Procurement

I have always loved automobiles and wanted to work in the automotive industry in some way.
The main reasons I decided to work for Tachi-S were that I could be involved in car models before they were released to the public, and I thought that a parts manufacturer would allow me to enhance my expertise.
A single automobile uses tens of thousands of parts, and if even one of these parts is missing, the car is not complete, so I became interested in procurement work related to parts supply.
As a new graduate, I was assigned to the Purchasing Department as I had hoped, and is now in my fourth year. Involved in procurement of metal components such as fastening parts, HR STAY, wire processing, springs, etc.
The work includes proposals for new orders, price negotiations, handling supply issues, and risk management for suppliers.
Negotiating with existing clients is a major part of my job, but sometimes I also propose new clients to my supervisor or deal with vendors who come to me for a sale.

In procurement work, we are the "buyer" and our suppliers are the "sellers.
But when negotiating with business partners, I try to have a flat relationship with them without being conscious of hierarchical relationships. And we will always respond speedily to requests requested by our business partners.
I believe this is the basis of communication in any situation, and I feel that by doing so, mutual trust will be strengthened.
Currently, I am actively using the telecommuting system, dropping my children off at daycare and taking charge of evening bath duty.
When my child was born, I also took two weeks of maternity leave.
There are many father employees around me who are working hard to raise their children, so I appreciate the ease with which they can take advantage of such systems.
