The Procurement Process
Procurement consists of cycles of sourcing and
buying transactions, which depend on each other
  • Money on the Table
  • Identify a need and negotiate and manage
    contracts
  • New or better contract creates the opportunity to
    save money
  • Money in the Bank
  • Items are purchased based on existing contracts

3
Strategic Sourcing is a collaborative and
systematic process
The goal is to simultaneously
  • Reducing total cost of materials and services for
    an organisation while increasing quality and
    service
  • Leveraging internal expenditures while
    rationalising the supply base
  • Optimising the internal and external supply chain
    while managing inventory levels on a commodity by
    commodity basis (not one size strategy fits
    all)
  • Improving organisational awareness of the Total
    Cost of Ownership while reducing excessive
    levels of requisitioning and complexity
  • Building the organisations competitive position
    through continuous improvement and supplier
    added-value

Sourcing Procurement Value Proposition
  • Procurement improvements may offer a less
    disruptive, more effective opportunity to impact
    the bottom line.

Based on the following estimate of costs, as a
percentage of revenue 55 manufacturing
materials services 18 labor 7.5 other
costs Assumes a 20 gross contribution margin
6
Significant opportunities have been identified in
most industries
  • Enterprises often derive significant savings from
    making small improvements in supplier-facing
    processes and spend management.

Strategic Sourcing delivers greater value than
traditional purchasing approaches

    Traditional Purchasing

World Class Procurement can be defined using the
following seven dimensions

Characterised by
Characterised by
  • Functional Responsibilities
  • No Common Focus
  • Lengthy Cycle Time
  • Joint Responsibilities
  • Enhanced Communications
  • Consistent Supplier Interface
  • Short Cycle Time

10
The maturity of a procurement organisation can be
defined using the model below
  • Strategy fully supports the corporate goals and
    driven by corporate consensus
  • Managing the supply risk while leveraging the
    competitive strengths
  • Nurturing supplier relationships
  • Supplier base share improvement target for cost
    and innovation added value
  • Full visibility and trust across the external
    value chain
  • Procurement maintains a rationalised supplier
    network that delivers technology, knowledge,
    products or service quality superior to
    competitors

Stage 5 Pioneering
World Class Procurement
  • Procurement strategy aligned to corporate
    strategy
  • Suppliers selected for strategic fit and deliver
    continuous improvement
  • Data driven decision making
  • Full support over purchasing cycle
  • Risk sharing higher with the organisations
    co-located and jointly financed
  • Business planning optimises all commercial
    aspects, tax, investment, people

Stage 4 High Performing
Alliance
  • Formal Planning processes
  • Focus on Supplier Relationship Management and
    sharing business plans
  • Longer term, bigger value contracts with fewer
    suppliers
  • Collaboration on cost improvement, increased
    levels of risk sharing
  • Trained and qualified resources supporting all
    categories of spend
  • Key Performance Indicators in place.

Stage 3 Advancing
Level of Added Value
Partnership
Stage 2 Developing
  • - Some category strategy creation, but not
    company wide, and not communicated effectively
  • - Volume leverage through effective use of
    competition across categories
  • - Track commercial measure of performance,
    targets for savings
  • Technology enables i.e. purchase to pay cycle
    improvement through automation
  • Selected supplier base consolidation
  • Training and recognition of skills required

Purchasing
Stage 1 Reacting
Buying
  • Needs not anticipated, data not available or not
    used
  • No organisation wide procurement strategy, large
    supplier base
  • Transactional focus
  • Procurement provides ad-hoc tactical support
  • Low skills and resource, little career planning

Design Program
Key Change Leadership fundamentals are necessary
throughout implementation of the methodology to
ensure successful results
  • Develop vision and strategy
  • Redesign infrastructure
  • Measure performance
  • Enroll stakeholders
  • Develop new values, skills, and behaviours
  • Communicate vision and strategy

12
Assessing the Opportunity
Outcomes
Actions
  • Team Charter
  • Current stakeholders
  • Overview of external spending/related costs
  • Identification of specific sourcing opportunities
    and issues
  • Initial Sourcing Team Communication Plan
  • Stakeholder buy-in to program scope and
    opportunities
  • Develop team charter
  • Identify stakeholders
  • Document size of buy
  • Document inventory
  • Stratify the buy
  • Communicate team scope

13
The data collected can lead the Strategic
Sourcing Team to identify Quick Hits
  • Quick Hits are the Low hanging fruitand can
    provide
  • Instant savings to the company
  • Credibility to the work of the team
  • Building support for further activity

Early on in the process, opportunities may arise
that can be acted upon by the Sourcing Team, or a
separate initiative to capture cost and process
savings right away.
14
Assess the Internal Supply Chain
Actions
Outcomes
  • Identify demand drivers
  • Perform specification review
  • Perform specification gap analysis
  • Perform specification standardization review
  • Perform supplier specification review
  • Identify all related Total Cost activities
  • Map current process steps
  • Evaluate effectiveness of the current process
  • Determine Total Cost of Process
  • Benchmark Total Cost process
  • Identify process opportunities
  • List of customer expectations and requirements
  • List of current and future internal product and
    service requirements
  • List of successful practices being used outside
    the enterprise
  • Detailed specifications review
  • Initial supplier interfaces that begin supplier
    selection process
  • Detailed process map of the internal supply chain
    process
  • Total Cost analysis

15
When analysing process maps, look for rework,
redundant activities, excessive work process
handoffs and corrective actions as areas for
improvement.
Tips for process mapping
  • Mapping Tips
  • Always map process as it actually occurs, not as
    it should occur
  • Utilise direct observation when possible
  • There may be several maps to account for
    variations by location, commodity, etc.
  • You will often encounter subprocesses within
    larger processes
  • The flowchart should be understandable to
    non-users of the process.

Note Actual process maps are completed in
greater detail.

Step 3 - Assess the Supply Markets
Actions
Outcomes
  • Identify potential sources of supply
  • Evaluate industry(ies)

  • List of successful procurement practices being
    used outside the enterprise
  • List of viable suppliers
  • Initial supplier assessment and comparative
    analysis
  • List best performing suppliers

17
Some key tools for supplier market evaluation
  • Supplier Value Chain analysis
  • Useful for understanding supplier position and
    potential savings levels
  • Sources of data include suppliers, public
    financial data, industry reports, etc.
  • Five forces model
  • Useful for understanding relative bargaining
    power in a category
  • Who sets the price you or your supplier?
