Procurement management has a significant influence on the overall business operation. When applied appropriately, it can assist the enterprise to maintain the supply and quality of the material, and further reduce overall operation cost and thereby increase the operation profit. In addition, it facilitates stable material quality, reasonable price, delivery request, and customer service. Currently in Taiwan, there are two procurement management systems, one is for government sectors and government-owned enterprises, the other one is for private enterprises. For public sectors, a well-defined, comprehensive procurement management mechanism based on Government Procurement Regulation has been installed, while for the private enterprises, various measures are adopted with the main emphasis on in-time supply.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process and system of procurement management by looking at the above-mentioned systems, with the focus on aspects such as procurement procedure, procurement method, Administration of Contract Performance, supplier management, role/responsibility in procurement, and performance of procurement. A survey was conducted through interviews or questionnaires aiming at CHT’s suppliers. The responses were then collected and analyzed to provide a summary.
We arrive at the conclusion that most corporation view procurement as an integral part of business operation, with in-time supplying and reasonable pricing being its top requirements. The speediness, rather than openness, is a main concern when it comes to the procurement procedure. Cooperating vendor or contracted suppliers are the preferred procurement target. Sufficient authorization to select vendors, degree of vendors’ willingness to cooperate, and quality of the delivery are important criteria for choosing suppliers. Furthermore, the authorization of concluding the bid depends on the procurement volume. Check and acceptance of the delivery is the responsibility of the party which requested the procurement.
