Procurement process of Robi Axiata Ltd.

Abstract

"Information System" what do we mean by it well it is an integrated communication system by the use of which we can figuratively hold the whole wide world in our hand. It is the single most important invention of the 21st century and Mobile communication is a major part of this integrated system. When consumers were tied to a fixed phone with its fixed phone number few years back, mobile and cellular phones have proliferated to meet the demand for communication anytime, anywhere in the world. Robi is one of the companies that has accelerated and sought out every nook and cranny of telecom products and services for both consumers and businesses. Companies that have not foreseen change--or kept up--are quickly consigned to the technological and financial graveyard, Robi being just the latest example. Financial muscle has been displaced by quality and depth of management and speed of execution as the final arbiter in the telecom marketplace by Robi. And I had the opportunity to work with the supply chain department of the finance division team as an intern for three months. The report is the reflection of that three months learning and hard work. The report has been started with the basic overview of Robi, its departments and has moved to the main topic of Procurement Process. Since the process involves vendors that is why a short chapter is included about vendors, its selection strategies etc. However, I have focused mostly on the Procurement process and tried to shed light on every aspect of its components. Since the entire process is confidential therefore, I am unable to provide specific information which would further make the project interesting. Lastly, the report concludes with few of the recommendation that I thought can make the process more efficient and ends with references of some of the sources that have supported me in finishing these report.
