Abstract

The efficiency of raw material procurement plays a vital role in the success of manufacturing companies. Supplier satisfaction is an important factor that influences the smooth functioning of procurement activities and long-term business relationships. This study focuses on analyzing supplier satisfaction towards raw material procurement practices in a manufacturing company. It examines key factors such as timely payment, communication, transparency, and order management that affect supplier satisfaction. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaires from suppliers, and the data was analyzed using statistical tools such as percentage analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings reveal that most suppliers are satisfied with the company’s procurement practices, with timely payment and effective communication being the most influential factors. The study also provides suggestions to improve procurement efficiency and strengthen supplier relationships.
