Dont get sleepy just yet..our journey has just begin .. sit tight and lets learn..

here a picture of a motivated baby ^_^

when we talk about purchase or buying there must be a place to buy the item so in FS the place is called market and there several type market.. so let go to the first one

but first let learn what is marketing channel , well it mean the food processing and distribution, beginning with the grower of raw food products and ending at final consumption. 

so let begin with the first type of market:

Primary market : the basic source of food supply including growing region and processing plants.

secondary market: the physical function unit of the marketing system in which product are accepted from the primaryand distributed to the buyer

Local market :suppliers within close proimity to the buyer ( which the closest market to your home or we could called it "pasar" )

broker : a wholesaler who does not assume owner ship of the goods , brings the buyer and seller together ( you could also call broker as agent)

so that's the type of market , simple right? hihi.. i know some of you start to feel dizzy and sleepy but let try this way .. put yourself in the shoes of a hotel owner or restaurant owner.. you wouldn't want to just buy you something blind that would cost you greatly..you must learn to know where to buy and how to buy correctly ...  

 alright mr cat...i will proceed ..

well let go to the buyer side..whats is the art of negotiation..well it mean the communication skill used by individual to confer with each other to reach an agreement or compromises

and there is an ethic while you purchasing an item or product: product should be evaluated objectively , and buying decision made on the basic of the quality. price , and services.

and in buying there are two type of buying centralized and group puchasing.

centralized purchasing is what you would call normal purchasing with only one department

group purchasing is one department that represent several hotel 

there is a vendor or you could call it seller.

next we go to the method in purchasing and there is 4 method:

cost - plus purchasing : a buyer agrees to buy certain item from a purveyor for and agreed on period of time based on a fixed marks up

prime vending involves a formal agreement with a single vendor to supply the majority of product needs

blanket sheet agreement used when a wide variety of item are purchased from local suppliers, but the exact item , quantity and delivery requirement are not known

just in time purchasing the product is purchased in the exact quantities required for a specific production run and delivered just in time .

and finally the puchassing procedures

- identifying a needs

-inventory stock level

-quantity to buy 

-specification

-issuing bid request

-developing purchase order

-tabulating and evaluating bids

-awarding contract

and thats THE END
