State Government E-Procurement: A Simulation Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic procurement can provide great efficiencies to governmental agencies. This paper reports a real case in a small Midwestern state where an old purchase order process was replaced with a much more efficient electronic procurement system. Interviews with the manager in charge enabled modeling the old and new processes with a simulation model, which produced output that was verified as accurate by subsequent discussion with state agency personnel. The simulation model is presented here to demonstrate how simulation tools can support e-procurement analysis.
