HO CHI MINH CITY OPEN UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITÉ LIBRE DE BRUXELLES SOLVAY BRUSSELS SCHOOL OF ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT ACADEMIC TUTOR AND PRACTICAL TUTOR’S COMMENT AND APPROVAL SIGNATURE HO CHI MINH CITY OPEN UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITÉ LIBRE DE BRUXELLES SOLVAY BRUSSELS SCHOOL OF ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT ABSTRACT From an observation and involvement on services performance deficiencies, procurement services performance is a critical importance to the business, especially in this VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, when there are lots of uncertainties happen every day, this has changed the way we make decisions, plan for the future, manage risks and solve problems. For this project, we have been facing with the pain points on how to support the stakeholders (requesters) to meet the business’s demand, we also have internal issues related to functional process, deliver the aggressive target, build the strong team capability and build up the people development plan for talent sustainability. The methodology we have applied here is to process a satisfaction survey for the stakeholders as well as the team member’s feedbacks and expectation. We also have data analysis process to identify the root causes and deficiencies of procurement services performance.
In the result of survey, most of the root causes came from: the working environment, procurement procedure, the workflow and work load from internal procurement side; there is also lack of the understanding about the policy and process from the stakeholders, the business needs in an urgent basis which are mostly unplanned, and the issues from the product quality justification. At a proposal for improvement, we have recommended some solutions to resolve the issues and for further services improvement in collaboration with the stakeholders to resolve the urgent basis, review and simplify the current procurement process and reduce the work load for the team; continue the 360 survey feedbacks from the stakeholders, also improve the working environment with a sufficient people development frame work.
