CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background and Statement of Problems

Over the last 100 years, the automotive industry has created products which

are too complex. The design cycle times are simply too long for response the

consumers' ever-changing requirements. The challenges which are created by the

complex market and consumer trends have forced automotive Original Equipment

Manufacturers (OEMs) to further pressure their supply base to assemble more

automobiles, whereas cost of production is reduced,

Supply chain management is a main concept to improve operation through

continually advanced collaboration with suppliers. For many years automotive OEMs

have pressured their supply base continually to reduce costs. They used Just-In-Time

(JIT) philosophy applied to purchasing in order to exactly make the required materials

at exactly the time when they are needed, so that the value is added only to the product

that is to be manufactured, and indirect costs are avoided.

The JIT approach is characterized by regular and constant quantities which

are delivered frequently such as several times delivery in a day. To achieve this, the

supplier is kept inform of the production planning and related purchasing requirements

on a daily or weekly basis. In this way, suppliers are able to anticipate on automotive

OEMs' future requirements. Hence, they will be able to plan their production and

material requirements more effectively.

o

a


oCholatis Srikarthimarak lntroduction / 2

Previously, there are 2 methods that suppliers can receive orders from OEM.

Firstly, telephone, fax or messenger delivery is used for transfer orders to suppliers.

This method takes a long time and may have error from accuracy of data. Secondly,

the classical EDI allows only point-to-point connections between the OEM and big

suppliers. They require the dedicated EDI servers and necessitate costly program

developments. Therefore, only the bigger suppliers able to connect by using this

system.

For that reason, Internet technology is an important role to reduce the

problem which suppliers confront. Therefore, automotive OEMs use Internet to

integrate their supply chain and support two-way communication of data. This method

increases transfer speed of data, reduces the cost from EDI and the error from

paperwork.

1.2 Objective of Study

To design and develop the E-Procurement Web Application Prototype for

automotive industry both automotive OEM side and supplier side.

1.3 Scopes of Study

LITERATURE REVIEW

This research involves both business review and technical review. This chapter is

classified as following:

2.1 Business Review

2.1.1 Supply Chain and Logistic Management [11

Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management is a set of approaches utilized to effrciently

integrate suppliers, manufacfurers, warehouses, and stores, so that merchandise is

produced and distributed at the right quantities, to the right locations, ancl at the right

time, in order to minimize systemwide costs while satisfying service level

requirements.

Literaturc Review / 6

This definition leads to several observations. Firstly, supply chain

management takes into consideration every facility that has an impact on cost and

plays a role in making the product conform to customer requirements; from supplier

and manufacturing facilities through warehouses and distribution centers to retailers

and stores. lndeed, in some supply chain analysis, it is necessary to account for the

suppliers of suppliers and the customers of customers because they have an impact on

supply chain performance.

Secondly, the objective of supply chain management is to be efficient

and cost-effective across the entire system; total systemwide costs, from transportation

and distribution to inventories of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods,

are to be minimized. Thus, the emphasis is not on simply minimizing transportation

cost or reducing inventories, but rather, on taking a system approach to supply chain

management.

Finally, because supply chain management revolves around efficient

integration of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and stores, it encompasses the

firm's activities at many levels, from the strategic level through the tactical to the

operational level.

Logistics Management

Logistic management is the process of planning, implementing and

controlling the effrcient, cost effective flow and storage of raw materials, in-process

inventory, finished goods, and related information from point-of-origin to point-of-

consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.

Both definitions place greit emphasis on the integration of the

different components in the supply chain. Indeed, it is only through supply chain

a

o


aFac. of Grad. Studics, Mahidol Univ. M.Sc.(Tcch. of Inform. Sys. Manag.) / 7

integration that the firm can significantly reduce costs and improve service levels.

