Stores & Purchase - the NCL Model

Dear viewers,

Last month I had an opportunity to visit NCL, Pune for attending SSBMT Indoor Zonal during 21-23 Nov. 2008. I also got a chance to visit the Stores & Purchase Section. I was thrilled to see the way in which the S&P Section is organised and therefore would like to share my experience.

The S&P Section is in an ideally located, so to say in one building. Stores is interconnected with Purchase and vice versa. Stores in the Ground Floor and Purchase is in the First Floor. The Section is well organised and facilitated.

  • cubical cabinet to all

  • individual computer with LCD monitor

  • dedicated printer

  • meeting room for SPO/SO(S&P)

  • a mini conference room

  • Pantry to take care the visitor

  • lunch room

  • a place for common facility like Xerox, Fax, etc.

  • .... the list continues....

I am also told that they organise classes, lectures by drawing experts from outside also viz. Indian Institute of Material Management, etc. on various subjects related to S&P.

The Stores & Purchase Team in NCL, Pune is undoubtedly needs appreciation, more particularly Shri Chiranjeevi, SPO who has definitely might have taken more pain for achieving this model. Rome is not built in a day.

Stores & Purchase - NCL Model is therefore my dream office.
