Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 工業工程與管理系 === 90 === The market competition has been changed from a conventional business management to the whole supply-chain management. So, when an enterprise attempts to promote its competitiveness should think about not only the promotion of the competitiveness of the enterprise itself but also the promotion of the competitiveness of the whole supply-chain. In the meanwhile, it is need to evaluate whether all the partners in the supply-chain can operate or collaborate with each other to promote the competitiveness.
Owing to the progress of B2B e-commerce, more and more companies expect to adopt e-procurement to substitute the human operation. But the change of procurement operations usually leads to the situation that the powerful companies coerce the weakly partners in the supply-chain. And, this makes the weakly partners still cannot improve their operation model even after adopting electronic procurement.
In this study, we try to probe into the e-procurement operation model, to analyze the supply-chain procurement operation of the partners, and to improve the workflow of all partners in the supply-chain. When the partners, of different levels of information technology in the supply-chain, adopt proper supply-chain e-procurement operation model, the competitiveness of the whole supply chain can be raised.
An XML-based e-procurement system is implemented in this research. By using such system, all partners of different levels of information technology in the supply-chain can work together. The middle-ware Biztalk Server was used for the implemented. Some implemented scenarios show that the information flow can be worked smoothly among all the partners of different information technology level in the supply chain.
