1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,980 A: So, work. Well. 2 00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:08,980 A: So, placing an order for a company. How does that work? 3 00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:12,180 A: First, you have to check whether the minimum inventory is in stock. 4 00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:15,500 A: For example, there always have to be 200 folders in stock. That’s a requirement. When we run low on those/ 5 00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:16,500 A: Well, there’s a reason 200 are required. 6 00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:18,400 A: So that we don’t find ourselves in the awkward position of running out of them. 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,260 A: Maybe because of a delay in deliveries because of bad weather. Then we might find ourselves in a tight spot. 8 00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:24,560 A: So to be on the safe side, a certain number of items needs to be in stock. 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,760 A: When the depot is full and we use up our supplies slowly, this basic stock remains. 10 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,200 A: When the supplies have gone down to where they would last us another five days or so, then we usually order more. 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,040 A: This is so that we don’t have to touch the basic stock. That always needs to be there as a precaution, for emergencies. 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,540 A: So, when we have used a certain amount of supplies, we need to order more. 13 00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:41,680 A: You have to enter the order in the computer. 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,720 A: Then you also enter the number that tells you what it is, and how much is needed. 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,740 A: So I plan ahead for a given period of time how much we’ll need and enter that information. 16 00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:49,520 A: I print out the list when it’s ready. 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,740 A: I bring it to my boss for approval and have him sign it. 18 00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:56,120 A: If everything is in order, I fax the list and wait. 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,920 A: Sometimes I receive an order confirmation, saying that everything is correct and they can deliver it. 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,640 A: Then I have to wait for about five days. 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,700 A: It differs, sometimes it’s three, sometimes four or five days. 22 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,980 A: Then we get the delivery. I check that everything is there by comparing the delivery note and the order. 23 00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:12,500 A: I check whether the number of items listed is correct. 24 00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,080 A: I also take a look inside to see if everything is right. 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,280 A: I check if anything is broken or they delivered too few pieces. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,460 A: If something’s wrong, you can make additional claims. 27 00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:25,180 A: For example, that they deliver more items, or that they reduce the price. Or you can send it back. 28 00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:28,460 A: Then we look for a different company. That’s also possible. Well, I’m sorry. 29 00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:30,440 A: But I have to look for the cheapest offer of course. 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,920 A: When everything is in order, I sent it to billing, I mean accounting. There it is reviewed again. 31 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:44,280 A: 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. 32 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,980 A: Whether the quantities are all correct. Then a final signature is added and it’s done.