Unfortunately, supply chain integration is difficult for two main reasons:

l. Different facilities in the supply chain may have different,

conflicting, objectives. For instance, suppliers typically want

manufacturers to commit themselves to purchasing large quantities

in stable volumes with flexible delivery dates. Unfortunately,

although most manufacturers would like to implement long

production runs, they need to be flexible to their customers' needs

and changing demands. Thus, the suppliers' goals are in direct

conflict with the manufacturers' desire for flexibility. Indeed,

since production decisions are typically made without precise

information about custorner demand, the ability of rnanufacturers

to match supply and demand depends largely on their ability to

change supply volume as information about demand arrives.

Similarly, the manufacturers' objective of making large production

batches typically conflicts with the objective of both warehouses

and distribution centers to reduce inventory. To make matters

worse, this latter objective of reducing inventory levels typically

. implies an increase in transportation costs.

2. The supply chain is a dynamic system that evolves over time.

Indeed, not only do customer demand and supplier capabilities

change over time, but supply chain relation ships also evolve over

time. For example, as customers' power increases, there is

increased pressure placed on manufacturers and suppliers to

o

a


aCholatis Srikanthimarak Literature Rel'iew / 8

produce an enoffnous variety of high-quality products and,

ultimately, to produce customized products. Also, even when

customer demand for specific products does not \/ary greatly,

inventory and back-order levels fluctuate considerably across the

supply chain.

Just a few years ago, most analysts would have said that these two

objectives, improved service and inventory levels, cannot be achieved at the same

time. Indeed, traditional inventory theory is to increase service level, the firm must

increase inventory and therefore cost. Surprisingly, recent developments in

information and communications technologies, together with a better understanding of

supply chain strategies, has lead to innovative approaches that allow the firm to

improve both obj ectives simultaneously.

2.1.2 Just-in-Time Manufacturing [2-41

'Just-in-time' is a management philosophy and not a technique'

It originally referred to the production of goods to meet customer

demand exactly, in time, quality and quantity, whether the 'customer' is the final

purchaser of the product or another process further along the production line.

It has now come to mean producing with minimum waste. "waste" is

taken in its most general sense and includes time and resources as well as materials.

Elements of JIT include: Continuous improvement.

' Attacking fundamental problems - anything that does not add

value to the product.

' Devising systems to identifu problems.

a

o


Fac. of Grad. Studies, Mahidol Univ. M.Sc.(Tcch. of Inform. Sys. Manag.) / 9

Striving for simplicity - simpler systems may be easier

understand, easier to manage and less likely to go wrong.

A product oriented layout - produces less time spent moving of

materials and parts.

Quality control at source - workers are responsible fc'r the quality

of their own output.

Poka-yoke -'foolproof tools, methods, jigs etc. prevent mistakes

Preventative maintenance, Total productive maintenance -

ensuring machinery and equipment functions perfectly when it is

required, and continually improving it.

Eliminating waste. There are seven types of waste:

Good housekeeping - workplace cleanliness and organization.

Set-up time reduction - increases flexibility and allows smaller

batches. Ideal batch size is litem. Multi-process handling - a

multi-skilled workforce has greater productivity, flexibility and

job satisfaction.

o

a

a


aCholatis Srikanthimarak Litcrature Revicw / l0

Leveled / mixed production - to smooth the flow of products

through the factory.

Kanbans - simple tools to 'pull' products and components through

the process.

Jidoka (Autonomation) - providing machines with the autonomous

capability to use judgement, so workers can do more useful things

than standing watching them work.

Andon (trouble lights) - to signal problems to initiate corrective

action.

JIT - Background and History

JIT is a Japanese management philosophy which has been applied in

practice since the early 1970s in many Japanese manufacturing organisations. It was

first developed and perfected within the Toyota manufacturing plants by Taiichi Ohno

as a means of meeting consumer demands with minimum delays . Taiichi Ohno is

frequently referred to as the father of IIT.

Toyota was able to meet the increasing challenges for survival

through an approach that focused on people, plants and systems. Toyota realized that

JIT would only be successful if every individual within the organization was involved

and committed to it, if the plant and processes were arranged for maximurn output and

efficiency, and if quality and production programs were scheduled to meet demands

exactly.

