Abstract :
Bid Optimization Sourcing System (BOSS) for Less Container Load (LCL) is a web-based intelligent tool for Philips to refine his procurement process and improve the efficiency and accuracy. As one of the largest global logistics service buyers, Philips has to spend much attention to the service provider (SP) selection every year. However, after the deployment in 2009, BOSS has made great contribution in decision-making and increased competitiveness to Philips, which made the LCL procurement process much easier. This paper presents the design of BOSS along with the Service Provider Selection Problem (SPSP) facing by LCL procurement process.
