Contacts PR. The Association of Purchasing Directors names the best professionals in the field of corporate procurement in Russia

28.09.2012

Russian oil company TNK-BP announced its intention to improve the contracting system by introducing the world's best practices and new forms of interaction with contractors. In early September, she held a Meeting of Suppliers and Contractors, where the first results of 2012 were summed up in an open dialogue. Olga Malyshkina, Vice President for Supply Chain Management of the Exploration and Production business unit of the company, spoke about the principles that TRK-BP adheres to in the contracting policy, about the achievements and immediate plans of FederalPress.

“Our first fundamental principle is the fundamental prequalification of counterparties,” says Malyshkina. According to her, serious work has been done in this direction over the past year: “First, a unified list of all qualified contractors of the company has been formed, the number of which has reached 4000. This list is posted and quarterly updated on the TNK-BP website, there are also links to two automated systems for prequalification, ProCon and SAP SRM. Second, the prequalification period has been extended from one year to three. Further, TNK-BP has introduced a mandatory requirement to inform the market about the results of both prequalification and tenders, and the losers in the tender - within one day, so that they have the opportunity to contact the conflict commission in case of disagreement with the decision of the contractual commission. Also, TNK-BP introduced a ban on duplicate requests from different divisions of the company for prequalification, that is, if the company submitted documents for prequalification to one TNK-BP subsidiary, the other subsidiary cannot demand them from the counterparty again. "

"Our second principle is the standardization of contracts and contractual relations: the standardization of commercial, technical conditions, prices, responsibility of the parties, risk sharing and so on, says Olga Malyshkina. - Ultimately, these are clear, understandable rules for working under contracts for all parties. Considering that many of our contracts are long-term, this is very important. ”According to the Top Manager, TNK-BP continues to increase the volume of long-term contracts: when the company began to deal with this issue, the Exploration and Production area was covered by the long-term by 27% . Now about half of all existing contracts are long-term. "As for the standardization of contracts, this year they will cover about 65% of the volume of services and by 2013 we will try to standardize contracts for 80% of the volume of services, while concentrating on improving the terms of contracts," notes Olga Viktorovna, - because we understand that in reality the contract can become standard already in live activities, when it is tested at least at one contractual campaign. "

"The third element of TNK-BP's contracting policy is the management of market shares," continues the Vice President for OSS BN Exploration and Production. "We are convinced that this idea is correct." Olga Malyshkina recalled that three years ago TNK-BP analyzed the market and identified four consolidated market situations, of which one is considered the most preferable: seven full-fledged contractors to replace him. " According to her, TNK-BP has managed to correct the situation on the market all this time, and this year was no exception. In addition to this instrument, she said, TNK-BP introduced a new instrument - "price bands". It works as follows: in any sector, a graph of weighted average prices and physical volumes of orders is plotted. The upper and lower boundaries of the price band are marked on the chart as a percentage of the weighted average price. Particular attention is paid to extremes, prices outside the price range, as well as any other deviations. For example, the graph shows that prices at greenfields (new fields) are higher than at brownfields (mature fields). Analyzing these data, TNK-BP sets itself the task of bringing prices at greenfields and brownfields with comparable volumes of orders within the established single price band.

“Our fourth principle,” notes a top manager of TNK-BP, “is a system for managing the efficiency of counterparties.” Firstly, it is a system of motivation for contractors, aimed at timely and high-quality completion by the contractor of work under the contract. "For some sectors, for example, for workover (well workover), there are bonus volumes. We have introduced cash bonuses for the quality of work in seismic, and now we have come close to capital construction. Pokrovskoy gas processing plant ", - says Olga Malyshkina. The second aspect of the same principle, implemented in relation to procurement, is the estimation of the total cost of ownership of the equipment. “That is, when making decisions on the purchase of equipment, not only the minimum price should be taken into account, but also the cost of its operation, maintenance, repair, and overhaul mileage,” explains the vice president. “This year we have approved models for calculating this total cost, and they are mandatory to use ".

“And, finally, our fifth principle is a direct dialogue with the market,” Olga Malyshkina noted. In 2012, in addition to the already traditional Meeting of Suppliers and Contractors, TNK-BP introduced two more new tools - project road-shows and round tables on tenders. “On the eve of a specific tender, we make a presentation about what kind of tender it is, about our conditions, about our expectations,” the Vice President explained. this tender, which will ultimately allow them to make us Best offer". According to the expert, such tools give TNK-BP the opportunity to design the structure of future orders together with counterparties.

