Currently, indirect spend is recognized as a major area for potential improvement, with up to 70/90% (by number) of purchase orders, shipment expenses, and invoices processed attributed to materials and services that are not used in the finished product”
Indirect Procurement deals with the acquisition of all those goods and services not directly involved in the core business of the organization. This is the reason why the contribution that indirect goods and services are able to offer to the company is very often misunderstood or underestimated.

Indirect Procurement - Mr. Ashwani Singh (Watson Pharma)ELSCC
Indirect procurement is the sourcing of all goods and services for a business that enable its activity. It is a slow, technology intensive process requiring change management across the organization boundaries.
Most sourcing organizations focus on direct procurement, potentially overlooking indirect procurement and missing key opportunities to reduce spend. As indirect purchases increasingly become a larger percentage of overall spend, for many organizations, indirect procurement can be a diamond in the rough. This article makes the arguement that the value of indirect procurement should not be overlooked.
Value Chain Analysis is a strategy used to analyze the company's internal activities. In other words, by looking at internal activities, the analysis reveals where a company's competitive advantage or deficiencies are.

Bench marking - process interventions - Organizational Change and Developme...manumelwin
Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's business processes and performance matrics to industry bests or best practices from other companies.
Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost. In the process of best practice benchmarking, management identifies the best firms in their industry, or in another industry where similar processes exist, and compares the results and processes of those studied (the "targets") to one's own results and processes.

ERP, or enterprise resource planning, is a modular software system designed to integrate the main functional areas of an organization's business processes into a unified system.
An ERP system includes core software components, often called modules, that focus on essential business areas, such as finance and accounting, HR, production and materials management, customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management. Organizations choose which core modules to use based on which are most important to their particular business.

The Organizational Decision-Making Levels slides simply follow the chapter. They are included because they provide foundational knowledge for slides that follow.
Most businesses have three levels of management, with one or more layers of managers in each level.
The executive management includes top tier management focused on long-term strategic business decisions such as how to compete, price versus quality, and what countries to do business in.
Middle or tactical management is focused on running the organization to meet the strategic goals, and typically has a management timeframe of 3 to 12 months. Typical decisions might include where additional stores in existing markets should be opened.
Operational employees and management perform the day-to-day work of the organization, making decisions on a day-by-day basis.
A shift manager at a Wal-Mart would be Operational Management, while a Store manager at a Wal-Mart would be at the lowest level of Middle or Tactical Management.

7. Value Chain Primary Activities. Inbound Logistics. Here goods are received from a company's suppliers. They are stored until they are needed on the production/assembly line. Goods are moved around the organisation. Operations. This is where goods are manufactured or assembled. Individual operations could include room service in an hotel, packing of books/videos/games by an online retailer, or the final tune for a new car's engine. Outbound Logistics. The goods are now finished, and they need to be sent along the supply chain to wholesalers, retailers or the final consumer. Marketing and Sales. In true customer orientated fashion, at this stage the organisation prepares the offering to meet the needs of targeted customers. This area focuses strongly upon marketing communications and the promotions mix. Service. This includes all areas of service such as installation, after-sales service, complaints handling, training and so on.
8. Support Activities. Procurement. This function is responsible for all purchasing of goods, services and materials. The aim is to secure the lowest possible price for purchases of the highest possible quality. They will be responsible for outsourcing (components or operations that would normally be done in-house are done by other organisations), and ePurchasing (using IT and web-based technologies to achieve procurement aims). Technology Development. Technology is an important source of competitive advantage. Companies need to innovate to reduce costs and to protect and sustain competitive advantage. This could include production technology, Internet marketing activities, lean manufacturing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and many other technological developments. Human Resource Management (HRM). Employees are an expensive and vital resource. An organisation would manage recruitment and s election, training and development, and rewards and remuneration. The mission and objectives of the organisation would be driving force behind the HRM strategy. Firm Infrastructure. This activity includes and is driven by corporate or strategic planning. It includes the Management Information System (MIS), and other mechanisms for planning and control such as the accounting department.
