  5. Evolution Through Collaboration Collaboration is a process defined by the mutual learning between two or more people who are working together toward a common goal.

  6. What We Heard from the Task Force

  7. Guideposts for Action What we heard from Administrative Council • Do what is best for the Institute – focus on the greater good • Need for norms and an established set of criteria for evaluating recommendations • Avoid cost shifting • Weigh impact on MIT mission

  8. Ideas Into Action Transforming the experience for the 21st Century • How we are responding to recommendations: • Integrate services to create seamless experiences • Make our services more responsive to community needs • Provide options to eliminate unnecessary work • Implement processes that are more modern and simpler • Evolve procurement to strategic sourcing • Advance Digital MIT

  9. Gillian Emmons, Controller and Director of Accounting Services Simplifying Our Processes:Accounts Payable

  10. Accounts Payable Today

  11. Taking Work Out of the System EDI – Online Catalogue • 33% of current volume • Online ordering, online payment, presumed receipt • No paper, requires minimal effort of DLCs and VPF Goods Receipt • 4% of current volume • Use regular purchase order • Minimal paper flow, reduced effort for DLCs and VPF • Best for areas with central receiving • Used in Facilities; recently started in Plasma Science & Fusion Center

  12. Areas Ripe for Modernization Requests for Payment (RFP) • 16% of current volume • Manual, paper-based • Requires significant effort of DLCs and VPF Other Purchase Orders • 47% of current volume • Low presumed receipt level -- $500 • All other invoice approval -- manual, paper based • All Blanket PO invoices need extra handling • Requires significant effort of DLCs and VPF

  13. Opportunities for Change • Online RFP via SAP – Available Summer 2010 • Increase presumed receipt level • Based on FY08 volume, changing from $500 to $1,000 would have reduced processing time and effort for 8,000 invoices. • Increase use of MIT Procurement Card • Increase purchasing options through EDI • Implement e-invoicing through bank

  14. How would you feel about us raising the presumed receipt level? With what level would you be comfortable? $1,000, $2,000, $3,000? We want to hear your thoughts • Consider purchases that you make for which you could use the MIT Procurement Card but do not. Why not? • Would Goods Receipt be an option for your area?
