Supply chain diagram: Purchase of raw materials Supply quality control Logistics Supply Production After sale services Finished product quality control Office Furniture Factory in Jaslo Purchasing raw materials is an extremely complex process that involves choosing new suppliers, cooperation risk audit and assessment, searching for new, innovative solutions for materials and products to meet customer requirements, optimisation of purchasing, quality and logistics parameters, analysis of purchasing indicators and a process for complaints. This part of the supply chain is the responsibility of the Global Procurement and Supply Chain Department. The rules that guide us as an organisation in our cooperation with suppliers of goods and services have been laid out in the Nowy Styl Procurement Policy. We expect all our suppliers, without any exceptions, to adopt the standards described in the Policy, also in their own value chains. To facilitate control over company-wide expenses, we have centralised purchasing and supply processes by adopting a common purchasing strategy. In this way, Purchasing raw materials we have set identical conditions for all our locations. The coordination of purchasing at the individual Nowy Styl companies is made easier by IT platforms adapted to our needs, such as an ERP-IFS system, the Office 365 communication tool and reporting systems for purchasing parameters and consolidation of purchasing data. Supplier management is becoming an increasingly important link in the supply chain, especially for a large and international organisation such as ours, and in the face of increasingly restrictive legal regulations. This complex process has been appropriately structured at Nowy Styl, which we discuss in detail later in this section. Click to view Nowy Styl Procurement Policy 96 Table of contents
