Information Requirements for a Procurement Management Information System.
Abstract
This study examines the essential information requirements for the effective management of a procurement organization. There is a need for more managerial control of the acquisition cycle of the procurement process. The Air Force Systems Command Acquisition Management Information System is described and some justification for this type of procurement management information system is presented. A literature search was made to determine information requirements in the business world. Two samples of procurement managers were surveyed in order to define their information requirements and to determine if their needs were being satisfied. The survey addressed users' satisfaction and identified both beneficial and undesirable features of their information systems. If information requirements are correctly identified and satisfied by a procurement management information system, contract administration and procurement management can be improved.
