- Abstract
-
This study examined the influence of centralized procurement on output at Innscor Africa Limited, a well-known food manufacturing firm in Zimbabwe. The study will look at how centralization affects manufacturing efficiency, cost management, supplier relationships, and
overall firm success. A quantitative research technique was applied, with questionnaires used for data gathering. The findings show that centralized procurement has improved manufacturing processes at Innscor Africa Limited. The study found a negative link between a
centralized procurement system and production (r=-0.321, p0.01). These data indicate that the deployment of centralized procurement methods has had a detrimental impact on Innscor Africa's production capacity. The modified r square (R=0.412) indicates that the centralized
procurement system accounts for at least 41% of the fluctuation in production volumes at Innscor Africa. This suggests that centralized procurement methods have an influence on production quantities of at least 41%, making it a key variable in affecting output. Other elements affecting manufacturing, such as labour, technology, and capital, account for 59%. According to the regression study, the centralized procurement system accounts for statistically significant changes in production quantities at Innscor Africa. As a consequence, the researcher is unable to falsify the hypothesis and concludes that the centralized procurement system predicts production at Innscor Africa. The conclusions of this case study offer significant insights for other organizations in Zimbabwe and abroad, underlining the significance of
careful planning, good supplier management, and organizational alignment when introducing centralized procurement systems in production environments. - Date
