Part 1 – Executive Summary
I am Russell Menere, the National Procurement Manager for Boeing Australia Limited (BAL)., my decision is to recommend that BAL pursue a cost effective e-procurement system that will interface with the legacy information technology systems that are already in place. This tool should simplify the procurement processes across the different divisions of BAL and support the complex interfaces BAL’s suppliers and customers require.
Based on a 6 month to a year setup and implementation process BAL at a cost of AD $995,000.
BAL should be able to reduce costs, decrease lead times, have less duplication and errors as well as be able to co-ordinate with suppliers and customers throughout the procurement procedures. BAL should also work on the continued reduction of suppliers as well as
maintaining and improving relationships with Key suppliers.
A new system would also allow them to look into new ways to purchase products from their suppliers to get the best prices available. Like reverse auctions or group buying with the Boeing
Parent Company.
