Unlocking Productivity: Navigating the Procurement Ecosystem
In a global procurement organization, managing an array of policies, processes, tools, templates, and learning materials can be daunting. But what if you had One source—a centralized hub for all procurement process-related information? Imagine process flows, job aids, training materials, and supporting data accessible from a single trusted location. That’s precisely what Electrolux aims to achieve.
Why It Matters:
• Streamlined Processes: Understanding your processes is the foundation for automation and digitalization. It’s how you identify harmonization opportunities and ensure resource productivity.
• Less Cognitive Load: Emerging technologies like AI can connect the dots, reducing the cognitive load for your team members.
• Becoming the Employer of Choice: Clarity in processes makes work less ambiguous, making your organization an attractive place to work.
Our Vision:
Electrolux will consolidate all procurement-related contracting, sourcing, supplier quality, risk management, sustainability, and more materials into a SharePoint repository. All in the goal of creating an agile ecosystem that provides clarity with built in governance.
Let’s Discuss:
1. Relevance: How crucial is it to have all process and related information in one place?
2. Challenges & Opportunities: Seemingly endless task of mapping, collecting, maintaining, and enhancing global, category-specific, regional, and local information.
3. Staying Agile: Share your experiences with managing governance tasks and other process management learnings.
