Manage Procurement or Purchasing and Demand Robotically with RoboBuyer. This is using Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and RPA to manage end to end process robotically
Designing the source to-pay process of the futureGareth Stone
The shift towards innovation and value creation for procurement functions requires procurement leaders to reimagine how work gets done across the source-to-pay value stream. In a post-COVID-19 world, procurement leaders will need to transform the procurement function and source-to-pay processes to become strategic enablers who improve competitive advantage.
Emerging technologies such as RPA and AI mean that over 50% of the source-to-pay process could be automated. Combined with other improvement levers such as process simplification, standardisation and outsourcing, a significant amount of time can be saved to free buyers to work on strategic category management, managing supplier relationships and managing spend.

Capgemini Consulting RPA: the next revolution of Corporate FunctionsUiPath
More than ever, Technology reached a tipping point in
the optimization of Corporate Functions.
Similar to robotization of production lines in the 90’s, Corporate
Functions are initiating today their robotic transformation/
revolution.
We believe Robotic Process Automation or RPA is the lever
that will take these Corporate Functions to the next level by:
• Improving employee and customer satisfaction
• Accelerating productivity gains
• Enhancing compliance
To reach these benefits, RPA must be implemented on key
Corporate Functions that include repetitive, standardized
and transactional processes and activities such as Finance,
Compliance, Treasury and Marketing.
Within these Corporate Functions, not all processes and
activities are eligible to RPA though, hence the need to select
them carefully in order to reap the maximum benefit from
RPA implementation.
An additional RPA key success factor consists of paying a
particular attention to design an appropriate implementation
journey sticking to company specifics.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Reduce "Process Waste" in Manufacturing Process
1. REDUCING “PROCESS WASTE”
IN MANUFACTURING
Manufacturers are always seeking to cut waste in production. Now, with
intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA), they can eliminate waste
from business processes as well. Here’s how intelligent automation works
for manufacturing supply-chain activities.
2. 2
THE QUEST FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY
Manufacturing companies have always invested heavily in industrial engineering to achieve production process
improvements and minimize waste. More recently, to be “greener” and operate more sustainably, they started
squeezing inefficiencies out of material and byproducts waste at record levels.
Today, with Robotic Process Automation (RPA), manufacturers can apply the same principles and squeeze inefficiencies
and waste from business processes—from finance to supply chain to customer service operations.
What is RPA?
RPA is the automation of business processes using software robots, or “bots,” that mimic human behavior to
completed repetitive tasks, eliminating errors and freeing up employees for more valuable and creative tasks that
make use of their human abilities.
RPAalso addresses the problem of human errors in the manufacturing process. In a study done by Vanson Bourne in 2017,II
it was found that 23 percent of all unplanned downtime in manufacturing was the result of human error, compared
with rates as low as nine percent in other industries.

Most manufacturing firms are intent on minimizing material waste according to NAM.I

3. THE START OF THE RPA JOURNEYS
Manufacturers’ investments in RPA have already started, according to a study by MAPI and Automation Anywhere.III
Although only a third of manufacturers surveyed have implemented RPA to date, 75% of pilot tests have met
or exceeded expectations, with most manufacturing firms (83%) reporting they achieved ROI in 12 months or less.
Length of Time to See ROI from RPA Pilot
Initial manufacturing forays into RPA have been in finance operations—automating processes such as accounts
payables, accounts receivables, and other routine finance workflows. Yet, the manufacturing supply chain processes
present higher ROI possibilities for intelligent automation.
In this eBook, we’ll explore how intelligent RPA can be used to transform manufacturing supply chain processes.

