Work in progress
/0 Comments/in News & Press, BADU /by Abby FletcherSPECK Pumpen has been manufacturing plastic swimming pool pumps since 1968. During the last 40 years this production has undergone permanent change. Steadily rising sales figures, new developments or revised pump types and, most recently, the use of energy efficient motors made constant adjustments necessary. In the recent past, completely new factors have been added: a significant change in market behavior, the increasing desire for individualisation and, of course, the expectation of price stability. Amidst this phase of radical change, the BADU pump production is also in the middle of a generation change.
Supplies
/0 Comments/in News & Press, BADU, Speck, News & Press, Aquaculture, News & Press /by Abby FletcherOrganising supplies does not simply mean “shopping“ for the purchasing employees. There is much more at stake here: keeping production and administration running, weighing up the capital commitment through stock keeping, keeping an eye on the value for money and, above all, the effects of purchases on the selling prices of one‘s own products. Knowledge of many business processes, good negotiating skills, knowledge of the seasonal market fluctuations and human contact with key suppliers are required in order to optimally manage these complex links.
