Evaluation of suppliers using digitalization

Original language description

The article discusses the evaluation of suppliers in a selected international food company, maps the current state of evaluation and describes the upcoming benefits of possible digitalization. This section is a comparison of original and new solutions and subsequent recommendations in the field of digitalization. It deals with the choice of criteria for supplier evaluation and the choice of suitable software that will allow us to digitize processes. However, traditional purchasing and its functions are constantly evolving, for instance. Recently, we may come across concepts such as Digital Purchase 4.0. It is important to respond to the upcoming changes and think about new opportunities and possibilities for companies and the development of purchasing towards digitalization. Procurement 4.0 contributes to the goal of productivity collaboration within Industry 4.0 and improves the organizational supply chain set up to meet tailored and innovative requirements as efficiently as possible. There is a need for companies to have an effective supplier evaluation system in place, which is constantly being improved and digitized as extensively. The next part is based on Dickens&apos; evaluation of suppliers. Based on questionnaires, this study defined 23 factors for supplier evaluation. Purchasing managers were interviewed, there were 273 respondents. Based on their answers, the factors and their importance were determined, on the basis of which the author interprets possible transitions to digitize and automate processes. This section analyses all 23 factors and recommendations on their suitability to digitalization or not. The study finds that in general cases digitalization assessment is possible and a personal approach to obtaining accurate data is still better, yet for many factors it is already possible to use full scale digitalization and use the saved time for strategic decisions.
