E-Procurement Model


E-procurement
procurement refers to all activities involved with obtaining items from a supplier; this includes purchasing, but also inbound logistics such as transportation, goods-in and warehousing before the item is used.
                                                  
E-procurement should be directed at improving performance for each of the five rights of purchasing (Baily,1994) which are sourcing items”

1.       at the right price
2.       delivered at the right time
3.       of the right quality
4.       of the right quantity
5.       from the right source

Current process


Explanation:
The old process is the start from inspection ,the company check the situation of the stationary,then make the decision whether to make the order or not, then do the order,because the employees do not have the choice to select what they are given  and the HR has trouble with identifying the employees' information.So after the delivery, the product stored in the warehouse then distribute to the employees.Then according to the different demand of different employee, after distribution ,the left stationary is transported to the warehouse again.

Re-design process




Explanation:

This new process the outsource company make the system for doing the stationary management.Then the company do the inspection check the employee need the stationary or not, the make the decision.Once the decision is made to order products, there is the electronic catalog to search the demanded product,then order them. The product transported by the suppliers ,there is a delay ,once the product delay ,the company would inspect the delay reason then solve the problem.Then the arrived product will stored in the warehouse,then the the notification is given to different department ,like the account department, after receiving the notice, the payment will be done. After that , the stationary will distributed to the employees according to the demand in the database.Then the process is divide in to two directions,one is update the system and database,another is the employee will be asked to give the feedback which about the quality and satisfactions of the products.

  1. Hi guys,

    Your new process design shows how placing orders based on demand could reduce the amount of excess stock. The procurement process takes place in clear, sequential steps and the supporting explanations are very good.

    Regarding wish lists, not just in this scenario but in general, do you think that using various feedbacks from staff and interpreting this information, rather than a standard “wish list” functionality, may create more work for the company or it could be a better way to spark new ideas?

    You mention that the suppliers will not be able to view Google’s internal information i.e. usage and consumption of products, do you think that if this information, within reason, was visible to the suppliers, it would enable them to understand the needs of and serve Google better?

    See you on Monday - have a good weekend!
