Proposal of an outsourcing model for purchasing activities

International competition, constant innovation, and increased price pressures make companies look for new ways to increase profitability and competitiveness. These strong limitations help outsourcing to be a strategy. At the forefront in the United States and later in Europe not only But will reduce costs But also to create value by focusing on the company’s resources in important business activities While outsourcing of additional activities (Such as cooking, cleaning, safety, etc.) is a classic. Those involved in tasks such as IT, telecommunications, finance, transportation and procurement are new and expanding faster.
Previously it was used as a simple tool to reduce costs with financial and short-term vision. Outsourcing is a management tool that exists for managers today. If used correctly, this can lead to drastic changes in business processes, costs, and culture. On the other hand, if the device is not part of the true strategy reflection, it will not be able to operate in a planned and consistent manner, unless it is a matter of clear communication and intelligence, and if not specifically supported will Bad effect
In reviewing literature, we propose in the first part to present the characteristics and risks of employment . In the second part, we cover specific areas: employment, procurement, activities. From simple assignments to strategic procurement and / or purchasing processes that have the least added value, we will examine a variety of outsourcing formats such as strategic outsourcing and outsourcing operations. The third part presents the results of a qualitative study from 6 case studies. All observations lead us to propose a survey Offshore outsourcing models of However this procurement .
1 – Outsourcing: definitions and risks
The word outsourcing has many definitions. The word outsourcing in English is the latest version. It was first used by the American Computer Press in the late eighties to describe the new trend of large companies moving IT services to external service providers. It also makes different French translations depending on the context: outsourcing options, outsourcing
Sometimes the term outsourcing is used. This is a new doctrine created by P.Y Barrere (1988) in the 1970s in order to have a wide range of features to call collaboration among suppliers, customers. This author has demonstrated the importance of long-term partnership and trusting relationships as compared to maximizing short-term personal interests.
7 Graver (1999) provides a more accurate definition: the transfer and outsourcing of internal business activities that are duplicates of the business are the power to make decisions relating to external service providers under the terms specified in the contract. In practice, activities are often transferred only But there are still factors of production, including resources that lead to repeated activity awareness: personnel, equipment installation, technology … and decision-making rights, which is the responsibility to make decisions about the transferred activities. This definition illustrates the complexity of the phenomena and risks inherent in the transfer of personnel and decision-making power. But didn’t say anything about the outsourcing company Broward and Morgan (2007) fulfilled the requirements with the following qualifications:
- Use and use of third-party resources, assets, and skills
- Measurement standards, requirements and value / cost ratio ratios of guaranteed quality and flexibility
- The purpose of the service is provided within the organization.
- By transferring existing employees to service providers;
- And / or changes or restores business processes and technology that are the basis of the business
2 – Context of outsourcing purchase
This section addresses procurement, challenges, limitations, and implementation contexts. The outsourcing purchase involves outsourcing all or part of the company’s procurement activities to a specialist service provider (Salz, 1989). This method is especially good for non-product purchases. (Telecommunication, transportation and logistics, marketing and investment communication, MRO, etc.) that are not suitable for the main business
Manufacturing purchases account for approximately 20% of all purchases, and sometimes 80% of the total number of suppliers. The lack of connectivity from diversity and production means they are often overlooked and therefore are a source of significant potential benefits.
The outsourcing of the purchase is mainly related to non-manufacturing purchases that are difficult to collect internally. In general, the purchase of “Class C” (low-cost and non-recurring strategic purchases) creates significant administrative expenses. Outsourcing does not involve partial and complete purchase functions. The purpose in this case is to reduce operating costs, get profit from the purchase. But gives buyers free time so they can focus on the buying process or value-added activities. Outsourcing also helps reduce the number of relevant strategic service providers
3 – Awareness of quality education
3.1 – Methods
interviews (face-to-face) were conducted in 2007 with all or part of experienced buyers / directors in order to perform theoretical analysis of outsourcing buying and to identify key concepts identified with ground-based reality. From suppliers that specialize in outsourcing of purchases, including hiring to buy Class C
These interviews provide an opportunity to highlight and understand the underlying motivation for purchasing decisions, analyze the systems implemented within the project framework, and identify the factors that contribute to operational failure or success.
This empirical study is based on qualitative methods in areas that are not intended to provide a comprehensive view of the practice in terms of outsourcing, not the model used. But helps us to focus on important points.

