| dc.description.abstract | Companies suffer from systematic challenges caused by the evolution of markets, technologies, and the significant increase in available data. Purchasing and Supply Management (PSM), also known as procurement, is one of the components of Supply Chain Management affected by these and other challenges. Strategic sourcing is increasingly recognized as a critical building element for changing an organization’s operations to world-class PSM. Adopting strategic sourcing with a spend analysis approach will help the company’s procurement department optimize tasks, identify insights and save company resources. This document aims to provide a detailed description of the project performed at Company X. The lack of strategic sourcing in the purchasing process of Company X represents thousands of time-consuming contracts issued yearly, mainly based on individual contract decisions to choose the suppliers. This project was intended to create a general spend analysis solution using a selfservice Business Intelligence (BI) platform, leading to more productive purchasing processes and a greater capacity for analysis to support decision-making, timely, effective, and efficient. Using the Design Science Research methodology, a literature review about PSM, strategic sourcing, spend analysis, and BI was done to achieve the goals. A case study of Company X was conducted to analyze the premises and apply the solution, but the solution may be generalized to other organizations using the presented conceptual model. The final delivery was a dashboard that combined relevant measures and metrics to generate insights, improving decision-making and information sharing related to spend analysis and strategic sourcing. While research on business intelligence, spend analysis, and strategic sourcing exists, they are seldom published together, and this project also improves the academic correlation between them. | pt_PT |