JIT manufacturing has the capacity, when properly adapted to the

organization, to strengthen the organization's competitiveness in the marketplace

I

a


aFac. of Grad. Studies. Mahidol Univ. M.Sc.CIech. of Inform. Sys. Manag.) / I I

substantially by reducing wastes and improving product quality and efficiency of

production.

There are strong cultural aspects associated with the emergence of JIT

in Japan. The Japanese work ethic involves the following concepts.

' Workers are highly motivated to seek constant improvement upon

that which already exists. Although high standards are currently

being met, there exist even higher standards to achieve.

t Companies focus on group effort which involves the combining of

talents and sharing knowledge, problem-solving skills, ideas and the

achievement of a common goal.

' Work itself takes precedence over leisure. It is not unusual for a

Japanese employee to work l4-hour days.

' Employees tend to remain with one company throughotrt the course

of their career span. This allows the opportunity for them to hone

their skills and abilities at a constant rate while offering numerous

benefits to the company

These benefits manifest themselves in employee loyalty, Iow turnover

costs and fulfillment of company goals.

2.1.3 Definition of Purchasing Concept [51

The purchasing function traditionally encompasses the process of

buying. It involves determining the need, selecting the supplier, arriving at a proper

O price, specifying terms and conditions, issuing the contract or order and following up

to ensure proper delivery. In short, the purchasing function should obtain the proper

a

o



Literatue Review / 12

equipment, material, suppliers and services of the right quality, in the right quantity' at

the right price and from the right source. In this description' the purchasing function is

regarded primarily as an operational activity'

In practice, as well as in the literature, many terms and concepts are

used in the area of purchasing. However, no agreement exists about the definition of

these terms. Terms like procurement, purchasing, supply and logistics management is

used interchangeablY.

Therefore definition of purchasing is the obtaining from external

sources all goods and services that are necessary for running, maintaining and

managing the company's primary and support activities at the most favorable

conditions.

The purchasing function in this definition covers the responsibility for

those activities aimed at

. Determining the specification (in terms of required quality and

quantities) ofthe goods and services that need to be bought

. 'selecting the most suitable supplier

. Preparing and conducting negotiations with the supplier in order to

establish an agreement

. Placing the order with the selected supplier

. Monitoring and control of the order (expediting)

' After-care and evaluation (settling claims, keeping product and

supplier files up-to-date in terms of documentation and ranking).

Figure 2.2 schematically illustrates the main elements within the

purchasing function. It shows that these activities are closely interrelated.

The purchasing function does not include the responsibility for

materials requirements planning, materials scheduling, inventory management,

incoming inspection and quality control. However, in order to effective, purchasing

operations should be closely linked and interrelated to these materials activities.

From definition of purchasing, it may be derived that this covers all

activities from which the company receives and invoice from outside parties' Hence

purchasing includes intercompany business, countertrade arrangements, hiring of

temporary personnel from out side agencies. However, many of the activities, for

which the company may receive invoices from suppliers, may be arranged for without

interference of the purchasing department. Therefore the scope of the purchasing

function is usually much broader than that ofthe purchasing department.

With the term ordering, it refers to the placing of purchase orders at a

supplier against previously arranged conditions. Furthermore, this term used when

purchase orders are placed directly, without questioning the supplier's conditions.

Call-off orders fall into this category as telephone orders for products bor'rght from a

supplier catalogue. Ordering is a part of the purchasing process. In fact, it relates to theo


aCholatis Srikanthimarak Literature Revicw / 14

last three steps of the purchasing process. On the other hand, the term 'tactical

purchasing' refers to the first three steps.

From Figure 2.2, procurement is a somewhat broader term. It

includes all activities required in order to get the product from the supplier to its final

destination. It encompasses the purchasing function, stores, traffic and transportation,

incoming inspection, and quality control and assurance. Some firms also consider

salvage and environmental issues as part of procurement. This task is expected to

become more important in future years, with the increasing impact of environmental

pollution.

