Is the goal a comprehensive and consolidated business solution? Integrated e-procurement mgmt necessary What are you trying to improve? Step 1: Clarify Your Goals Select & Search Order Approval & Placement Integrated e-Procurement Management Applications { Deliver & Invoice Multi-Supplier Catalog Search Approval Workflow Engine Order Management Complete Integrated Solutions Partial Functional Solutions Complete Procurement Lifecycle Shipping & Distribution Pricing & Availability Supplier-side Order Entry Receipt & Invoicing Order Receipt & Schedule Step 2: Construct a Process Audit Understand current procurement process and factors affecting, impeding and interacting with it First phase: Model workflows in current procurement Identify bottlenecks Create shortcuts Second phase: What kind of buying do you want to support? Strategic buying Long-term relationships Transactional buying Paper pushing Spot buying One-time deals Step 2: Construct a Process Audit Second phase: What kind of buying are you trying to automate? Collect data to model current procurement chain Study key areas to ensure processes are consistent with strategic goals, meet customers’ needs and promote efficiency Identify critical success factors and performance indicators Also assess problem areas and areas of vulnerability Determine proper direction for the design phase Step 3: Create a Business Case for e-Procurement Return on assets business case forces you to systematically analyze your business Analysis forces to understand context Without understanding environment cannot fix it Can articulate hidden assumptions Widely used technique in creating business case ROA = (Revenues-Expenses)/Assets Increase revenues, decrease expenses, keep asset base as small as possible Increasing profitability by generating revenue requires substantial investment but through e-procurement requires only a limited addl investment Step 3: Create a Business Case for e-Procurement Decreasing expenses can be accomplished by identifying inefficiencies in the procurement chain Inventory carrying costs Reducing captive capital makes quick profits Cost improvements not just cutbacks; enhancements through better coordination and communication; “premium freight” can be avoided for instance Improving asset utilization can be accomplished by reducing working capital Eliminating warehouses to maximize stock availability and to minimize inventory holdings Eliminating excess inventory to reduce leakage or hidden inventory Step 4: Developing Supplier Integration Matrix Without supplier commitment, e-procurement difficult But with ever-increasing velocity of change, few organizations want to commit to long term relationships Needed: Supplier Integration Matrix (SIM) Helps determine the best type of relationships to have with individual vendors An organization applying only one relationship structure to all vendors shortchanging itself SIM classifies suppliers into Strategic collaborative, long term, ex. MRO suppliers Strategic cooperative, ex. computer suppliers Nonstrategic limited, short term, ex. temp agency services Nonstrategic commodity, short term, ex. office and book suppliers SIM should be reviewed periodically Step 5: Select an e-Procurement App Wade through vendor hype Will it support my procurement process? Does it leverage my other application investments? Will it work seamlessly with other apps? Is it extendable? Step 6: Remember Integration is Everything Doomed to fail strategy Gathering requirements, then disappearing for 6 months, then launching the portal Ideal goal Continuously iterate towards the target – the integration sweet spot Focus on all areas of ORM Iterate development and deployment Do not take exclusive buy-side or sell-side viewpoint Integration with back office systems a significant issue Employees Convenience Ease of Use Consistency Professional Buyers Control Efficiency & Cost Reduction Supplier Management Suppliers Cost Reduction Clean Orders Integration Sweet-spot Step 7: Educate, Educate, Educate How much of a change does your market require on the part of suppliers and buyers? The lesser the better Opposition to e-procurement can cause major problems Schedule slippage, higher costs, poor morale Senior management must listen, communicate, sell and even fire to deal with this problem “Soft” implementation roadblocks most reason why projects don’t succeed Do not underestimate the effort and costs of deployment E-Business Strategies, Inc. www.ebstrategy.com contact@ebstrategy.com 678-339-1236 x201 Fax - 678-339-9793