RIPE FOR AUTOMATION
Today’s manufacturers face a growing list of supply chain business challenges.
• Demand variability: It’s increasingly difficult to predict demand and plan for downstream inbound and outbound
supply chain activities.
• Inventory proliferation: Although just-in-time (JIT) inventory replenishment is now standard, the fact that products
are now stored in distributed warehouses closer to the customer creates challenges.
• Increasing risks of disruption: Extreme weather and other effects of climate change impact supply-chain operations.
• Intense global competition: It’s a truism, but every market is now a global market, competing for the same suppliers
and customers.
• Increasing customer expectations: Today’s customers have many choices, and not meeting their expectations could
mean a loss of business.
• Talent shortage: It’s difficult to find and retain supply chain experts.
These business challenges can be intensified by technology. Running high-volume supply chain workflows requires
information to flow across multiple functions. Legacy systems and bolt-on applications across plants and geographies
and inconsistencies in master data complicate this further.
Keep in mind that across the supply chain, a breakdown in one process will have a cascading effect on the entire value
chain. For instance, a disruption on the supply side threatens a product launch and, ultimately, market share. At the
same time, it risks idling plants and impacts the cost of operations, cash flow, and profitability—not to mention puts an
unprecedented workload on your contact center operations.
RPA can help, especially with supply chain planning, procurement, and operations.
4
5. SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING MADE EASY
RPA helps automate the supply chain planning process by replacing manual tasks with automated workflows. These
mimic human actions, but perform at a speed, scale, and accuracy that cannot be matched by humans.
Automation is particularly useful in supply chain planning because the workflow involves referencing multiple business
applications and consolidating high volumes of data.
Consider a change management process in demand planning. You can automate as much as 80% of the process.
Supply Chain Management—Demand Planning | Change Management
Digital Workers provide the necessary scale and bandwidth to handle massive workload around changes due to market disruption.
As market demand changes, manufacturers need to look at production scheduling, inventory replenishment, and material
requirement plans (MRPs) and adjust accordingly.
Digital Workers (automation bots) can import the data from the sales/order forecast system, make the comparison, execute
a decision workflow, make necessary changes in supply plans, and update suppliers. This can be designed as an “attended”
automation, meaning that the bots alert human workers to make decisions at important points in the process.
One of the key benefits of RPA is that it can work across many data sources, allowing you to streamline data extraction,
formatting, and standardization. RPA also reduces risk since it works with existing systems—there is no need to “rip and
replace” systems or infrastructure to deploy RPA.

STREAMLINE SUPPLY CHAIN PROCUREMENT
When the supply chain planning process is completed, it delivers a category sourcing plan for all bill of materials (BOM).
The procurement process then selects supplier(s) for all BOM items across all categories. By nature, procurement is
a collaborative, meticulous, and effort-intensive process that requires manufacturers to create and process multiple
documents.
RPA can significantly reduce these efforts and accelerate supplier selection and onboarding. Bots can create sourcing
packages for potential suppliers as well as receive and analyze suppliers’ responses. Bots can then create an evaluation
sheet for each supplier to help procurement professionals choose which suppliers are most appropriate, as well as
negotiate terms. Once suppliers are selected, bots can help identify non-favorable terms for negotiations and perform
supplier information validation during contract management and onboarding. Bots can also process purchase orders (POs).
Providing much higher accuracy than manual solutions, RPA allows procurement professionals to focus on strategic
procurement initiatives such as drafting strategic sourcing criteria and negotiating with vendors. This can save as much
as 90% of the time.

SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS TRANSFORMED
One of the most complex and high-risk processes in managing the supply chain is operations. If the plant is forced to
idle because of lack of material inventory, or if manufacturing runs fail for quality issues, the manufacturers’ bottom
lines can take a hit.
Aspects of supply chain operations that can benefit from RPA:
• Purchase order processing: Intelligent bots can take in POs from any source—fax, email, website, or even old-fashioned
paper forms—and “read” them to extract data. This data is then sent that data to the relevant databases to fulfill the PO.
• Supplier quality management: Digital Workers can monitor returns for quality reasons, track the types of defects per SKU,
and issue reports on specific suppliers. Bots can also automate compliance and SLA reporting based on inbound quality
data.
• Receiving: Bots can take bills of lading and reconcile them with raw goods inventory to ensure all materials have been
received and payment is accurate.
• JIT delivery management: Bots can automate JIT delivery schedule creation and management. They can help eliminate
errors in scheduling and reduce the risk of delivering the wrong inventory to plants.

8. RPA HELPS DRIVE MANUFACTURERS’ COMPETITIVENESS
IN FIERCE GLOBAL MARKETS
Manufacturers compete in increasingly global markets. To do this, they must reduce waste and eliminate
inefficiencies from their supply chain processes. This means cutting costs while improving the ability to do
accurate, JIT inventory replenishment, addressing responsiveness to changing customer and market needs,
and achieving transparency for regulatory and business reasons.
Using RPA to streamline processes and operational performance is the best way to get your products
to consumers faster and at a lower cost. Automation significantly improves critical business KPIs, including
demand capture accuracy, cost of goods sold, and gross contribution margin, without exposing you to undue
risks. The bottom line: RPA makes manufacturers much more competitive.
