THE PURCHASE PROCESS

Abstract

The purpose of this report has been to se what a current purchase process looks like in a major company and how this process can be improved. By being part of a project in a big medical company I show that the whole organization have to change in order for this process to be more effectiv. Buying and selling goods is something that the whole organization is involved in, in some way or another and this means that the process have to be accessible for everybody in an easy and user friendly way. I also show how IT can be used to make the process more efficient and accessible. In order to analyze the current situation and find a better solution I have used the VAC method. I also show how the workflow thoughts are implemented and used in a successful way.
