Procurement system for Google

As is


To be

ICT:
With the help of ICT features, a database of 4 different employee class categories (new, moving, current, leaving) is maintained in the company’s system to help sorting out the stationery items by type and employee status. Using the database provided, the status of the employee is inspected and according to whether or not the employee is leaving, the item is taken back from him/her to the storage, or the appropriate stationary gets marked to be provided to them.

Core ICT integration is the company’s website and intranet through which the employees’ registration and information are maintained and observed for categorization into the classes mentioned above. One improvement idea that can be implemented with ICT for providing possible feedback and helping the staff express their preferences, is to have an optional online survey for employees to do: by completing this form, they can comment and express their opinions about the stationery already provided to them, and maybe have a list of future new types/models of the items that are to be given in the place of the current ones.

This redesign of work is not as simple as it appears. It became focused Areas People behavior, their attitude to their work, how well motivated they were; in short how companies got the best out of their most important resource. The way work was done for best effect; the sequence of steps, what was needed as input at each step, what was produced, and how these processes were measured. The way work was organized for best effect; essentially, the organization itself which processes should be performed by which groups of people, how they were managed and how the elements of the structure should interact to be most effective. The ability to identify and track variance in quality of products is fundamental to quality improvement. Linking knowledge with stuff of Google information. The business can prove to the company that it controls its own processes well enough with modern ICT to ensure the safety and security of its supply chain.

  1. There are some good insights here that you could expand on.

    The idea of having a database is interesting and insightful.

    You could explain bit more how the new process works, before moving on to describing how ICT is to help.

    I also like the importance you give to feedback.

    You can also think of how this new process and solution is to help Google's mission and vision.

    Many thanks and regards,

  2. Hi guys,

    Your work is well presented, with the “As Is” and “To Be” process flows. I like the idea of getting the staff involved in order to seek improvements and your suggestion for using the employee status to categorise could work well as it would allow the system to provide access to the individuals accordingly.

    Have a good weekend!
