EXAMINING THE CONSEQUENCES OF E PROCUREMENT EXECUTION ON THE FULFILLMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE IN CONTEXT TO PAKISTANI INDUSTRIES

Abstract

Purpose: The present research aimed to inspect the effect ofelectronic procurement execution on the fulfillment ofthe supply chain performance in context to Pakistani industries. The four prime practices of known as electronic design, electronic electronic procurement that are sourcing, electronic evaluation, and electronic negotiation have been analyzed. Methodology & Design: This is an explanatory type of research. The nature of the present study is quantitative. The sample size ofthis research is 380 respondents. The Primary data has been collected from the employees who are working in the supply chain related field through an organized questionnaire based on some adopted constructs mentioned before. The data analysis has been conducted through IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software. Findings: The findings from the research show that all four E-procurement practices Design, E-Sourcing, E-Evaluation, and E-Negotiation have a positive effect on the supply chain performance of various Pakistani industries. The administration must focus on the execution ofall these e-procurement practices in order to fulfill their supply chain performance effectively. i.e. E Limitations: This research is done on the various Pakistani manufacturing industries. The data is collected from the Karachi city only. The data has not been collected outside ofthis city; therefore, the results can only be implemented in the industries located in Karachi. The data collection process was very difficult as most of the General Managers, Assistant Managers, and Supervisors were on their duty, so they don’t have well responded to the questionnaire. Limited sample size, limited scope of work and time constraints are the limitations of this research. Recommendations: The present research argues that e-procurement is part ofthe input ofthe supply chain system and therefore it is more valuable for an organization to develop an effective and innovative process that fulfills all the needs or requirements of the supply chain. A flexible e-procurement system implemented in an organization through proper research would benefit them to meet the changing needs and would reduce their costs and lead times.
