Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current internet-based purchasing methods are inefficient due to manual bidder selection, inadequate management of tender objects, and time-consuming processes from tender notice to actual order, requiring significant human and material resources.
Innovation Solution
An automatic internet-based purchasing system that includes a web server, databases, and a program for screening companies, managing registrations, and automating the bidder selection and ordering processes, allowing for collective item ordering across companies and establishments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual screening and bidder selection is used in tender purchasing, then human and material resources can be allocated flexibly, but time consumption increases and economic efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service functionality where the purchasing system automatically screens bid documents, evaluates bidders against predetermined criteria, and selects winning bidders without requiring manual human intervention for these routine tasks, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining operational flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical screening processes with an automated computer-based system that uses algorithms and predetermined evaluation criteria to screen bid documents and select bidders, eliminating the time-consuming manual review process while preserving the ability to flexibly configure evaluation parameters
2Productivity
If internet-based tender notice and document acceptance is implemented, then human and material resources are economized, but automatic bidder selection and efficient management functions are still insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering bidder companies and storing their information in advance, and by predetermined evaluation criteria before the actual bidding process begins, enabling automatic screening and selection during the tender process without requiring manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The purchasing system incorporates feedback mechanisms where bid documents are automatically evaluated against predetermined criteria, and the system provides feedback on evaluation results and bidder rankings, enabling continuous automatic optimization of the selection process while maintaining resource efficiency
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate ordering is performed by each company or establishment, then individual needs are met, but time consumption increases and collective purchasing advantages are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges separate ordering processes by enabling multiple companies and establishments to place their purchasing requirements through a unified internet-based platform, where orders for similar items are automatically aggregated and processed collectively, reducing time consumption and leveraging collective purchasing power while still accommodating individual needs
