III. CXeBuy
CXeBuy- a new procurement system
What? Electronic procurement system: enables the users to access electronic catalogues and transmit orders through
internet to more then 400 suppliers.
Main goal:
applying Internet-based tools to build the most efficient purchasing process and capability in the industry
Strategy: web-enable the procurement of goods and services for five of the airline spend categories
(in-flight service, cargo, information technology, marketing and office supplies)
How? First Oracle Internet Procurement solution (OIP) ever implemented by Oracle for an airline
Why Oracle? Other e-marketplaces Cathay wanted to connect with were using Oracle platform
Predicted savings in operating expenses approx. US $ 38 million per year (inventory reduction US$10 million)
III. CXeBuy
Expected benefits
For APD
Easier to use
More product information in a more accessible format
Customized product and supplier information to meet individual and departmental requirements
Faster order fulfillment
For suppliers
III. CXeBuy
Weakness:
New system lacks inventory management function which EMPACS used to have
Ultimate objective:
platform
Get the suppliers who were supporting CXeBuy to eventually move on to the e-marketplaces
shifting the burden of maintaining an electronic catalogue from Cathay to the e-marketplaces
III. CXeBuy
Implementation
3 phases over 14 months
1st phase:
identified
stakeholders
2nd phase:
3rd phase:
full integration
III. CXeBuy
Issues through the processes of customization and parameterization
Cataloguing
Systems integration
Need for full integration with EMPACS and FMIS so that the purchase process could be linked with the goods-receiving and goods-payment process
Stock requisition info was interfaced between CxeBuy and EMPACS daily.
III. CXeBuy
Impact
APD:
in 2001: 4600 orders through CXeBuy parallel with EMPACS until 2002
At the end of 3rd phase: total procurement via CXeBuy US $50 million
III. CXeBuy
CXeBuy is not cost effective for complicated and
intangible items
Efficiencies of CXeBuy
Automation of requisition
Major improvements:
High number of transaction of goods with relatively small value
III. CXeBuy
Roll-out started in Hong Kong
March 2002: global roll-out commenced with
Australia (6 airports)
Total 48 airports around the world