At the end of the conversation, Olga Malyshkina touched upon the topic of TNK-BP's contractual campaign for 2013, which has already begun this summer. "Our annual costs for the purchase of material and technical resources are about $ 1.5 billion, services are about $ 6 billion. Both there and there are several large sectors that account for more than 50% of costs. In materials and equipment, these are pipes and submersible equipment, in services - kapstroy, drilling, workover ", - she said. According to her, in the procurement of materials and equipment, the ratio of short-term and long-term contracts will remain the same (45/55%), while the share of long-term contracts for services will grow (now it is about 50%). A new feature of this contractual campaign, Malyshkina noted, will be the introduction of so-called EPC contracts (Engineering Procurement Construction). "They imply the completion of the project by the contractor on a turnkey basis." The contractor has completely different requirements for quality, personnel, technology, and project management... So far, there are eight tenders in which we will work on the EPC model. But we are just starting to test this scheme. Then, I think, it will become our standard for the next 5-10 years, "concluded TNK-BP Vice President.

On June 6, a round table on the topic: “Responsible procurement and supply chains. Benefits and Challenges for Business ”. The discussion was organized by MTS together with AFK Sistema and the Committee on Corporate social responsibility and demographic policy of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP).

Opening the discussion, Managing Director for Corporate Responsibility, Sustainable Development and Social Entrepreneurship of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs' Committee on CSR and Demographic Policy Elena Feoktistova noted that the topic of supply chain responsibility relates to the efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of a business.

Responsibility in the supply chain is an important element of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which today, in practice, is becoming a factor of admission to markets in Europe and other countries of the world. This topic is considered among the key ones not only in the world, but also in Russia. It becomes an important task for companies to formulate policies, mechanisms and procedures for interaction with suppliers and contractors, ensuring that business partners comply with the standards of responsible business practices in the supply chain throughout life cycle products. As a rule, we are talking about a system of certain requirements in the field of industrial and environmental safety, labor protection, business ethics, presented by a responsible company to its counterparties, for whom compliance with these requirements becomes mandatory. The company, in turn, is expected to publicly disclose information about the management of responsibility in the supply chain and mechanisms to ensure proper interaction with counterparties, including the regulation of procurement procedures.

These issues were addressed in the context of managing the risk and opportunity, brand and reputation of companies that are not solely responsible for their own business practice but also the activities of suppliers and contractors. Relevant recommendations are reflected in many international documents, enshrined in regulations many countries. In accordance with the UN Global Compact, a sustainable supply chain implies the management of environmental, social and economic consequences throughout the life cycle of goods and services, responsible interaction with suppliers. Taking these requirements into account becomes necessary condition entry and promotion of products to the global and national markets.

Vice President for Procurement and Administrative Affairs of MTS Valery Shorzhin noted that last year the company approved a new CSR strategy based on the principles approved by the UN. “It is very important for us that the employees of our suppliers work in safe environment... In addition, we take care of environment, we work to reduce the amount of paper and do projects for the transition to electronic document management when working with our suppliers. We have already passed part of the way - most purchases take place in electronic form through our sites. We try to sign contracts using electronic digital signature", - he said.

Olga Malyshkina, Executive Vice President - Head of the Procurement Management Department of Sistema JSFC, shared her experience of creating a conflict commission in the Corporation. controversial issues Suppliers of all companies of the Group can contact.

“If there is a supply chain disruption, the company is exposed to serious financial and reputational risks. As an investment company, we mainly buy consulting services, but if you look more broadly at the entire corporation, then this is a huge amount of funds that we manage, which imposes on us special responsibility on interaction with suppliers, building sustainable supply chains and introducing uniform standards in the companies of the Group. To this end, in 2016 we launched the transformation of the procurement management function on the basis of category management, as well as a program for the development of competencies in the profile divisions of subsidiaries. "

Maria Volodina, member of the Management Board - Commercial Director for Clothing and Footwear, GC Child's world» , presented a successful case for increasing the production of school uniforms, footwear and clothing for newborns in Russia thanks to the company's targeted strategy for building up the assortment retail network the share of high-quality and affordable domestic goods, which amounted to 25% at the end of 2016.

The round table brought together about 100 representatives of the business and expert community. It was attended by representatives of the profile divisions of Sistema JSFC Group: MTS PJSC, Detsky Mir PJSC, Medsi Group of Companies, Segezha Group, Binnopharm JSC, MTS-Bank PJSC, etc. , as well as the largest business partners and suppliers of the MTS Group, incl. Huawei, Samsung Electronics, Major Cargo Service. Representatives of Russian and international companies working in Russia shared their experience of working in the domestic and international markets.