It is diffrcult to find a description of buying in management literature.

It differs from purchasing in the sense that it does not encompass the first step of the

purchasing process. This term is most often referred to the practice of'trading and

retail companies (e.g. department stores). Here, discussions about the specifications of

products to be purchased are more limited when compared to industrial companies,

because of in many cases these products are defined by the supplier.

Another term often used in the materials area it is supply. This is

somewhat more difficult to grasp, because it appears that there are differences in

connotation between North America and Europe. In America 'supply' covers the

stores function of internally consumed items such as offrce supplies, cleaning

materials, etc. However, in the United Kingdom and Europe, the tenn supply seems to

have a broader meaning to include at least purchasing, stores and receiving. The

governmental sector also uses this broader interpretation.

A term that is becoming more popular in the materials area

sourcing. It includes the following activities under this term. finding sources

supply, guaranteeing continuity in supply, ensuring alternative sources of supply,

gathering knowledge of procurable resources. Most of these activities relate to the

second step of the purchasing process, i.e. finding and selecting adequate suppliers.

2.2 Technical Review

2.2.1 Open database Connectivity (ODBC) [61

Open database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard devised by

Microsoft to enable any application to communicate with any database manager. The

standard of ODBC is based on the work of the SQL-Access Group, a group of

interested hardware, software and networking vendors who defined a common

database access method to simplify client/server computing. A key objective of this

group was defined as an SQL syntax that could be con'lmon to all datahase engines.

Microsoft has taken the core set of the Group's output and developed a call-level

interface that it has called Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). Now, most key

database server vendors and the suppliers for many desktop products provide an

ODBC interface via which the end-user has access to centrally stored data directly

from the desktop products. With the leverage, Microsoft currently has on the market

place and ODBC dominates client/server database connectivity.

o

ODBC Architecture

Figure 2.3 View of the ODBC: interlace

Desktop Applications make calls to a standard Microsoft-supplied

DLL called the Driver Manager. This driver manager loads the appropriate database

driver and passes calls to it. The data is accessed in relational form by passing SQL

command strings.

There are two main types of driver, the single-tier clriver which

manipulates database files directly - typically drivers are used for native PC databases

e.g. xBase or Paradox; and multi-tier drivers which generate SQtr- requests to be

processed by the RDBMS server. The multi-tier drivers come in many forms, some of

which requiie the use of the database system vendor's networking software (e.g.

IngresA.{et or SQL*Net). The driver is a Windows DLL loaded by the ODBC driver

manager. This DLL passes the SQL request to the database vendors network software

that communicates with the network software on the host. This conFrguration is

illustrated in ODBC Configuration below.

Drivers using this configuration are the Oracle drivers fiom Microsoft

(Q+E) drivers from Intersolv. Other drivers do not require the database vendors

networking software. They have one or more components that run on the client

machine and there is a component that nrns on the database server.

This figure shows the configuration of IXl-Visionware's SQL-

Retriever. One particular advantage of this software is that only one driver is used on

the client, regardless of the number of database servers that connecting to its.

The Openlink configuration, ODBC compliant applications establish a

session with the generic ODBC driver. The request agent on the client establishes a

database session via the request broker on the host. The request broker spawns or

replicates one or more database agents and associates with the request agent. The

database agents are the only database specific components. These act as clients to the

database server processes of the relevant database. The Openlink configuration

supports multiple concurrent client applications through a single driver instance.

2.2.2 Three-Tier Software Architecture [71

The three tier software architecture (three layer architectunes) emerged

in the 1990s to overcome the limitations of the two tier. The third tier (middle tier

server) is between the user interface (client) and the data management (server)

components. This middle tier provides process management where business logic and

rules are executed and can accommodate hundreds of users (as compared to only 100

users with the two tier architecture) by providing functions such as queuing,

application execution, and database staging. The three tier architecture is used when an

effective distributed client/server design is needed when it is compare to the two tier,

increased performance, .flexibilily, maintainabiliryt, reusability, and scalability,

whereas hiding the complexity of distributed processing from the user

These characteristics have made three layer architectures a popular

choice for lnternet applications and net-centric information systems.

