  • Market Price based Raw Material Procurement
    Publication number: 20140379423
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines pricing information for a raw material used in industrial production of a product for a company. The pricing information includes forecasted pricing information for the raw material. Also, the method determines demand and supply information describing a supply of the raw material for the company and a demand for the raw material of how much of the raw material the company plans to use. Then, the forecasted pricing information and the supply of the raw material and the demand for the raw material are analyzed to determine a point in time in which to order the raw material and an amount of the raw material to order at the point in time. The method automatically generates information for a purchase order for the raw material for the point in time in the amount and outputs the information for the purchase order.
