Title
The Effectiveness of E-Procurement Systems on Purchasing Performance: A Case Study of Mcdonald Timber Industries (PVT) LTD
Abstract
McDonald Timber Industries manages the procurement function manually as well as through
the recently implemented e-procurement system. Manual procurement is impeding the
organisation’s buying efficiency and purchasing performance, prompting the researcher to
conduct research on the effectiveness of e-procurement systems on purchasing performance
at McDonald Timber Industries. To collect relevant data, the researcher used questionnaires.
Graphs, tables and pie charts were used to present information.
According to the researcher, buying efficiently plays a critical role in e-procurement systems
and thus has an impact on purchasing performance. Resistance to change and e-procurement
service providers’ immaturity were identified as factors influencing the effectiveness of e￾procurement systems on purchasing performance at McDonald Timber Industries. According
to the findings of this study, McDonald Timber Industries should implement an electronic
procurement system in order to increase productivity and bridge the gap between the industry
and its suppliers. Employee training to use the system effectively was also recommended.
