RELEVANCE OF PURCHASING PLANNING AND CONTROL ON ORGANIZATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY

ABSTRACT

The primary goal of the study was to determine the importance of purchasing planning and control in organisational productivity. The Nigerian bottling company’s Owerri facility was picked as a model in this research project, along with other manufacturing enterprises. In this study, the researcher used a descriptive research approach and collected data through questionnaires and personal interviews. The study’s population consisted of 100 workers, with four research questions and two hypotheses proposed. Chi-square was employed to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. The main conclusions of the study were: The corporation examined its plan and budget on a quarterly basis, taking into account the important seasons of the year. The buying planning and control department’s examination of variation during the manufacturing process assisted the company in identifying areas of weakness in the manufacturing process. It was decided that profitability and efficiency would be increased by an efficient purchasing planning and control. It was suggested that management ensure that the production budget, through the purchasing department and purchasing planning and control department, minimised costs in order to meet customer satisfaction and maximise profits. Workers in the buying planning and control department should receive frequent on-the-job training.
