Abstract
In the distributor business, optimizing procurement processes and reducing freight expenses are crucial, all while satisfying the requirements of our esteemed customers. However, the ever-changing landscape of customer demands poses challenges in accurately predicting inventory needs. This article examines implementing a purchasing requisition load-building approach that enables buyers to consolidate and organize purchase requisitions effectively while adhering to the vendor's minimum buying rules. By employing load-building techniques, transportation costs are minimized by efficiently utilizing transportation resources and leveraging the opportunity to secure favorable purchase prices, such as by ordering complete truckloads.
