impact the waiting time for

offers from vendors involves a manual submission
process. Vendors typically provide hard copies of
their offers, which adds to the waiting time for offers
to reach the procurement department. To expedite
this process, we are exploring the option of setting up
an online vendor portal where vendors can submit
their offers electronically. This would eliminate the
need for physical delivery and reduce waiting time.
Interviewee 3: Currently, vendors predominantly
provide offers through manual submission, often in
the form of hard copies. This manual process can
lead to s, especially if there are logistical
challenges in delivering the offers to the procurement
department. To improve efficiency, we are evaluating
the implementation of a digital platform where
vendors can upload their offers directly. This would
streamline the process, reduce waiting time, and
enhance

overall

submission.

Procurement Manager: The activity that consumes
the most waiting time and contributes to waste is
waiting for offers from vendors. Currently, the
standard waiting time for offers is 6 days. However,
some vendors still send their offers manually via hard
copies, which are delivered to the procurement
department. This manual process introduces s
and inefficiencies, resulting in prolonged waiting
time and waste.

to approach, scheduling the negotiation sessions can be
ed, as it depends on the availability and busy
schedules of both the suppliers and the purchasers.
As a result, the waiting time increases, leading to
inefficiencies and waste in the procurement process.
Interviewee 3: The waiting time for offers from
vendors too, which exceeds 5 days. This waiting
period occurs when vendors send their offers
manually via hard copies, causing s and
inefficiencies in the procurement process. By
implementing electronic submission methods, we can
reduce waiting time and minimize waste associated
with waiting for offers from vendors.