When Can You Sue For Getting Cancer?

Being diagnosed with cancer can be devastating and affect anyone at any age. Several factors, such as genetics and lifestyle, can cause it. However, cancer can also be caused by the negligence of others. In such an instance, you can sue the people responsible for causing your cancer and claim compensation for the diagnosis and any associated damages.
Determining when and who to sue for getting cancer can be a complex process. So, it’s a wise idea to hire a lawyer to get you through the process and get the compensation you deserve. The attorney can advise you on when, how, and whom to sue for getting cancer.
With that said, here’s when you can sue for getting cancer:
- Product Liability
You can sue for getting cancer from a defective product. For example, in one hair product cancer lawsuit, a claim was made that a hair straightening product was causing uterine cancer in women. The defects in the hair product increase the risk of developing uterine cancer for whoever uses it. If you think you’re in a similar situation, you can sue the manufacturers if a certain product increases your risk of developing cancer.
However, proving your case and claiming compensation can be challenging. In such a case, you must prove the defective product caused your cancer to sue the manufacturer or retailer. You’ll have to request tests on the products to prove the defect and the relationship to cancer development. The product defect has to have caused your cancer diagnosis directly. One example is when the product has excessive amounts of lead. You’ll need to hire experts or resort to government authorities to investigate the product to prove this. This way, you have a piece of solid evidence to sue the product manufacturer.
- Medical Negligence
Medical negligence is one of the most common reasons to sue for getting cancer. You could sue for medical malpractice if the doctors, healthcare facility, hospital, or other medical professionals failed to offer the standard of care causing your cancer diagnosis. For example, if the doctor failed to order necessary tests or misdiagnosed your case resulting in cancer progression, you can sue for medical negligence.
To successfully sue for medical negligence, you must prove that the medical practitioner’s actions directly caused your cancer diagnosis. You must also show that you suffered damage because of the negligent actions of the medical practitioner. By doing so, you can claim compensation for treatment of progressing cancer, lost wages if you cannot work, and pain and suffering.
- Environmental Factors
Exposure to environmental pollutants and toxins is a common risk factor for cancer. Prolonged exposure to asbestos at the workplace, radiation, and other chemicals can increase cancer risk. If you can prove your cancer was caused by exposure to a certain environmental toxin like asbestos, consider suing the company or entity responsible for the pollutants.
Suppose a company’s activities produce excessive radiation that affects the population in a specific area and results in cancer. In that case, you can sue that company for exposing you to toxins that caused the development of your cancer.
Like the previous points, you must prove your cancer was directly caused by a specific substance you were exposed to. You’ll also have to show that the exposure was from the negligence of the company or entity you’re suing. Another aspect you must consider is the entity’s knowledge of the potential risks of exposing people to the toxin or substance. Since you’ll also claim that the company or entity was negligent, expose their bad practices that contributed to the development of your cancer.
Additionally, working in a hazardous environment may expose you to substances or toxins that can increase your cancer risk. For instance, if you’re a construction worker with constant exposure to asbestos, you’ll be at risk of developing cancer. Working as a firefighter can also expose you to asbestos and other carcinogenic substances that cause cancer.
You can sue your employer for getting cancer while working in a hazardous environment. To be successful, you must prove the cancer was caused directly by exposure to a specific chemical or substance at the workplace or in the line of duty. For example, getting cancer from asbestos exposure at a construction site.
In such a suit, you’ll claim compensation for the medical expenses covering the diagnosis and treatment, lost wages, damages for the pain and suffering caused to you and your family, and other associated costs.
Conclusion Getting a cancer diagnosis because of someone else’s negligence can be traumatizing and devastating. However, you can get a little relief through compensation for the medical expenses and other related damages, such as pain and suffering. The process of suing for getting cancer can be complicated, and it’d be best to hire an experienced lawyer to handle the litigation process. An attorney can also advise on the available legal options available and the compensation to seek.
