanced course for participants with a commercial background and basic technical knowledge

This training is held in German.
In order to be able to make a sensible supplier preselection for your drawing parts, it is very important for you to be able to recognize the possible and necessary production technologies from the drawings available to you. A sound knowledge of manufacturing technologies is just as important here as being able to "read and understand" the individual details in the drawings. In addition to these things, the training also deals with various strategic purchasing options that can lead to cost reductions. In addition, various sample calculations of components should provide a better understanding of supplier offers and thus also give you the opportunity to proactively implement sensible purchasing strategies in price negotiations.

Contents

Reading and understanding technical drawings correctly (advanced advanced knowledge, basic knowledge of reading drawings is required)

  • Understand position and shape tolerances correctly.
  • Explanation of fitting systems (unit shaft/unit bore) and their significance for technical purchasing.
  • Complex drawings, sectional views.
  • Achievable accuracies of the production processes depending on the required IT qualities.
  • Recognize the possible manufacturing technologies in the individual drawing specifications and derive a procurement strategy or supplier preselection.

On the trail of cost drivers

  • Intensive and detailed viewing, analysis and discussion of different drawings and joint assignment of the respective possible production technologies for manufacturing the components.
  • Thorough analysis of expected costs and delivery times in procurement.
  • Searching for and recognizing possible production problems and finding alternatives.
  • Development of solutions for supplier pre-selection.
  • Critical consideration and comparison of sensible procurement options, depending on the respective tasks and your strategic purchasing objectives.

Bring your own drawings with you if you have unanswered questions or simply want a second opinion.

  

Possible purchasing strategies put to the test

  • Discuss different purchasing strategies and their potential for cost savings.
  • Presentation of practical examples of sensible purchasing strategies (short-term/long-term) and possible procedures as an important guide for everyday working life.
