Agility in procurement

What does it mean to be agile? How can procurement leaders build their organization in an agile manner, and respond to the changes in the world in a similar way. There is a lot of papers dealing with the topic of agility. In this speaking topic, I give hints to procurement leaders and procurement professional on how to thrive in a constantly changing environment.

KPI's or no KPI's?

What is the best way to measure a procurement organisation? Hard savings tend to be the trend in many companies still today, but the role of procurement is changing, and we need to embrace the importance of procurement nowadays more than ever. Procurement brings value overall to companies, and often, when investing / buying services or products, companies will increase their spend, so how do you measure procurement efficiency?

ENERGY-BASED MAGNETO-MECHANICAL MODEL FOR ELECTRICAL STEEL SHEETS
TKK Dissertations 234
August 31, 2010
Within this dissertation an energy-based model for magneto-mechanical coupling in electrical steels has been developed, studied and implemented in finite element software. The method introduces a novel way of explicitly solving magnetic and mechanical fields. Starting from the knowledge of the dependence of magnetostriction on stress and magnetic field, and of the dependence of the magnetic field on the stress, a Helmholtz free energy is presented. The material constitutive equations
are explicitly written. The parameters of the model are identified experimentally from a modified Epstein frame. This setup allows stressing a pack of electrical steel sheets and measuring the magnetostriction and B-H curves under pre-stresses. The resulting strains are acquired with a piezo-electric force transducer. The measurements are compared with data obtained from a vertical yoke system at no pre-stress with strain gauges and discussed. The method is then applied to study magneto-mechanical coupling in radial-flux rotating electrical machines. A test device is studied; it consists of a stack of round electrical steel sheets assembled with windings wound to obtain a magnetic flux density as in real electrical machines. This one enables the coupled method to be verified when there is no air gap. The
last device is a sample machine wound in the same way as an asynchronous machine used for studying losses. Its advantage is that there is no outer frame that would prevent the placement of accelerometers for measuring the acceleration of the iron yoke when excited. The validity of the model for real electrical machines is verified by the good agreement between those measurements show good agreement with the computed results. The method appeared to be suitable and robust for the computation of displacements in rotating electrical machines. The tangential and radial displacements on the teeth of stators are obtained from the method. The influences of magnetic forces on the structures are studied and quantified.

Procurement New Year’s Resolutions: Shining in 2022
Payments Journal
December 31, 2022
If it’s been said once, it’s been said a thousand times: the COVID-19 pandemic has sent shock waves through almost every avenue of the business world. Yet for some industries and professions it’s been a boon versus a burden. Specifically, the disruptions have put a giant spotlight on the procurement department due to scarcity of raw materials, supplier delays, etc. So, the time is ripe for procurement to really shine.

How To Create Procurement Visibility From Day 1?
Basware
September 29, 2022
A P2P implementation that begins with AP as the foundation, will support long-term ROI, lower the total cost of ownership, and drive CPOs and CFOs towards real savings. This solid foundation enables both procurement and AP functions to work towards the same goal of growth and sound business practices.

Procurement Post Pandemic – What Have We Learned?
Basware
August 04, 2021
In a recent event, Basware’s Magic of Transparency, we held a session called, “Using Transparency to Illuminate Your Operations”, where we discussed how expanding your P2P solution to include procurement will give your company visibility and control of the full procure-to-pay process. In this blog, you’ll learn more about the importance and benefits of supplier management and how using supplier data can prepare your organisation for the unexpected.

ChatGpt and the procurement function: how to get the most out of it

Date : May 31, 2023

The rise of ChatGpt and similar tools is changing the way we work.
Procurement and supply chain functions can tremendously benefit from such tools, if they would be integrated to their S2P solutions. For example, one of the main painpoint is to find the right supplier at the right time for the right product or service. ChatGpt has such an extensive knowledge that it could provide insightful data to procurement professionals in terms of supplier selection, diversity, sustainability and risk.
