Sažetak
In efficient execution of procurement process, goods and services are obtained under best possible conditions (it usually refers to prices, time and quality), while aiming to ensure delivery at the right time in the right place in order to derive direct benefits and to support the corporate business process. While procurement may be simple and consist of repeated purchases, complex procurement procedures include mid and long term contracting to obtain strategic goods and services and may cause significant financial impact and impair corporate business plan execution. The environment in which the procurement is executed is under influence of constant changes due to economic and political contributing factors, especially when considering global scale, so efficient procurement is under constant scrutiny to adequately support core business processes while avoiding interruptions, untimely deliveries and bottlenecks in logistic systems, often contained outside of the corporate system. Considering intricacies of such a system, this paper shows a basic blueprint for the organization of procurement system able to incorporate information-transaction systems in order to utilize mid and top management decision support systems to further improve the efficiency of this business function. Such a system calls for exact alignment of business processes and information-transaction systems and the creation of coherent reporting, and finally, extrapolation and simulation systems able not to provide only a detailed look into the past but also to look ahead, into the future of the business, which is dependent on the constant change of inputs.
