reflective review
REFLECTIVE REVIEW: M2.01
Background
The company is a tray sealing and pot filling machine manufacturer. the company offers a full design and manufacture of machines tooling and conveyors, for sale or hire. They also offer a 24/7 service to their customers. My role of purchasing team leader is to ensure that all parts and services are ordered / available to fulfil the needs of the business in a timely and costly manner. I have to liaise with all departments, providing correct and relevant information, And to create good working relationships with supplier.
Responsibilities of a team leader
As purchasing team leader my main four responsibilities are
To create an environment oriented to trust, open communication, creative thinking, and cohesive team effort, by
Providing the team with a vision of projects and objectives
Motivation and inspiring team members
Setting a good example (role model) - behaviour consistent with words
Coaching and helping to develop team members; help resolve dysfunctional behaviour.
Striving for team consensus and win-win agreements
Providing necessary business information.
To focus the team on the tasks at hand, and the requirements of both our internal and external customers and how to coordinate with them as necessary.
Making sure the department KPI’s are achieved, and monitoring them.
Ensuring deadlines are met, managing stock availability and stock holding.
Problems
Problems that would need to be referred to a higher level.
When we are advised of a part that is to be discontinued this would have to be referred back to the design department. If possible with alternative / replacement options.
If a supplier advises a delivery date can not be achieved for items needed for a build, this would have to be elevated to the projects manager, as this may effect the delivery date of the machine to the customer.
Feedback on own performance
As part of my 6 month review I received feedback on my performance.