A three tier distributed client/server architecture (as shorvn in Figure

2.7) includes a user system interface top tier where user services (such as session, text

input, dialog, and display management) reside.

Three Tiers

User System Intedace

Process Management

Database Management

Figure 2.7 Three tiers distrihuted client,'server archilecture

The third tier provides database management functionality and is

dedicated to data and file services that can be optimized without using any proprietary

database management system languages. The data management component ensures

that the data is consistent throughout the distributed environment through the use of

features such as data locking, consistency, and replication. It should be noted that

connectivity between tiers could be dynamically changed depending upon the user's

request for data and services.

The middle tier provides process managenlent services (such as

process development, process enactment, process monitoring, and process resourcing)

that are shared by multiple applications. The middle tier server (also referred to as the

application server) improves performance, flexibility, maintainability, reusability, and

o

scalability by centralizing process logic. Centralized process logic easily makes

administration and changes management by localizing system functionality so that the

changes must only be written once and placed on the middle tier server to be available

throughout the systems. With other architectural designs, a changeable function

(service) would need to be written into every applications.

The first tier receives requests from the Internet clients and generates

html using the services provided by the business layer. This additional layer provides

further isolation between the application layout and the application logic.

2.2.3 Active Server Pages (ASP) [E-91

An Active Server Page (ASP) is an HTIvIL page that includes one or

more scripts (small-embedded programs). The scripts are processed on a Microsoft

Web server before the page is sent to the user. ASP is somewhat similar to a Server-

Side Include (SSD or a common gateway interface (CGI) application that involve

programs run on the server and usually tailors apage for the user. Typically, the script

in the Web page that runs at the server received input as the result of the user's request.

Then, this input is sent through database and builds or customizes the page on the fly

before sending to the requestor.

ASP is a feature of the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). It

is used for replace the traditional server-side scripts that just building a regular HTML

page. ASP file can be created by including a script written in VBScript or JScript in an

HTML file or by using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) program statements in the

HTML file. The HTML frle is given name with the ".arp" file suffrx. Microsoft

o

o


oCholatis Srikanthimarak Literature Review / 22

recommends the use of the server-side ASP rather than a client-side script where there

is actually a choice, because the server-side script will result in an easily displayable

HTML page. Client-side scripts (for example, with JavaScript) may not work as

intended on older browsers.

Information technology (IT) has long been applied to support the exchange

interorganizational inf,ormation systems (IOIS) Iike EDI systems were introduced,

electronic markets emerged for business purchasing. However, it is only with the

advent of Internel.-based e-procurement syslenrs and business-to-husine,ss (B2B)

electronic markets that the real opportunities for arry-to-any (A21t) online transactions

have opened up across space and over time. The extensive connectivity has been

other aspect is that purchasing firms expect to maintain established long-term

relationships with preferred suppliers. As a result, privalc aggregating antl negotiating

CHAPTER tV

RESULTS

This chapter is divided into 2 parts there are the designing results and the

development results.

4.1 Designing Results

This research use concept of three-tiers software architecture as the original

structure of system that will be explained as following.

4.1.1 User Interface Design (First Tier: Web Selver)

User Interface Design is used to join the connection between second-tier and

third-tier. The information that shows on web page is retrieved from Database Server.

The Web Server generated the content can be change according to the need of user and

developer without changing of database structure and Application Server. The content

can be decorated by using 'style sheet' such as font, color, alignment, etc.

Furthermore, this tier can control accessibility level and permission using username

and password that is separated as supplier user and OEM user.

