Abstract

Continuous technological innovations are forcing businesses to bring automation into its core activities.Eprocurement is one of such technological advancement, receives much attention these days as it is a key to optimise supply chain performance, through cost reduction and improved process efficiency.The purpose of this paper is to compare substantial impact of e-procurement and traditional procurement process for MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) in an aviation industry through a qualitative case study approach where stages before and after implementation of e-procurement have been analysed to assess the impact on supply chain performance.The study shows that the eprocurement has advantages over the traditional procurement through bringing simplification and transparency throughout the process, reducing turnaround time and also long term relationship with the suppliers along with subsequent cost reduction across the value chain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
