Creating and implementing Sample Clauses

Creating and implementing a standardized product catalogue Given the large number of products (see Table 1), it is challenging to construct a detailed product catalogue that would cover the procurement needs of a diverse set of institutions. This is the main reason why ChileCompra opted to allow the suppliers to determine the attributes of the products for which they would submit bids in the first place. However, as argued above, the lack of standardization in these product attributes made it hard to determine whether two bids corresponded to the same product (in the auction stage) or whether a new product was already offered by another supplier in the FA (in the operation stage). The solution proposed was to (i) define the attributes of each product that needs to be procured in the catalogue in the auction stage, and (ii) limit the entry of new products not contained in this catalogue. It was important for these attributes to be verifiable in order to ensure that the winning bids actually supplied the product that was specified in the catalogue. Moreover, well-defined and verifiable product attributes would enable a rigorous audit to evaluate whether new products added during the operation of the FA were indeed not contained in the original catalogue, thereby limiting the artificial differentiation that suppliers were introducing. In order to create the catalogue, we used natural language processing (NLP) techniques to process the unstructured text with the product description in order to generate standardized attributes for each SKU. The process we followed is described next. First, we collected data from external retail catalogues published online and defined a basic product hierarchy based on this catalogue. We used external catalogues because product de- scriptions and their categorization were more precise and consistent compared to the product descriptions of products sold in the Food FA used by ChileCompra. Second, we processed the unstructured text of product descriptions to identify relevant at- tributes that could be used to standardize products. Identified attributes were stored in a dictionary, which was expanded as the algorithm was trained. The algorithm also identified products for which there was low confidence in the attribute identification, separating them out for manual inspection. This approach consisting of hybrid classification using NLP and manual inspection was based on the work of Sun et al. (2014) and adapted to the context of our data (see Xxxxxx L´xxxx...
