Being data driven and automating is what ALL companies talk about. Anders have a lot of experiences to share! He also have a couple of topics where he hope to learn from Your experiences.

Continuous stakeholder management in a data driven procurement organization

At FLSmidth a Procurement Center of Excellence (CoE) is standardising processes and gathering and sharing direct and indirect procurement related data with the organization across 60 countries. The aim to provide better decision making facts as well as driving efficiency and quality. Through recent years a number of robots (RPA) have reduced 35% of manual order related tasks. Chatbots and other technology is helping the organisation get individual data based on current needs. Here you will learn how they have shaped their data driven CoE team and ways of working, what they are using RPA to do and how they are measuring success. You will also discuss how you can continue to develop supply chain transparency and quality also after you have the data.
Learn about how the CoE is set up, what data is used to create KPIs and measure procurement and supply chain and how RPA and chatbots are used

  • How do you collaborate with category teams to increase focus on long term strategies rather than short term operations?
  • In what ways are you increasing time spent on value engineering in a project focused organization?
  • Benchmark – what do you do when you meet resistance to change, is it possible to become too data driven and automated?
