Moving to fully paperless, compliant, green processes is easy in concept, but offers many challenges in execution. Once the internal barriers and blocks are removed, there still is the dependency on suppliers to make the entire transaction a reality. While many suppliers may conceptually support such initiatives, they often don’t understand the reality that they will face.
In this insightful session SSAB will explore the journey, initiatives and pitfalls they have faced, and how their supplier management and coordination has become a lynchpin to continued success.

Principles and Pracitces of Accountable Care TransformationHealth Catalyst
Facing the most sweeping payment transformation in history, healthcare systems are balancing two competing mandates: build the competencies needed to succeed under value-based payment models while remaining financially viable in the current fee-for-service landscape. Across the next decade, changing payment models will drive a fundamental transformation in care delivery, emphasizing dramatically lower costs and improvements in quality. While this final destination is clear, today’s health care leaders face high stakes and a great deal of uncertainty as they architect the path for their organizations' survival and success not only under value-based payment, but—critically—during the transition period.
Join Marie Dunn, Director of Analytics, as she outlines the key near-term priorities for health care organizations transitioning to value-based payment models, with a particular focus on the importance of leveraging data to drive effective decision making. She will also use Health Catalyst solutions to demonstrate these principles.
Marie will cover:
State of the transition from fee-for-service to value-based payment models
Near-term priorities for organizations looking to build the competencies to successfully manage at-risk contracts, including:
At-risk contract management: monitor performance against contractual requirements and leverage data to drive payer negotiations.
Network management: reduce leakage and improve referral patterns and network composition.
Care management: focus care team efforts by leveraging data to identify the patients in greatest need of support.
Performance monitoring: identify opportunities to improve performance on quality measures, like the ACO quality measures.
Strategies for balancing near-term priorities with long-term efforts to drive care transformation across the delivery system

Lack of IT tools
– Different operational purchasing
systems at our main three
productions sites
– No support for the strategic

SSAB
EMEA
SSAB
Americas
SSAB
APAC
No common purchasing system
(3 not linked different ERPs)
No e-Sourcing tool
Current spend reporting tool only possible at very
high Supplier (no visibility at line item nor supplier
Supplier reporting)
No Contract management system at SSAB Americas
prior Ariba (sporadic vendor contract & price

No supplier information & qualification management

Very time consuming exercise to aggregate spend

33. Supplier Enablement -Then and Now
Then
– Manual work for SSAB to approve and register supplier
– With correct information this took about 10-15 min
– Many new suppliers each week, little or no control over
preferred supplier list
Now
– Supplier self-registration
– Supplier invitation to transact with SSAB on Ariba Network
– Several weeks or more in calender time
33
34. Philosophy for new Purchasing process
(applies to all activities of all modules)
Prepare
– Purchasing organisation
– Supplier enablement team
Right from the start
– 3-way matching
– Catalogues with pre-decided content to
Supplier participation
34
35. New way of working has many advantages for SSAB
Control of suppliers
– More active in our choice of suppliers
– Approval process of suppliers in place
– Structured information on aspects such as CSR, quality and
environmental issues
Support and tool for strategic sourcing
– Realize cost potential
– Common structure, transparency and knowledge
management
Reduced administration
– Green flow –e-transactions
– Less time answering questions regarding payment, trace
invoices etc
Contract Compliance
– Catalogue content
– Easy to use tool for requesters
35
36. Advantages for suppliers
Find new and maintain existing customers on Ariba
Network
Shorten sailcycles and increase customer
satisfaction
– Faster handling of orders and order quality
Increased sails
– Visibility of content trough catalogues
Advantages of E-invoice
Lower cost with E-invoices
Get paid on time and less invoice errors
– Increase cash flow
Invoice status updated on Ariba Network
36
37. Supplier enablement process was insufficient
– Suppliers had not understood
– SSAB had not understood
– Ariba had not understood
We had to restart with many of the suppliers that we thought were
“ready to transact”
– Find the correct people to talk to
• Not only the KAM
– Support on technical issues
– Integration projects
We had to restart with Buyers and internal stakeholders
– Catalogue content
– Change Management
37
P2I Go Live in october 2013 –How did it go?
38. Challenges internally
Way of working
– Great change for ALL involved (SSAB and suppliers)
Method of enabling suppliers and creating catalogues
– Constant learning process, evaluation and development
Organisation and governance
– Roles, decisions, escalation and coordination need to be
improved within SSAB
Functionality in Ariba P2I
– Technical issues with for example punch-out catalogues
38
39. Response from suppliers
Different challenges depending on size and
branch of supplier
– Large suppliers –integration
– Middle sized suppliers
– Small suppliers
– Very small suppliers – positive if “IT-mature”
Wish to receive POs by e-mail, can easily
change own process with moderate effort
39
This is where we have
most challenges
40. Challenges for Suppliers
Double work
– Due to requirement of two invoice
(suppliers ERP and on Ariba Network)
Integration process requires resources and
time
Outsourcing of invoicing in Nordic countries is
wide spread and increasing
Competence at supplier
Catalogue content unclear–common issue for
SSAB and supplier
40
41. Our lessons learned implementing P2I
Do not underestimate implementaion
internally
– Change management on way of working
for Buyers and requesters needed again
and again
AND
Do not underestimate the role of suppliers
Do not focus on the system, changes in way
of working and on all parts of the
purchasing process has a greater impact
41
42. Advice to get supplier onboarded
Start with fewer suppliers
– Choose suppliers thourogly
Decide criterias (strategy) for wich suppliers to start with
– IT-matureness
– Already Ariba users
– ”Way of purchasing”
Start enablement as early as possible
– Written letter is not enough!
– Physical meeting; explain and listen to suppliers
– A close cooperation with fewer suppliers from the start
• Get all the way
• Good examples and refernces
Clear strategy towards suppliers
42
43. Which Suppliers to Enable?
43
Ease of enablement
HARDER EASIER
BenefitsReceivedLOWHIGH
Lowest Priority
Low volume, low importance suppliers
• Enable gradually over time
• Use image conversion
• Leave on paper (easily entered into AN
by buyer)
Medium Priority
High Volume or Strategic Suppliers with
low technical capability
• High Volume – support cXML or EDI
enablement
• Moderate Volume or non-PO - Use file
upload (.csv)
• Low Volume – Use PO Flip
Medium Priority
Low volume or low importance suppliers
who are already on the Ariba Network
• Second Wave enablement, bring into
network rapidly as resources permit, using
preferred creation method
High Priority
High Volume or Strategic Suppliers who
are already on the Ariba Network
• First Wave enablement, bring on as soon
as possible using their preferred creation
method
44. Success factors
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
– Strong management mandate needed
– New ways of working effect everyone within
Purchasing
• Get Purchasing organisation involved
New system drives changes in way of working
– Keep a holistic view of purchasing process
– Operational purchasing is the outcome of
strategic work!
44
45. The way ahead
Continue implementation and increase
scope
Common maintanence system on all three
production sites in Sweden
– Expansion of Integration
Continue learning and develop way of
working
45
46. The way ahead with suppliers
-a lynchpin to master
SSAB are close to mastering Supplier registration and enablement
through
Developed supplier enablement process
and
Enhance communication (both internal and external) on the long term
benefits
– E-commerce and green flow
– Compliance
– More active choice of suppliers
– Suppliers records and SRM (+ CSR process)
Patience in overcoming short term obstacles
– Understanding, Technique, Willingness, Resources, Matureness
46
47. Reflecting on the future of cloud solutions
what do you think?
When and how will organisations like SSAB be more ready?
When and how will Suppliers be more ready?
