Our Mentality You’re at the bottom of 2 hills deciding which to climb. Which do you choose the one on the left or one on the right?
Today’s Agenda Analysis, Visibility, Superior Knowledge
Project Selection • How do you choose what to work on? • How do you know what’s out there? • Do you have the ability to say No?
Project Selection at UCSF/B • Rule #1: Avoid time waster really hard projects and ill scoped projects as best you can. • Rule #2: Your people’s projects are better than your bosses project or even your project. • Rule #3: Work your project to expand the scope to the greatest extent possible (Take advantage of your fixed costs).
Project Selection at UCSF/B • Variable Manufacturers • Variable Distribution Channels • Variable Products • Variable Needs If I don’t have at least 1, I don’t have a bid.
Discovery Do you even spend time in Discovery? How do you identify the scope of the project?
Discovery at UCSF/B • Don’t find experts; become expert • Use your supply base to help you • Find a strategy for the commodity early • Really… Very early! • Good strategy trumps almost EVERYTHING • Use bids to setup the bid you really want to run.
Discovery at UCSF/B • Chemicals • Knew we had to buy solvents at UCSF or Berkeley. • Didn’t exactly know which or how much exactly. • Only understood 25 of the most basic solvents. • Bid those 25 and quickly expand with winning supplier. • In 2-3 years run a much bigger bid. • Kits • 10-15 different kit types, 2 types of technology, uoms! • Miniprep is standard and common • Auction miniprep kits and use winner to grow understanding • In 2-3 years run a much bigger bid.
Implementation • How do you implement? • What length do you go through for adoption?
Implementation at UCSF/B • ePro is everything • Hosted catalog environment for goods • Punchout for configurable goods and services only • Help your people by “shopping for them” • If you really have the best value, then why let anything else compete with it. • Remove unnecessary and low value content • Rig search results to show your “preferred product” • The goal is 100% adoption (unless we have something better to do).
Analytics • What does your analytics capability look like?
Analytics at UCSF/B Stuff Happens on Campus We Measure We Observe We Take Action
How we do it • Hire Smart Analysts • HIV Researcher from a UCSF Lab • BS Level Math Major from UCSD • Auto Insurance regulatory analyst • MS Industrial Engineer • BS Operations Research Analyst • Make it a goal to gain capability • Find 4 opportunities for savings generating initiatives • Empower analysts • You find it, you get credit for the bid, you get the savings!
