Development of vendor management and e-Procurement systems using android platform

Abstract

Abstract Supply chain management has become a crucial aspect of the performance of industries and companies as it manages the flow of goods, services, and information in order to fulfil customers need while reducing the total costs. In order to reduce the production total cost, e-procurement is introduced. E-procurement means of reducing cost is by shortening cycle time and create a simpler procurement process. The aim of this research is to develop a vendor management and e-procurement system using the Android platform. The developed system is hoped to be able to even shorten the cycle time, ease vendor selection and provide a more flexible and convenience procurement process. Through data measurement and documentation review, the developed system was tested against these three parameters for their validity. In the end, this research summarizes the test result and conclude based on the test result that those parameters are achieved in the developed vendor management and e-procurement system.
