Abstract
PT Kapal Darya is the foremost provider of roll-on/roll-off ferry transport services in Indonesia that takes upon the responsibility of ensuring affordable sea transportation and logistics for the public throughout the archipelago. They always commit to drive an increase performance of the company and contribution to the country as well. One of the things that can affect company performance is the procurement process. Unfortunately, currently the procurement process in PT Kapal Darya still exceeds that target completion time. The delayed in the procurement process will certainly have an impact such as delay the project implementation which further increases costs, leads to poor project execution performance and delays the delivery of benefits to the beneficiaries. Therefore, this thesis aims to analyse the problems that occur and propose solution that can improve the procurement process and increase the efficiency. The main concept that will be used is Lean Six Sigma with DMAIC framework. The improvements that can be implemented to increase the efficiency of procurement process is the use of E-Procurement application which also covers the developing of Vendor Management Systems. This solution has several benefits such as increase transparency and accountability, supports the process of monitoring, tracking and reminder, and also meet the real time access to information needs.
