Abstract
Supply chain management and logistics are the top priorities to help businesses have a
competitive advantage. Purchasing is a strategic and essential segment of the Supply Chain as
it is the first that drives the other supply chain steps. This research aims to study for procedure
and duration of traditional purchases, to survey for method and time of purchasing 4.0, and finally,
to compare and analyze both processes to explore the technology in the purchasing system for
reducing process and duration and is suitable for investment or not. The population focuses on
raw materials in six items used in production processes. The observation by participant observation is a tool to collect data on procedure and duration within four months. The data analysis uses a flow process chart showing the process flow of all information and the average period of 6 items. According to the study, adopting the purchasing process 4.0 can reduce the operational total of 2 steps. The total time of traditional purchasing operation was 876 minutes or 1.8 days, and the real-time purchasing 4.0 process was 452 minutes or 0.9 days, with actual purchasing time reduced by 424 minutes or 48.4 percent. The study results show that case study companies should improve their purchasing processes from traditional to purchasing 4.0 to lead to sustainable business growth and achieve long-term organizational goals.