4.1.2 Application Design (Second Tier: Application Server)

Designing application has 3 major components that are Input, Process and

Output. Firstly, Input of system is a text file that contains automotive parts data using

in production sector. It can be divided into 2 types: Estimate Order and Delivery

Order. Estimate Order provides a forecast data of automotive parts, which requires 3Copyright by Mahidol University

months in advance. While Delivery Order provides acfual requirement of automotive

parts and contains data such as due date, due time, receiving plant, receiving dock and

etc. In both text files, all line of data contains 'Data Type' field. It used for

classification data which are:

MA : WeeHy Order - Delivery confirmation especially parts that are ordered

o

weekly in advance

MB = Weekly (Time

production begin

Delivery) - Due time confirmation of MA before

o

MC : Weekly Estimote - Valid only Estimate Order text file

MD = Daily Parts Order - Delivery confirmation especially parts that are

ordered 4day inadvance

ME: Emergency order - Parts that are damaged by oEM or emergency parts

MF: Claim Order - Parts that are damaged by suppliers

MG = Order Cancel

MH: Order Due Date Change

MK: Part Supply Schedule - Informs consignee about parts that will receive

from suppliers

RA : Actual Shipping Notice (ASN) - Informs OEM about invoice number,

delivery date, time and amount of part from suppliers

The other data contains in each text file as shown in table below:

CHAPTERV

DISCUSSION

E-procgreme,lrt Web Application prototlpe for automotive industries is a

business model that is doing business online. This model is offered to be one soh$ion

of dara exchange for agtomotive indushies that involve OEM (Original Equipment

Ivlanufrctudng) and zuppliers. For OEIvIs, ttre developed protot5pe provides the

services of ordoing automotive parts and receiving delivery confirmation from their

sqppliers. For zuppliers, this prototlpe provides the service of receiving automotive

parts for requirement of OEM and sending ASN (Actuat Shrpprng Notice) for confirm

automotive parts quantity that will be delivered to production plaut. In this way, this

prototlpe has many intoesting points, uftich are analped below.

5.1 Strengths

1. From traditional systeq the ordering parts fiom zuppliers can perform

by frcsimile or attach the orders with carrier, but these methods take a time. Unlike the

proposed system, this prototpe oftrs the process in providing the service of

exchangeable data via Internet. The suppliers can receive the data irnmediately

thnough web application and convince the accuracy of data With the concept of

applylng the Intemet tecbnology, this prototype accommodates the exchangeable data

Mr*,een OENIs and strppliers.


Fac. of Grad. Studic,lvlahidol Univ. NLSc.Cfech. of Inform. Sys. Ivlanag.) / 79

Z. This developed prototlpe is a way of the reduction of paper work in

process. The mditional system used tons of paper for sending order via frcsimile or

attaching it with carriers.

3. This prototlpe can reduce cost of system implementation If corporate

want to implement thir ryrt -, they must prepare network and system infrastructure

becagse this system is a client-server application The information of hardware and

software specification is shoum below:

fee is 4 bah/KB. Therefore, the cost of e-procurement web application is cheaper thm

EDI and the range of price that supplier will pay a month is shoum below:

5.2 Weknwses

1. The developed system is just a prototlpe which offers the model for

doing the business, it is not yet a corylete system" The script for handling text files

(delivery order or estimate order) has to activate by schedule program ufiich depends

on the file transfer t' ing. On the other han4 after ASN is sent completely, the qrctem

will have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) prograrn for transfer file from suppliers to

OEM immediately.

2. If the text file that receives from OEM is a large file (-lMB) for one

suppliern there is a problem in viewing data and printmg reports from web application

The system will slow doum from loading both data and reports via Internet. The

sohrtion for this proble,m is using software for printing reports that has to install into

client computer. Then, the next process use the download firnction from web

application to download text file(s) into client coryrfier and load it into printing

software for generating reports.

3. This prototype can not handle muhiple conrmrmity. Each supplier can

suppty automotive parts to multiple OEM. But the format of dafa and reports that send

and receive is not the same. Then, web application will be modified for appropriate

work of zupplier. While EDI is zupport multiple corrmuoity using document mapping

software.

4. There is other cost tbat raise from this web application It is the cost of

time. The zupplier has to invest eryloyee to check for the order that is sent from

oEl{.

