Optimization of Bearings Procurement Strategy Using The Kraljic Matrix Approach at PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara (SGN)

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan strategi pengadaan bearings di PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara (SGN) melalui pendekatan Matriks Kraljic. Bearingsmerupakan komponen strategis yang memiliki dampak tinggi terhadap keberlangsungan operasional pabrik dan memerlukan strategi pengadaan yang tepat. Strategi pengadaan sebelumnya yang bersifat administratif dan reaktif belum menjamin efisiensi proses dan kontinuitas pasokan. Melalui klasifikasi kategori pengadaan berdasarkan Matriks Kraljic, serta evaluasi proses dengan pendekatan Business Process Improvement (BPI) dan Value Added Analysis (VAA), dilakukan redesain proses pengadaan yang lebih efisien. Implementasi e-Catalogue dan e-Purchasing melalui Integrated Procurement System (IPS) yang terhubung dengan ERP SAP terbukti mempercepat waktu proses dari Purchase Request (PR) hingga Purchase Order (PO), menekan aktivitas non-value-added, dan memperkuat akuntabilitas pengadaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa durasi proses pengadaan dapat dipangkas menjadi rata-rata 6 hari dan beban administratif berkurang signifikan. Selain memberikan efisiensi operasional, strategi ini berdampak pada penguatan pengambilan keputusan berbasis data, peningkatan kompetensi SDM, transparansi hubungan vendor, serta kontribusi terhadap keberlanjutan rantai pasok. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penerapan bertahap strategi e-Procurement pada kategori strategic item lainnya di lingkungan SGN.

This study aims to optimize the procurement strategy for bearings at PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara (SGN) using the Kraljic Matrix approach. Bearings are classified as strategic components with a high impact on plant operational continuity and therefore require an appropriate and structured procurement strategy. The previous procurement practices, which were predominantly administrative and reactive in nature, did not sufficiently ensure process efficiency or supply continuity. By classifying procurement categories based on the Kraljic Matrix and evaluating procurement processes through the Business Process Improvement (BPI) and Value Added Analysis (VAA) approaches, a more efficient procurement process was redesigned. The implementation of e-Catalogue and e-Purchasing through the Integrated Procurement System (IPS), which is integrated with the SAP ERP system, has proven effective in accelerating the procurement cycle time from Purchase Request (PR) to Purchase Order (PO), reducing non-value-added activities, and strengthening procurement accountability.The results indicate that the procurement process duration can be reduced to an average of six days, accompanied by a significant decrease in administrative workload. In addition to improving operational efficiency, the proposed strategy enhances data-driven decision-making, strengthens human resource competencies, increases transparency in vendor relationships, and contributes to supply chain sustainability. This study recommends the gradual implementation of e-Procurement strategies for other strategic item categories within the SGN environment.
