Here’s an excerpt from “Procurement Analytics: How to Plan (and Optimize) Your Process”:
“The key thing to remember is that analytics is really a business capability – not just about technology. It’s about supporting the process called 'analyze' (i.e., the ‘A’ in the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) continuous improvement methodology) that needs to be embedded into every strategic procurement discipline.”
