The successive socio-economic crises that the Western world has suffered have meant in the business environment, in general, an increase in material and human costs, which added to the decline in income have led to a reduction in the profits of many companies and even and all, the closure of some others.

On the other hand, there is a set of variables and factors external and internal to companies that also affect their profit and loss accounts and their margins:

- External factors: the global economic space, global competition, the internet, high specialization, etc.

- Internal factors: lack of innovation, not being present on social networks, a deterioration in the level of service, not having a quick response to customer requests, lack of quality, not having the product in customer demand , etc.

Faced with these situations, companies, in addition to finding the best solution for each variable, will seek, a priori, to increase sales by obtaining profits, as a way to continue in the market. An example of growing these sales would be finding new target markets, through relational marketing policies or other methods according to the planned strategy.

But is that all? If companies want to improve their competitiveness it is clear that they do not. That is why it will also be necessary to know how to structure and optimize costs. Remember that in order to increase profits by 20%, it is necessary to increase sales in the same proportion, taking into account the associated costs involved in this increase. But can the same 20% profit be achieved in another way as well? Yes, saving about 4% on the costs of materials and services purchased from the company. It is clear, therefore, that this will be a business goal: to improve costs through the professionalization of purchases.

And who has the responsibility to improve these costs within the company? The current strategic planning determined by the general management of the companies, leaves behind the old organizational charts in which the purchasing department was a simple structure of the administration area. The current policy is to find the best technical manager specialized in the management of the area of technical and industrial procurement. For this it will be necessary to have in the company, an expert in this matter, that is to say: a Purchasing Engineer.

This course will allow you to train to have the necessary basis to know how to understand business costs and the world of management, to be able to buy professionally from the technical side. Negotiate, select suppliers, acquire basic legal knowledge, subcontract, learn the essential purchasing techniques, analyze the full cost of supply, plan, manage stocks, acquire ethical commitment, etc. they are concepts that will allow to develop like engineers this specialty of such a fundamental and strategic area of the company.
