CONCEPT, GOALS AND ORGANIZATION OF PROCUREMENT : Final paper

Nabava je funkcija koja upravlja opskrbom materijalima, opremom, rezervnim dijelovima, uslugama i energijom potrebnim za realizaciju ciljeva poslovnog sustava. Ona nastoji osigurati opskrbu robe ispravne kvalitete, u odgovarajućim količinama, opskrbu na pravom mjestu, u pravo vrijeme te uz pravu cijenu. Međutim, nabava nije samo funkcija opskrbe, nego se njezin utjecaj širi na cjelokupni opseg logistike, te i šire, u čitavoj organizaciji. Temeljni akt nabavne funkcije jest politika nabave. Ona predstavlja skup ideja i stavova na temelju kojih se određuju ciljevi poslovanja nabave, te izabiru smjerovi, načini, sredstva te mjere za njihovo učinkovito i racionalno ostvarenje. Nabava se u okviru poduzeća može organizirati na razne načine poput primjerice, prema zadacima koje nabava obavlja ili kombinacijom više načina. Neovisno o tome, organizacijska struktura nabave po bilo kojem ključu mora omogućiti donošenje odluka kako bi se ostvarili što bolji rezultati poslovanja. Nabavni proces započinje zahtjevom za nabavu, a uloga je nabave uskladiti različite zahtjeve s ciljem poslovanja poduzeća.Procurement is a function that manages the supply of materials, equipment, spare parts, services and energy needed to achieve the goals of the business.

However, procurement is not just a function of supply, its impact extends to the entire scope of logistics, and beyond, throughout the organization. The basic act of the procurement function is the procurement policy. It represents a set of ideas and attitudes on the basis of which the objectives of the procurement business are determined, and the directions, methods, means and measures for their efficient and rational realization are chosen. Procurement within the company can be organized in various ways, such as, for example, according to the tasks performed by the procurement or a combination of several ways. Regardless of that, the organizational structure of procurement according to any criteria, must enable decision-making in order to achieve the best possible business results. The procurement process begins with a procurement request, and the role of procurement is to align different requirements with the business goal of the company
