Abstract
This cooperative education report entitled “Enhancing Efficiency in the Procurement Workflow at Gorkha Brewery Private Limited (GBPL)” highlights my experiential learning as a Procurement Intern under the Integrated Supply Chain Department. The internship aimed to bridge academic learning with practical industry exposure, focusing on logistics documentation, and vendor coordination within a leading FMCG company in Nepal. During the 16-week internship period, I assisted the Procurement team in handling Letter of Credit (LC) and Delivery Order (DO) applications, drafting quotation approvals and vendor agreements, performing Third Party Screenings (TPS), and coordinating international shipments through DHL. These activities provided valuable insights into procurement operations, compliance requirements, and interdepartmental coordination essential for ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The study identifies several operational challenges including limited digital integration, communication delays, dependency on external vendors, and regulatory constraints. To address these, the report recommends transitioning to an integrated e-procurement system, strengthening communication mechanisms, promoting vendor diversification, and enhancing compliance training. This co-op experience not only enhanced my technical and analytical skills but also developed key soft skills such as attention to detail, teamwork, and adaptability. The internship served as a practical platform to apply theoretical knowledge from coursework in supply chain, finance, and management. Overall, the experience provided a comprehensive understanding of how procurement contributes to operational excellence and sustainable growth within GBPL and reinforced my interest in pursuing a career in supply chain and marketing procurement management.
