Challenges

The starting point.

The company faced inefficient procurement processes and a low on-time payment rate, resulting in penalties and interest charges. The operation processed approximately 4,000 documents per month, with 30 users across different locations submitting payment documentation, creating additional complexity and inefficiencies.

Actions Taken

From strategy to action.

  • Redesigned the Req-to-Pay process and clarified roles, responsibilities and approval lines.
  • Defined internal service levels to improve process efficiency and accountability.
  • Optimised the Req-to-Pay process and developed a simulation model to determine the required FTE capacity for the Payments Factory.