53 The benefits of an e-procurement web application prototype for automotive

industries

This developd prototype offers business model which apply advantage of

internet technology to the automotive business. It has many bnefits uftich are:

1. This prototlpe enables any organization or company to otfiain the

exchangeable data conveniently. It provides the service that helps those organizations

reduce the cost and time from traditional method. Furthermore, It does not consider

where the organization or company is locate4 because they can get the services by

usirg Internet.

2. This prototype reduces cost of system irylementation that shown in

Stength section Moreover, It uses concept of JIT for reduction of stock holding cost.

The cost reductionbenefit for automotive OEI!{.

3. If zuppliers fmd some error in dara they can infotm OEM to re-send

that dilaimediately.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMEIITDATION

6.1 Conclusion

An e-procurement web application prototyp for automotive indusAy is one

of blsiness model applying Idemet technology to exchangeable data betwee'n OE}vIs

and zuppliers via Iffemet. The developed prototlpe is ofrered as one way to solve the

problem of high consrytion sf many kfods of resources zuch as paper, money and

time from the traditional method. Moreover, this proto6pe conveniently accesses from

everywhere using Internet.

This prototlpe can be regarded as a tlpe of e-Business. So the research

methodology considers business model that involves t\is prototlpe. There are 2 tlps

of involved business ie. OEMs and strppliers. OEIvIs are coqpaoies t.hat assemble

automotive parts from planned model Suppliers are produce$ of automotive parts that

supply OEhlb. Therefore, OEIvIs do involve abundant automotive parts in each

production For this reason, OEMS are production plamers who calculate the

requirement of automotive parts for each supplier. This requiremetr is called 'order'

aod divided in 2 tpes which are the estimate order and the delivery order. The

estimate order is forecast 3 months in advance for quantity of ar$omotive parts. While

the delivery order is astual automotive parts requireme,ff that specify quantity, due

date and due time. Both orders are sent in accordance with umge requiremed. They

have been sending schedule such as once a week or everyday which depends on the

tpe of thgt part. On the other hanq after suppliers received delivery order, they haveCopyright by Mahidol University

to confirm actual quantrlies that wilt send though OEIvIs. Because OEM will find

another supplier, ifthat order has some problems (erergency order).

In ths development step, the prototlp is developed on Windows 2000

operating syste,m and uses Internet Infomation System for web sewer. About

Datahse, NIS SQL Server is usd. As it can manage a lot of data more effectively. In

the developrent tools, lvlacromedia theamweaver is used for design interfrces and

ASP scrbts isused indevelop webhsed application

The result, the protoffi can show handling data that received fiom OEIt[s

and stored it into Datahse. Moreover, tlis prototlpe shows web interfrrcs that

conveniently data exchange befirveeNr OEIvIs and zuppliers. This method can make the

accurate data and prevelrt losing dda Besides, system stores receiving date and time

and inclldes ASN se,nding date and time. This storage will be benefit in tracking data

whenthe eror occurs.

Finally, the developed proto6pe was tested by data posting fiom several

zuppliers into rystem to veriff accuracy. Moreover, it was tested via Internet by

dedicate host to erxiure prototype working proper$ via Internet.

62 Recommendations

1. In report printing of large records (-llvlts), supplier can doumload text

files and uses reprt printing softrrane instead of printing from web. Becatse report

loading vialnternet take more time.

2. Security is another important frctor in doing online busine.ss. The

security system must be considered in the fu rank of doing online business. It will

create confidence inthe users that using web application

3. This prototlpe can be supprted the handling of multiple corr'-unity.

Because each supplier can send the same automotive part to another OEM. Supplier

wiltnot change the wayto receive orders from several OEIvI.

' 4. This prototlpe can be adapted to another business that involves the

supply chain qualification zuch as retail business, health cae business, etc.

5. In the aptual syste,m implementation, th€re will be a schedule for

sending text files (estimate order or delivery ordeD from OEM to suppliers.In order to

check the order from web application in each day, zuppliers can recognize time from

the schedule.
