INTRODUCTION
Material Procurement can be defined as the purchase of
goods or services at a total cost of the optimum possible in the correct amount
and quality of procurement. These goods and services are also purchased at the
right time and location to express profit or the use of Government, business,
business, or individuals by signing a contract.
The
process of acquisition of goods or services that are required as a raw material
(direct procurement) or for operating purposes (indirect procurement) a company
or a person might call acquisition. The procurement process involves not only
the purchase of commodities, but also the quality and quantity of controls.
Typically, providers are listed and pre-determined by the contracting company.
This makes the smoother process, the promotion of a good relationship between
the buyer and the supplier.
The
synonyms for procurement, which are the gain, purchase, and acquire, can shed
light on the meaning of procurement. The procurement process may vary from
company to company, and a Government entity can have a slightly different
procurement process compared to a private company.
Acquisitions can also be defined simply as the
procedure in which the goods or raw materials are purchased when prices are
low. Procurement is advantageous if the goods are purchased in large
quantities. E-procurement is another method of electronic
media is used for the acquisition or purchase of goods. Everything is processed
electronically, the search for the right bidder delivery and payment. The
procurement procedure may vary depending on the product and the uses of the
product. Health team must be efficient and reliable, and the procurement
process is carried out carefully in order prevent the defective equipment
purchase. Another important factor that usually includes definitions of the
procurement is the amount purchased the product. This is important because the
quantity of purchased goods is inversely proportional to their cost.
Thus,
acquisition is a process that is carried out by the company almost every
individual and for their own personal benefit or benefits, involving the
purchase of commodities by choosing the appropriate provider.
1.1
Statement of the Problem
Most company’s are
suffering to their procurement systems
set. Most often low quality goods are
purchased and they end up losing money. Also at times, they lack a steady
supply, resulting to lack of materials for production, hence the need for
computerization of bill of material processing system.
1.2
Aims and Objectives of the Study
The
main objective is to computerized bill of material processing system of
business transactions. This will help the manager know when to make purchases
of items, ascertain the exact number of each items or stock available, to ascertain the materials that are either mostly or sparsely
used as well as knowing the exact number of each material or items that are
lacking thereby helping to improve workflow in the organization. Moreover to
reduce time wasted in data processing and information retrieval. And finally to
improve management activities, which will lead to improved productivity,
accountability and business management of the organization.
1.3
Purpose of the Study
This
purpose of this study is to design a computerized bill of material processing
system for a company. This will help in monitoring their material procurement.
1.4
Significance of the Study
The
project is aimed at designing, a new better alternative system to help the
organization in material procurement thereby making the management system to be
more effective. Also the software designed will help management to: -
(a)
Maintain a database of materials procured.
(b)
Safeguard data and information in the
system.
(c)
Reduced workload in the present system.
(d)
Keep accurate record on material
procurement
(e)
Reduce time wasted in data processing.
1.5
Scope of Study
This
project work is designed to cover all aspect of purchases of materials in a
company. The system incorporates materials procurement recording and stock
taking.
1.6
Constraints and Limitations
During the process of this research work some drawbacks
were encountered while trying to get adequate needed data and information.
They include the reluctance of the management of the
firm under study to release vital information, which they feared would
jeopardize the security of the organization.
secondly, time and financial constraints which had great influence to
this work.
1.7
Assumptions
It is assumed that all information gathered with
respect to material procurement management information system is correct as
implemented by computers.
1.8
