Executive Summary Our company is a medium size cabinetry manufacturing company, looking for software to improve supply chain management system. I was asked to find a RFP that fits in our requirements and situation. After doing some research on the internet, I have an overview of RFP. “A Request for Proposal (RFP) is the primary document that is sent to suppliers that invites them to submit a proposal to provide goods or services. Internally, an RFP can also be referred to as a sourcing project, a document, or an associated event” (Wheaton, 2008). Basic on the requirements provided by the company, three reliable RFP for SCM were found by the research on the internet. The three RFPs are from United Nations Development Programme, Healthcare Supply Chain Network and WinWinD. By analysing the pros and cons of each RFP, Healthcare Supply Chain Network’s RFP was selected.
