00:00:03:49
So, work. Well.
00:00:03:49
00:00:08:49
So, placing an order for a company. How does that work?
00:00:08:49
00:00:12:09
First, you have to check whether the minimum inventory is in stock.
00:00:12:09
00:00:15:25
For example, there always have to be 200 folders in stock. That’s a requirement. When we run low on those/
00:00:15:25
00:00:16:25
Well, there’s a reason 200 are required.
00:00:16:25
00:00:18:20
So that we don’t find ourselves in the awkward position of running out of them.
00:00:18:20
00:00:23:13
Maybe because of a delay in deliveries because of bad weather. Then we might find ourselves in a tight spot.
00:00:23:13
00:00:24:28
So to be on the safe side, a certain number of items needs to be in stock.
00:00:24:28
00:00:27:38
When the depot is full and we use up our supplies slowly, this basic stock remains.
00:00:27:38
00:00:32:10
When the supplies have gone down to where they would last us another five days or so, then we usually order more.
00:00:32:10
00:00:35:02
This is so that we don’t have to touch the basic stock. That always needs to be there as a precaution, for emergencies.
00:00:35:02
00:00:38:27
So, when we have used a certain amount of supplies, we need to order more.
00:00:38:27
00:00:41:34
You have to enter the order in the computer.
00:00:41:34
00:00:44:36
Then you also enter the number that tells you what it is, and how much is needed.
00:00:44:36
00:00:47:37
So I plan ahead for a given period of time how much we’ll need and enter that information.
00:00:47:37
00:00:49:26
I print out the list when it’s ready.
00:00:49:26
00:00:52:37
I bring it to my boss for approval and have him sign it.
00:00:52:37
00:00:56:06
If everything is in order, I fax the list and wait.
00:00:56:06
00:01:01:46
Sometimes I receive an order confirmation, saying that everything is correct and they can deliver it.
00:01:01:46
00:01:03:32
Then I have to wait for about five days.
00:01:03:32
00:01:05:35
It differs, sometimes it’s three, sometimes four or five days.
00:01:05:35
00:01:09:49
Then we get the delivery. I check that everything is there by comparing the delivery note and the order.
00:01:09:49
00:01:12:25
I check whether the number of items listed is correct.
00:01:12:25
00:01:15:04
I also take a look inside to see if everything is right.
00:01:15:04
00:01:18:14
I check if anything is broken or they delivered too few pieces.
00:01:18:14
00:01:21:23
If something’s wrong, you can make additional claims.
00:01:21:23
00:01:25:09
For example, that they deliver more items, or that they reduce the price. Or you can send it back.
00:01:25:09
00:01:28:23
Then we look for a different company. That’s also possible. Well, I’m sorry.
00:01:28:23
00:01:30:22
But I have to look for the cheapest offer of course.
00:01:30:22
00:01:35:46
When everything is in order, I sent it to billing, I mean accounting. There it is reviewed again.
00:01:35:46
00:01:44:14
When the order is paid for, we double-check everything, the money transfer, the delivery note, the bill, the fax, everything, to be on the safe side.
00:01:44:14
00:01:48:49
Whether the quantities are all correct. Then a final signature is added and it’s done.
