Why bad budget savings

Recently Us frequent calls to the agency asking what saves huge budget, using the system of public procurement method of price offers - well, is it?

Yes, indeed, open information access numbers are called with a billion orders of zeros (8-9 billion. Annually) saved in the operation of the system of electronic procurement by quotation on the price reduction. [1]And this can not but cause people's joy and pride for such bureaucratic "savings".

Let's use the tools of quality management deal with the essence of the issue.The process is as follows.The active members of the community work, creating added value, expressed with cash equivalent.All society has an interest in this work, but understands the need to fund more social programs (education, health) and deadweight costs (military, police, criminals).To take decisions to withdraw from the operational part of the turnover of public funds in the form of taxes, calling it the state treasury.Instruct members of society, not busy creating anything of value, to reallocate funds in the state treasury according to public opinion, adopted on first reading, chosen delegated representatives of society.These funds will be used in two directions.First, to those members of society who do not create wealth (social, spiritual, social, and others.) And thus to return to the operating activities of the company.Second, to where return is not expected (at a military firing range, "transfer" to other states, and others.).It is clear that the economy of the society is very interested to abstract finances as quickly as possible back into circulation (money makes money).Given this, we hired "redistributors" declare electronic trading of goods and services.The system is simple - who will give a lower price, he will receive the order.We make the "discovery" - the price of the product (goods and services) is determined by the total investments in the quality characteristics of his work and the desired profit.Therefore, if you fall below the threshold of quality products (from profit as much as possible to give up), you will get: "minimum price - minimum quality".Thus, using the Pareto rule companion, we get 80% of public procurement - a defective product, 19.85% - perhaps acceptable and 0.15% savings of budgetary funds.Using the figures of the State Budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan [2], these percentages translate into tenge:

- public procurement market is estimated at 5423 billion.

- defective product purchased - 4338 billion.

- undeveloped assets - 8 billion.

According to "Kazinform" [3], Kazakhstan's GDP in 2011 amounted to 27 306 billion.It turns out that 15% of our well-being "redistributors" used inefficiently.If we rejoice in the annual GDP growth of 7.5%, it is clear that the figure of 15% is a disaster.

There is one caveat.In fact, the system of procurement by the minimum quotation, corresponds to one of the state program of the African state.Its essence is that any single woman can apply to the state body for the selection of a husband.Great idea, but one small detail - her husband, she first sees in the marriage bed with registration in the hands and the complete lack of options in the rest of his life.So here, "Surprise" of such a system of choice of supplier products, violates the basic principle of quality management - the choice of the consumer.As a "redistributor" can not himself select a vendor, and ultimately not responsible for the quality of the purchased product for the people's money.

main argument of the "fathers" of the system State purchases, it is certainly the fight against corruption.On this subject, I have a separate article, which I wrote after studying the endless struggle of bees with honey.But of course, in the framework of this publication, it must be recognized that these are two very interrelated questions.

, however, try to summarize our arguments.

  1. course, that the process of public procurement should be built based on the eight principles of quality management.Select the consumer, and this, by the way, the company and not a public servant.Define a clear personification of the responsibility of managers and specialists engaged in purchase and not rely on software and computer equipment.
  2. work on specific goals.When you make a decision for the "machine", it leads to the degradation of man as a person.If your company entrusted to manage its resources, then your level state managers should be fairly high.Necessary training in modern management tools and high-quality very ideology of the civil servant.
  3. Line up the key performance indicators of the state budget funds, which themselves purchase only part of the process.It is not necessary to operate large-scale absolute numbers, just tell how much the income received by one tenge invested.
  4. savings or overruns of Finance, this indicator is not good planning and operational management.We have already once experienced the slogan "five-year plan in three years" - we know how it ended.Only clear laws macroeconomic management!
  5. need hard feedback to regulate the "sustainability" of the process of public procurement and effective budget implementation on the basis of a public monitoring and review.Self-examination and self-flagellation has long been proven to be flawed.Intended use of their finances host must control myself, in our case, this should be the master of society.

We were taught how to live, but were not taught how to manage their lives.Let's try.
