The Theoretical Aspects of Management of Procurement Business Processes at a Construction Enterprise

Abstract

The article is aimed at theoretical definition of new aspects of optimization of business processes of procurement of a construction enterprise, which arose as a result of evolutionary transformations in this sphere. A theoretical analysis of business procurement processes at a construction enterprise is carried out; the main evolutionary transformations of the procurement system have been allocated. Evolutionary transformations, in turn, encourage changes in the activities of construction enterprises, create new «rules of the game». The procurement system must fully comply with the strategic management of the enterprise and be synchronous with it. The enterprise’s strategy contains the foundations for strategic partnerships with suppliers of materials, a system of stable economic relations is being formed. At the tactical level, the management of business procurement processes and the formation of stocks is being worked out in detail. The formation of warehouse systems for storing construction materials requires the formation of delivery schedules for a diverse range of these materials. That is why the stages of formation of the supply chain include: the formation of a procurement decision; formation of a decision-making model; implementation of models of formed solutions, their monitoring and optimization. The main tool for optimizing business procurement processes in Ukraine is the national electronic platform ProZorro. The implementation of the proposed scheme for managing business procurement processes using the ProZorro system will simplify the submission and processing of documents, reduce procedural time. In addition, it can be integrated with other systems such as warehousing software products, logistics systems, etc. This will be useful when taking into account the specific needs of construction enterprises and optimizing the business procurement processes. A supply chain optimization begins with a detailed analysis and evaluation of all elements of the supply chain. It is also important to select a list of suppliers. The improvement of all business processes that make up the procurement system contributes to the optimization of the procurement system. The procurement system must be constantly improved to meet the needs and requirements of the business. The rapid development of technology affects the means of conducting procurement procedures. New tools and software allow to automate more processes, improve speed and efficiency, and provide better transparency of activities.
