Order Form

Learning Goal: I’m working on a databases multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.The following describes a purchasing process at Winter Sports inc., a manufacturer of skis,
snowshoes and other winter recreational gear. The description here is limited to the process for
ordering and receiving parts for repairing and maintaining manufacturing equipment. Read the
narrative and answer the questions that follow:
A small line of inventory of parts is located in the plant maintenance office. When that inventory
needs to be replenished the maintenance manager fills out a purchase requisition and brings it to
the purchasing department. A similar process is used when parts are not available in inventory
and are needed immediately to repair or service a machine.
Once received in purchasing the buyer responsible for plant maintenance purchase requisitions
looks up any approved player in the corporate book of approved vendors. If an appropriate
vendor is not found the buyer looks in a card file of local suppliers. When a vendor is chosen the
buyer enters the requisitions into the purchasing computer system and prints the PO. The
purchasing manager must sign all Pos, about 75 each day, this is a tedious process. There is no
review just the signature. The PO is a two-part carbon, so each PO must be signed by hand.
Several POs to the same vendor may be prepared each day. The purchasing manager gives POs
to a secretary who mails the original to the vendor and piles a copy in a paper file by vendor
number.When goods are received from the vendor, a receiving clerk calls up the PO on the computer
screen, does a quick visual inspection and count and labels the shipment “on hold”. The clerk
notifies the quality control department of the shipment. Quality Control performs required
quality tests and, if appropriate, changes the “on hold” label to “released “. At that point the
goods are moved to the warehouse and the receipts entered into the computer to clear the PO
and update the inventory balance.
a. Identify at least four points where there are inefficiencies in the purchasing process at this
company, and suggest how those can be improved. Hint: Look for aspects that can be improved such as: Activities that can be automated with the use or technology,
paper files that can be made electronic,
information that should be recorded to prevent duplicates,
or the PO approval process
b. Draw a systems flowchart of a revised process that would solve the problems identified in part(a).
