| Abstract | Pandemija Covid-19 predstavljala je globalni problem, i osim na ljudsko zdravlje, imala je i veliki utjecaj na poslovanje. Poduzeća su se našla u situaciji gdje su morala vrlo brzo odgovoriti na izazove koje je pandemija Covid-19 prouzročila kako ne bi otišla u stečaj. U ovome radu proučava se i objašnjava upravljanje nabavom poduzeća, konkretnije malih poduzeća, tijekom pandemije Covid-19, odnosno poremećaje u nabavi koje je prouzročila te pronalazak izlaza iz kritičnih situacija u tom aspektu za mala poduzeća. Istraživanje se provodi na poduzeću X koje predstavlja malo poduzeće, distributer ličilačkog pribora, abrazivnog materijala i reznog alata, boja i lakova te mu nabava predstavlja ključ za uspješno poslovanje. Nabava u opskrbnom lancu predstavlja jedan od ključnih operacija. Neka mala poduzeća morala su promijeniti kanale distribucije, neka su morala preći s tradicionalnih načina planiranje i kontrolinga nabave na digitalizirane, a neka su pak morala promijeniti dobavljače. Cilj ovog rada bio je na temelju domaće i strane literature te dubinskog istraživanja, na konkretnom primjeru spomenutog poduzeća X, ustanoviti kako su mala poduzeća odgovorila na probleme u opskrbnom lancu uzrokovane pandemijom Covid-19, s naglaskom na nabavu. Odabrano poduzeće prvenstveno je svoje probleme za vrijeme pandemije Covid-19 osjetilo na nabavi proizvoda. Neki dobavljači su im bili iz Kine, a neki dobavljači, s kojima su isto imali problema, su bili iz Europe, ali ovisili od uvozu iz Kine. Morali su se prilagođavati i pristajati na skuplje ponude i birati druge dobavljače. Baš iz navedenih razloga poduzeće X bio je dobar primjer malog poduzeća koji je morao odgovoriti na izazove u nabavi uzrokovane pandemijom Covid-19. Analizom statističkih podataka i polustrukturiranim intervjuom s direktorom poduzeća ustanovljene su promjene u cijenama koje su posljedično negativno utjecale na poslovanje malog poduzeća X, međutim, snalažljiv odgovor na izbor dobavljača, rješenja na izazove u kontrole zalihama, omogućilo je daljnji razvoj njegovog poslovanja. |
| Abstract (english) | The Covid-19 pandemic was a global problem, and in addition to human health, it also had a major impact on business. Companies found themselves in a situation where they had to respond very quickly to the challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in order not to go bankrupt. This thesis observes and explains the procurement management of companies, more specifically small companies, during the Covid-19 pandemic, i.e. the disruptions in procurement caused by it and finding a way out of critical situations in that aspect for small companies. The research is carried out at company X, which is a small company, a distributor of finishing tools, abrasive material and cutting tools, paints and varnishes, for which procurement is the key to successful business. Procurement is one of the key operations in the supply chain. Some small companies had to change distribution channels, some had to switch from traditional planning and purchasing control methods to digital ones, and some had to change suppliers. The aim of this thesis was to establish, based on domestic and foreign literature and in-depth research, on the specific example of the mentioned company X, how small companies responded to the problems in the supply chain caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, with an emphasis on procurement. The selected company primarily felt its problems during the Covid-19 pandemic in the procurement of products. Some of their suppliers were from China, and some suppliers, with whom they also had problems, were from Europe, but depended on imports from China. They had to adapt and agree to more expensive offers and choose other suppliers. Precisely for the above reasons, company X was a good example of a small business that had to respond to procurement challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Through the analysis of statistical data and a semi-structured interview with the director of the company, changes in prices were found, which consequently had a negative impact on the business of small company X, however, a resourceful response to the choice of suppliers, solutions for challenges in inventory control, enabled the further development of his business. |
