Implementation of E-Procurement System in Function of Supplys Optimization in the Supply Chain

Globalized market environment has resulted in the need for continued rationalization of the supply chain and actualizing the need to implement information and communication technology in the functioning of supply chains. When considering the problem of optimal inventory management in the supply chain it is considered necessary to introduce a system of efficient IT function of e-procurement, which is a precondition for ensuring the optimum supply of goods and information of all participants in the supply chain. On the other hand the task of e-procurement is to ensure the exchange of information and business documents among participants in the supply chain and in this way contribute to the overall rationalization of the supply chain. The paper will be presented to study the functioning of the supply chain of automotive post sales, and on that basis problem of managing inventories will be described. Based on analysis of historical data and methods of inventory management on the example of the real garage, a model of e-procurement as a prerequisite for making future IT solutions that can contribute to the optimization of inventories in the supply chain will be created.
