4) Mini Report
On 5 December 2020, Azman Hashim International Business School has held a program “How to Achieve a Successful Career in Procurement”. The objective of this program to deliver knowledge to the student about procurement in the international industry market from the Senior Strategic Purchasing Manager & Global Lead Buyer VACUUMSCHMELZE Singapore Pte Ltd. The aspect that the sharing session focuses is on how to become a successful procurement. This program grabs my attention to know on how the purchasing or procurement process in the international market. As we know, the normal purchasing that we have done in our basic is different from the company purchasing that require a lot of step and detail that require to make a perfect procurement. Last but not least, the topic of the program also relate to my subject for this semester which is Supply Chain Management .
5) Self-Reflection
A lot of knowledge that this program offer to the student of University Technology Malaysia. I have gained more understanding about the subject that I learn for this semester which is Supply Chain Management. The speaker shows the detail on how procurement works in the international market. The knowledge does not have in a book but only can get it from the Expert. One of the aspects that Mr. Chang Han Hua speaker on that day is to understand the ecosystem management and trend. By studying the current market trend, it helps the purchasing manager to predict future demand and prepare production planning.
Another useful piece of information that I get from this sharing session is as a person we need to “focus on the big picture”. What “focus on the big future” means is the most important facts about the situation and the effects of the situation on others. When become manager, we need to focus on every fact and aspect in the company because the factor might affect the department or the organization
