Download or read book Analysis of Small Business Perspective on the Electronic Data Interchange Acquisition Reform written by Paul Hagen and published by . This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines small business' perception of utilizing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as a means to conduct business. The general concept and history of EDI is discussed along with a synopsis of current Government EDI systems in use. The results of two surveys are analyzed to provide an insight on the effect the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act is having on small business' opportunity to obtain Government Contracts. Additionally, interviews were conducted with several Government personnel to get their opinions on the progress of EDI in the workplace. The major conclusion drawn is that the majority of small businesses are willing to utilize EDI as a means to conduct business. But in its current form (i.e. FACNET) small businesses find it difficult to use and too expensive. The need to use a simpler and more cost-effective means is necessary to ensure that all small businesses have the opportunity to compete for Government contracts without cutting into their profit margins.

Download or read book Implementing Electronic Data Interchange EDI with Small Business Suppliers in the Pre award Acquisition Process written by Robert B. Sergeson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the implementation of electronic data interchange (EDI) with small business suppliers in the pre-award acquisition process. The general history and concept of EDI is discussed along with the pre- award acquisition process. The results of a small business survey are analyzed to provide insight on the barriers and impediments to implementing EDI with small business concerns. Additionally, interviews and discussions with major corporations were conducted to identify common lessons learned by these corporations in their efforts to implement EDI with their small business supplier base. The major conclusion drawn is that DoD can successfully implement EDI with its small business supplier base in the preaward acquisition process. It was determined that the following key factors are crucial to successful implementation of EDI with small business: (1) provide effective training; (2) specifically direct grant funding to the Procurement Technical Assistance Centers; (3) require the Small Business Administration to aggressively sponsor and implement EDI training; (4) draft legislation to modify or eliminate restrictive laws and regulations; and (5) foster the use of Value-Added Networks, Trading Partner Agreements, and EDI Service Bureaus. These efforts would provide the basic infrastructure to enable DoD to train, nurture, and help problem solve with small businesses once DoD becomes totally reliant upon EDI.

Schwoebel and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many technological innovations in recent years that have paved the way toward bringing to the business environment a capability that will effectively eliminate, over time, the need to either create or accommodate paper transactions as a standard practice of conducting business. With downsizing and shrinking budgets, the Army and DoD are placing major emphasis into new cost and resource saving efforts - Electronic Commerce (EC) through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a necessity for a all Of DoD's service level small computer acquisition programs. This paper examines this new technology with an objective of analyzing the feasibility of implementing EC/EDI in the current Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract delivery order business process in the Army's Small Computer Program. It provides a non- technical overview on the subject, a look at the DoD EC/EDI infrastructure, an overview on the Small Computer Program, and lastly a Small Computer Program EC/ EDI implementation strategy including a cost/benefit analysis.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Economic Effects of Improper Electronic Data Interchange Methods at a Small Company written by Cynthia Garlick and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to provide insight into the financial implications of inefficient implementation of electronic data interchange (EDI) systems for the use of processing electronic customer orders, as well as discuss why proper EDI adoption is critical. The specific objective of this study is to estimate the annual cost of improper use of EDI based on employee time spent manually entering orders that are received via EDI transmission. The estimated costs are used to calculate net present value (NPV) over the life of the investment in technology for up to a 10-year time frame. The findings provide organizations who currently use EDI systems, or are looking to adopt, with the information necessary for (a) efficient implementation to obtain the largest cost savings and benefits possible and (b) determining the cost-effectiveness of investments in employee trainings on EDI use. Primary data was collected for this study from one specific firm which was determined to be using inefficient EDI practices, lowering their return on investment (ROI) in this technology. The data referenced salaries, time and cost estimates obtained from professionals at the firm. After the primary data was collected and converted to dollars, a financial analysis was projected over a 10-year time frame. The NPV of the cumulative expenses incurred from inefficient EDI implementation was calculated using a five percent discount rate to estimate the benefit the firm could gain by investing in improving the efficiency of EDI use. The results show that inefficient EDI implementation decreases the expected ROI from the initial investment. If the firm continues their inefficient methods, they can stand to lose at least $143,710 over five years and $206,434 over ten years. It is in the firm's best interest to change their methods, invest in training, and adopt better practices. For further research, it would be beneficial to conduct an in-depth analysis on all inefficient EDI practices, instead of only order entry processes. Data should also be collected to analyze the emotional cost endured by employees that experience burnout and job dissatisfaction as a direct result from inefficient implementation. The findings in this study, and future research, will guide organizations to use proper techniques from the point of implementation so that they can maximize the benefits of EDI in improving operational efficiency.
