Abstract

With the emergence of indirect procurement, it has become a global trend for companies to outsource their maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) supplies to procurement service providers (PSPs). Due to the variety of MRO items, evaluation of numerous suppliers in various industries is a particularly complex task for PSPs. Due to this complexity, many PSPs still evaluate and select suppliers based on the sourcing managers' subjective knowledge. Through the case of adopting a supplier evaluation system, this research is to find the managerial issues organizations should consider when they transform sourcing managers' knowledge into the system. We interpret the issues based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. This case conclusively shows the importance of positive feedback loop between the users and the information system for the performance improvement of the system.

오늘날 많은 기업들은 MRO 구매를 아웃소싱하고 있다. 따라서 MRO 제품의 효율적 공급을 위하여 MRO 제품 공급자에 대한 평가는 매우 중요한 사안이 되고 있으나, 제품과 공급자의 수가 급격하게 증가함에 따라 매우 복잡한 작업이 되었다. 경쟁력있는 가격에 좋은 제품을 공급하는 공급자를 선별해 내기 위해서는 공급자의 이력 등에 대한 매우 체계적인 분석과 평가를 필요로 한다. 이 논문에서는 우리나라의 대표적 MRO 전자 구매 대행 기업의 공급자 평가 시스템에 대한 사례분석을 하고자 한다. 공급자 평가를 통해 소싱 업무의 의사결정을 지원하는 이 시스템은 3차례의 성능개선 프로젝트를 거치게 되었다. 이 과정에서 도출한 주요 관리적 함의를 TOE 관점에서 정리함으로써 조직 내 의사결정지원시스템의 성공적 도입을 위한 전략을 제언을 정리한다.
