Supplier selection is based on historical or personal relationships; suppliers often selected prior to Procurement s involvement in a project. Risk not considered as part of sourcing decisions or supplier management. No supply contingency planning exists. No formal supplier qualification process. Quoting and price refresh process is undefined and performed manually and on an ad hoc basis. Large number of suppliers due to short-term, one-off relationships. Supply market knowledge is ad hoc and incomplete. Sourcing strategies reflect and are aligned with overall business strategy and objectives, including high level risk requirements. Historical spend analyses are regularly and routinely conducted by market and across markets - i.e. by specific commodity, service, location and business. Projects are initiated to limit the total number of suppliers and bundle the spend volume. Procurement is involved in the supplier selection process. Suppliers are often considered on a regional or compartmentalized basis. Supply risk is considered as part of category-specific sourcing efforts and supplier performance management processes. Contingency plan exists in case of supply shortage; alternate suppliers and alternate locations identified. Simple processes in place to register suppliers and inspect supplier qualifications at time of registration or category review. Quoting and price refresh process is defined and audited manually. Organization has identified the need to rationalize the number of suppliers in order to create leverage. Process, tools, and sources established to gather and organize data on most categories. In-house Colocation Commodity management and sourcing strategies define appropriate purchasing and payment processes and tools. Contract terms, lengths, and conditions are defined to drive optimal benefits to the enterprise; in terms of total life-cycle cost, service, and quality. Supplier universe is considered by major commodity or service area rather than in aggregate. Suppliers are considered for bundled and/or extended services that may extend to multiple areas of competency. Supply base risk is explicitly factored into broader business continuity objectives. Supplier risk is considered beyond the specific good or service being sourced. Alternative supply sources are developed in conjunction with current suppliers for key purchases. Established supplier training program on enablement strategies and buyer s technologies. Formal program exists to identify key qualification metrics with stratification based on category criticality and supply alternatives. Quoting and price refresh processes are structured to minimize enterprise financial impact to all parties. Supply base rationalization is complete. Few new suppliers are needed and an added supplier typically results in a removed supplier (equilibrium). Strong relationships developed with current suppliers focusing on JPI in critical or large dollar spend areas. Supply market intelligence / knowledge captured to identify when a supply strategy needs to be re-visited. Customer Responsibility Provider Responsibility SaaS Applications Sourcing strategy is reviewed and updated annually (or more frequently) to reflect direct linkage to the company's strategic growth plans, market changes and product innovations, production plans and business M&A/ventures. Supply universe is global and not limited to traditional commodity suppliers. Procurement works with other risk management staff, ensuring alignment between internal risk/return preferences, business objectives, and both general and specific supply market risks. Back-up suppliers are required for critical or strategic categories and items, including formalized contingency plans to ensure seamless supplier transition and application of penalties and liabilities with supplier(s) at fault. Annual review of at risk suppliers and suppliers of key categories. Quoting and price refresh processes are automated, nearly error-proof,, with appropriate controls in place.. Structured process is in place that benchmarks the marketplace and ensures continual supply base assessment.

33 Recommendations Be patient, yet diligent, to ensure your CI program is effective and embedded in the culture of your GBS Review tools and methodologies to ensure your focus includes appropriate tools for differing situations, Top performers tend to leverage more tools than peer Focus on data quality as a key driver for successful projects; build respect for incorporating quality early and throughout processes; managing defects and ways to improve outshine other improvement areas Align with strategic transformation initiatives where possible to enable greater success Staff for success; where possible have dedicated resources Become the hub for continuous improvement; if not already offering services outside GBS consider doing so may also enhance value of GBS offering Expand training to build understanding and staff engagement Incorporate service design principles as a methodology to gain customer acceptance and clear understanding of their pain points Review control mechanisms to mitigate improvement losses both top performers and Peer acknowledged caution in this space Promote improvements by acknowledging success and branding for CI effort Expand GBS services offered 33

43 Six Sigma (reduces variation and defects) Definition Six Sigma is a methodology that uses statistical analysis to measure and improve a company s performance. Customer requirements, design quality, metrics and measures, employee involvement and continuous improvement are the main elements of Six Sigma practice. Advantages/ Benefits Lean: 1. Reduce process variation 2. Continuous quality improvement techniques 3. Customer satisfaction (Voice of the Customer) Note: Hackett research & Issues And Insights/Articles publications/documents/lean-six-sigma.pdf 43

45 Lean (reduces waste and focuses on value) Definition Lean can be considered as the optimal approach of generating products and services with perfect quality and no waste. These principles were once a fundamental shift from traditional operations practice, but have now become mainstream in promoting the synchronization of flow through processes, operations and supply networks. Advantages/ Benefits Lean: 1. Specify Value - as seen by the Customer 2. Identify and Create Value Streams 3. Make the Value flow from raw material to Customer 4. Pull Production not Push 5. Strive for Perfection Note: Hackett research & Issues And Insights/Articles publications/documents/lean-six-sigma.pdf 45

47 Lean Six Sigma Definition Lean Six Sigma is a synergized concept of Lean and Six Sigma that results in the elimination of wastes (classified as Defects, Overproduction, Transportation, Waiting, Inventory, Motion and over Processing) and long-term defect levels below 3.4 defects per million opportunities. It combines Six Sigma Quality with Lean production speed to achieve major cost, inventory, and lead time reductions Six Sigma This methodology is based on process analysis and improvement Advantages/ Benefits Lean Six Sigma: 1. Increased customer and employee satisfaction 2. Reduced costs 3. Retained business 4. Enhanced reputation 5. Increased competitive advantage 6. Improved staff morale Note: Hackett research & Issues And Insights/Articles publications/documents/lean-six-sigma.pdf 47

49 The Deming (PDSA) Cycle The Deming Cycle, also know as the Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) Cycle is a systematic series of steps for gaining valuable learning and knowledge for the continual improvement of a product or process. Also known as the Deming Wheel, or Deming Cycle, the concept and application was first introduced to Dr. Deming by his mentor, Walter Shewhart of the famous Bell Laboratories in New York. The cycle begins with the Plan step. This involves identifying a goal or purpose, formulating a theory, defining success metrics and putting a plan into action. These activities are followed by the Do step, in which the components of the plan are implemented, such as making a product. Next comes the Study step, where outcomes are monitored to test the validity of the plan for signs of progress and success, or problems and areas for improvement. The Act step closes the cycle, integrating the learning generated by the entire process, which can be used to adjust the goal, change methods or even reformulate a theory altogether. These four steps are repeated over and over as part of a never-ending cycle of continual improvement. Source: The Deming Institute 49
