SK chemicals announced on July 19 that it has built a web-based e-purocurement system in its effort to make its old purchase systems more practical and efficient.
SK chemicals’e-purchase system named ‘SKYebid’was launched July.
SK chemicals has been making process improvement since 2000 in order to optimize the purchase process, and established a plan to build a perfect e-purchase system in 2002.
As part of the plan, SK chemicals started using material code after implementing an international standard categorization system to integrate global standards into its old purchase categories tagged SK-No.
While the process improvement was achieved through price contracts, the e-purchase system is applied with SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) in order to establish a win-win partnership with suppliers.
The Internet procurement is now seamlessly interfaced with internal MIS so as to build a one-stop system for managing affiliated companies.
A staff of SK chemicals Purchase Team said, “One of the most important factors in the chemical industry is timely delivery at an optimal price. So timing and pricing are the key factors. In this aspect, our new SKYebid is expected to change and refine the complicated process of purchasing chemical materials to be more accurate.”
