ANDRITZ Pumps

Purchasing phase

Shopping for raw materials, components and standard parts

The second step in each project execution process is the purchasing phase. It is divided into two main tasks: the purchase of raw materials and the purchase of components and standard parts.

Purchasing of raw materials for tailor-made parts

For this procedure, the production engineering department plans the number of needed raw materials such as castings, steel sheets, round steel bars, and various other items. This shopping list is based on the drawings and part lists created by the design team. With this information, the purchasing department buys the necessary materials.

Purchasing of components and standard parts

Since pumps are not only made of tailor-made parts, standard parts such as screws, nuts, bearings, and seals need to be bought by the purchasing department as well. The information about type, number, and other facts is provided either by the design or the manufacturing engineering department.
