This is a general view of the purchasing process. Forecast, requirements, requisition, supplier selection, contract, purchase order, receipt, inspection, payment, and performance measurement. The cycle begins with the identification of needs. The needs can be defined during the planning, during a product development, in projects, or from the production process.
In the production planning, the sales forecast drives the aggregate and material requirement plan -MRP. Based on the MRP, it is possible to determine the quantity and dates for raw material, components, and semi-finished goods needed to meet the production plan.
The requisitioning involves the specification, describing material characteristics, quantity, and date in which the material is required. When it involves services, a statement of work should be elaborated to guide the contracting process. The business units inform the needs and descriptions through a purchase requisition.

MISSION STATEMENT
My mission is to provide practical courses in business analysis for effective professionals. The objective is to keep the focus on the essential needs of professionals that work within short due dates and under pressure.
We provide a hands-on learning process. During the courses, my students have the opportunity of developing skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and quali-quantitative analysis in practical business applications. My sessions started with the basics, then practice, implementation in a supporting software, and at the end, recommendations for a professional presentation. We cover the complete cycle, from the analysis to the business presentation.
My background includes D.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, and MBA, and 20+ years of hands-on experience in service and manufacturing industry. My teaching differentials represent a combined approach with a deep understanding of Business Management models, real case assessments, and personal testimony from my multifaceted experience. My extensive hands-on business experience (20+ years) along with proper teaching methods has been contributing to my students’ success since my first teaching assignment 15 years ago.
