Master Data Mastery – Strategies to improve procurement performanceVerdantis Inc.
We live in a world that is increasingly data-driven. Data has become a major driver of business strategy and a major driver of performance results. Despite this trend, the average procurement department struggles with enterprise-level systems that make access to high-quality data difficult and an ability to frame and analyze it in a timely manner nearly impossible.
Mastering your procurement data has never been more important. Join Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer at Ardent Partners and the Publisher of CPO Rising as he discusses the master data management strategies and approaches that leading procurement organizations are using to improve their performance.
On attending this knowledge and experience sharing webinar, participants will learn:
• Why master data management is critical for the procurement departments and how the needs are different in a harmonized ERP applications environment
• How to develop and execute a company-specific master data management strategy
• How best-in-class companies approach master data management by taking advantage of existing resources and in-house expertise
• How supply-centric master data management can lead to significant hard dollar savings
• How real-time data quality helps in ensuring ongoing data integrity, and drives cost, people and process efficiency
This document provides instructions for creating a material master record in an ERP system. It describes the key fields to specify such as the material code, type, unit of measure, sales and plant organizations, taxes, pricing and valuation. Fields for batch management, minimum order quantities, transportation and loading groups are also covered. The steps shown create the basic master data record and define additional organizational levels and attributes for the new material.

The document discusses vendor management systems. It defines a vendor as a third party that provides goods or services to a company. Vendor management is the process of controlling costs, ensuring quality, and mitigating risks through all stages of the business relationship with vendors. Effective vendor management includes creating clear processes, building relationships between organizations and vendors, and establishing service quality and governance practices. The document also outlines best practices for vendor selection, monitoring, and rating vendors based on parameters like pricing, quality, delivery, and service.
The document discusses supplier evaluation and selection. It provides an overview of the supplier evaluation and selection process, key criteria for evaluating suppliers, and developing surveys to aid in selection. Critical issues in supplier selection are also addressed. The presentation covers developing a multi-step process for evaluating suppliers on criteria like quality, cost, management capabilities, financial stability, and long-term relationship potential to select suppliers that minimize risk and maximize value.
The document discusses the need for a centralized Vendor Management (VM) function at NJM to better manage its large number of vendors and contracts. It proposes creating a Vendor Management Office (VMO) to develop standardized processes and templates for vendor selection, contract management, performance monitoring, and relationship management. The VMO would establish a master vendor list, classify vendors, and help integrate VM processes into existing work models.
The document discusses supplier risk assessment and provides a framework for assessing and managing risk from suppliers. It defines supplier risk, outlines risk considerations and criteria, discusses developing supplier access profiles and a risk classification model. It then describes the supplier risk assessment process, which includes assessing suppliers' data lifecycles, policies and procedures. The framework also includes regular supplier review processes to ensure ongoing risk management. The goal is to take a methodical approach to examining supplier risk and mitigating issues through a consistent, baseline process.
The document discusses various aspects of vendor management including governance, performance evaluation, monitoring, and strategic partnership. It provides details on developing vendor profiles, assessing risks, establishing governance disciplines, evaluating quality and performance, linking key performance indicators to business benefits, monitoring through scorecards and metrics, and fostering strategic partnerships through mutual goals and trust.
