How to pick a charger manufacturer, old buyer tells you

As a buyer, when you need to purchase a batch of chargers, how would you go about finding a supplier and how would you pick the most suitable partner among the many charger manufacturers. This requires a lot of skills and some relevant experience.

There is nothing wrong with the price as a reference, but if it is just a picture of cheap. Then it is too short-sighted, and often lose a lot of money because of small losses.

For example, a 12W charger is sold in the market from $5 to $100. It's true that the stuff made by small factories is cheap, but you will feel fooled after using it, either the performance is unstable or the service life is short. As far as the charger is concerned, there is even the danger of explosion. Putting such a charger on the company's products will only make consumers and customers feel that the quality of our products is too poor. Money is saved, but the company is also finished.

Procurement is a fairly technical job, in addition to pay attention to these issues there are many things to learn. In general, we should also pay attention to the accumulation of relevant knowledge. Work for a long time, will naturally accumulate some experience. Then work will be relatively easy.
 

Purchaser's work task has three aspects: material supply, inventory level control and cost control. An excellent purchaser is able to deliver the materials to the company with the lowest price on the market, the main assessment index is the delivery leadtime, minimum quantitative MOQ and price price. the control level of these three indexes directly reflects the professional level of a purchaser, a purchaser often need a few years or a longer period of time to become a qualified purchasing staff; the more excellent and comprehensive purchasing staff will have the opportunity to be promoted to the position of purchasing manager or even purchasing director. It often takes several years or more for a buyer to become a qualified buyer; the better and more comprehensive buyers will have the opportunity to be promoted to become a purchasing manager or even a purchasing director. With the rapid advancement of technology and rapid changes in the business environment, the relationship between enterprises and suppliers is constantly being adjusted, and the traditional supply relationship is rapidly changing. Purchasing personnel are required to understand more technical information and changes in market conditions, and their influence on the company is becoming more and more significant. In most enterprises in Europe, America and Taiwan, purchasing personnel are divided into two kinds: Buyer and Sourcer. the former is mainly engaged in traditional work, including demand and order processing, delivery control, known as purchasing; the latter focuses more on the changes in technology and cost in the market, and is responsible for the supplier control, evaluation and development, known as sourcing. In practice, Buyer and Sourcer's work often can not be completely differentiated, part of the small and medium-sized enterprises are often in accordance with the type of purchasing materials, similar to the material purchasing and sourcing is assigned to the same person management. From the point of view of career development, engaging in sourcing is a must for every purchaser who wants to be promoted to purchasing manager; it can be said that sourcing is the core of purchasing, and it is the ability that purchasers must practice and improve, and it is also the requirement and challenge put forward by the development of business and technology to purchasers.
