Buyer/Planner ? Planner/Buyer? – 供应链管理不能依赖学者们纯粹的想象力

【译者按:供应链学者们想象出来的怪胎 – 有些东西,学者们并不擅长,或者说这些东西并不适合搞学术研究,但学者们非要自作聪明地去插一杠子,那就难免丢人现眼了。】
以下英文资料摘自APICS(原:美国生产与库存控制协会)词典,翻译:程晓华。
Buyer—An individual whose functions may include supplier selection, negotiation, order placement, supplier follow-up, measurement and control of supplier performance, value analysis, and evaluation of new materials and processes. In some companies, the functions of order placement and supplier follow-up are handled by the supplier scheduler.
采购员 – 一个个体,其职能包括供应商选择,谈判,下单,供应商跟踪,衡量并控制供应商绩效,价值分析及新材料和工艺流程评估。在一些公司,下单及供应商跟踪职能是供应商排程员的工作。
Buyer/Planner—A buyer who also does material planning. This term should not be confused with planner/ buyer, which is a synonym for supplier scheduler.
采购员/计划员 – 一个采购员,同时又做物料计划。这个名词不能与计划员/采购员混淆,后者等同供应商排程员。
Supplier scheduler—A person whose main job is working with suppliers regarding what is needed and when. Supplier schedulers are in direct contact with both MRP and the suppliers. They do the material planning for the items under their control, communicate the resultant schedules to their assigned suppliers, do follow-up, resolve problems, and advise other planners and the master scheduler when purchased items will not arrive on time to support the schedule. The supplier schedulers are normally organized by commodity, as are the buyers. By using the supplier scheduler approach, the buyers are freed from day-to-day order placement and expediting, and therefore have the time to do cost reduction, negotiation, supplier selection, alternate sourcing, and so forth. Syn: planner/buyer, vendor scheduler.
供应商排程员 – 一个主要职责是与供应商一起工作于需要什么、什么时候要的人。供应商排程员直接接触MRP和供应商。他们为他们负责的物料做计划,跟相关的供应商沟通排程,跟踪,解决问题,当他们采购的物料不能及时到达的时候,他们向其他的计划员和主生产计划提出建议以支持排程。通过使用这种供应商排程员的方法,采购员被从日常的订单下单、催货中解放出来,使其有时间做降本、谈判、供应商选择、替换资源等。意思等同:计划员/采购员,供应商排程员。
说句实在话,我是一边翻译,一边想吐!这些整天躺在象牙塔里面、不食人间烟火的专家们,他们那聪明的大脑到底在想些什么呢?
我个人一直认为,buyer 就是 buyer,planner就是planner,啥叫buyer/planner , planner/buyer? 连长就是连长,参谋就是参谋,合二、甚至是合三为一,这是个什么东西呢?
怪胎嘛!
无论是学界还是业界,对供应链管理似懂非懂者大有人在。供应链管理问题向来都不是看起来那么简单的,照猫画虎,其结果必定是画虎不成反类犬。供应链管理,理论很重要,实践是关键,但其灵魂则是底层业务逻辑的贯通与击穿。
