BEP 414 – Satın alma 5: Satıcı tekliflerinin değerlendirilmesi
Bugünkü dersimiz için İş İngilizcesi Pod'una tekrar hoş geldiniz. Satın almak için İngilizce. This lesson looks at language for evaluating proposals from vendors.
Business is all about buying and selling. And just as your company sells products to individual consumers or other companies, you also have to purchase goods and services to make it all happen. For ongoing purchasing relationships, this means evaluating different vendors to find the best match.
Bu yüzden, when you sit with your team to evaluate vendor proposals, what will you talk about? These discussions often involve comparing pricing, zaman çizelgeleri, quality, and service. You might also talk about warranties, güvenilirlik, and risks. And just like any group process, the quality of the decision will come down not just to the facts in front of you, but your ability to communicate clearly about them.
In conversations about vendor proposals, there are several aspects you might consider. You might assess risk as well as vendor capacity. You might also evaluate the total cost and compare value, as opposed to the basic contract price. Ve sonunda, you might prioritize the different criteria you use to assess the vendors.
Bugünkü diyalogda, we’ll listen to a conversation between managers at a fitness equipment company called xFit. Hazel, Adem, and Nick are evaluating proposals to choose a manufacturer of a specific part for their line of treadmills. In previous lessons on purchasing, we heard xFit choose a company called VinMech to produce a part for a different exercise machine.
