Background
• Historically, the management of materials and component
parts has been the most neglected element in the production
process.
• In the past businesses emphasized minimizing the cost of
capital and labor.
• The focus on labor was logical because the industrial
revolution had generated many labor-intensive
manufacturers.
• Producing large standardized batches represented the norm
for some manufacturers.

Ratios Of Materials
Related Costs
• The following are ratios of materials-related costs that are
typically cited in fabrication–assembly industries, for example,
consumer durable goods.
– Cost of purchase = 80 percent of sales
– Cost of marketing (sales) = 10 percent of sales
– Cost of transportation = 10 percent of sales
– These ratios are increasing for various reasons: material
shortages, increased use of synthetic materials, inflation,
and thoroughly complex high-value products.

Potential For Profit
Let x be the required sales; then 0.5x is the cost of materials and 0.2x is
labor cost.
Sales = Variable cost + Fixed cost ± Profit
x = 0.5x + 0.2x + 250 + (10+50)
x = $1,033,333

A Developing Discipline
• Supply management is a developing discipline and an
area of management specialization.
• Did the plant ship on time? Was the product on the shelf
when the customer entered the shop?

purchasing professional reports directly to the manufacturing vice
president.