The discussion that took place showed great interest of the participants and showed that Russian companies are actively introducing standards for responsible business conduct into business practice, including issues of managing responsibility in the supply chain, taking into account social and environmental responsibility when choosing suppliers, and confirmed the need to exchange experience to further disseminate best practices in this sphere.

Procurement is the most important part of spending for most organizations. According to a recent study by Bain & Company, it accounts for 43% of all costs on average. If you didn’t spend it, you earned it, so every ruble saved on purchases can be safely attributed to the profit of the organization. In this regard, most of the leading Russian and foreign companies deliberately strive to build an effective, professional, transparent procurement management system.

The purchasing function in the Sistema JSFC group of companies is developing in the same direction. One of the main organizational tasks for 2017 is the creation professional service purchases in all assets controlled by AFK Sistema. The goal is to save money spent by the Corporation on payment for goods, works, services of third-party contractors, while improving the quality and operational efficiency... Is it possible? Yes! The best-organized procurement services in companies such as MTS or BPGC, for example, control up to 98% of the costs of suppliers and contractors, provide services to their internal customers at the highest level and save shareholders' money. Ultimately, this increases not only operating profit but also the market capitalization of these companies. The goal of the rest of the Corporation's assets this year is to bring the share of purchases controlled by purchasing departments to 80%.

Strategic category management - the way to improve procurement efficiency

There will be changes in the procurement processes. The main emphasis in them is the widespread introduction of category management - a method of organizing purchases, in which the most effective approach is determined for each category of goods, works and services, taking into account category analysis and market analysis - a category strategy. Such strategies usually cover not only cost saving issues, but also timeliness and reliability of supplies, quality of services provided, logistics efficiency, turnover and availability of warehouse stocks.

The transition from step-by-step, often overly bureaucratic regulation of the procurement process to strategic category management gives quick results. Leading Russian companies that have implemented category management have received economic effect in the amount of hundreds of millions of rubles within one to two years from the start of the transformation. And the Sistema JSFC group itself has a positive experience of strategic category management, which can and should be replicated to other subsidiary companies.

Procurement Tasks:

saving money;

high level of service;

quality and reliability;

working capital management.

To discuss a new approach to procurement, on January 26-27, 2017, a strategic session on procurement was held, the participants of which got acquainted with the best Russian and foreign practices and developed basic principles aimed at increasing the efficiency of procurement. These principles determine the correct approaches to planning and conducting procurement procedures and allow avoiding common problems and mistakes, such as collusion of counterparties, manipulation of evaluation criteria, reduction in the number of participants in procurement procedures, fictitious tenders, etc.

To implement all these and many other changes, a specially created working group began work on revising and updating normative documents on procurement activities. The main task is to create clear and understandable documents, on the one hand, taking into account all the nuances, on the other, not overloaded with unnecessary details.

Transparency means trust

Such an important topic as ensuring the transparency of procurement procedures and making appropriate decisions will not be ignored. It is common practice to use electronic trading platforms(ETP), the conduct of tenders on which, on the one hand, automates manual labor, on the other hand, solves the problem of creating competition in procurement. According to the results of the bidding, “all moves have been recorded,” which undoubtedly contributes to an increase in the transparency and efficiency of procurement. The Sberbank - AST site was chosen as the main ETP for the Sistema JSFC group of companies.

AFK Sistema seeks to strengthen partnerships with the Group's counterparties to create an open, predictable and transparent business environment. To receive feedback and conducting an open dialogue with the market, a Conflict Commission on Procurement was created, which will consider complaints from current and potential contractors of the Group about the organization of the procurement process in order to make this process more transparent, efficient, and better.

Procurement is a professional business

Of course, the implementation of such tasks is impossible without the participation of people, therefore, great importance will be attached to their support, training and development. Developed program vocational training employees and managers of the procurement function offers various options for training and courses. However, do not forget that the key to any professional success is independent development - reading professional literature, independent online training, searching and studying reviews and market trends. Therefore, all participants in the strategic procurement session received as a gift best books on procurement and supply management, available in Russian.

An important milestone on the way of implementing new approaches was a meeting with general directors of subsidiary companies and managers of investment portfolios, in which President of AFK Sistema Mikhail Shamolin took part. He supported the initiated changes, stressing that the ultimate goal updating the purchasing function is to increase production efficiency and an increase in the profit and capitalization of the enterprises of the AFK Sistema group of companies.

DIRECT SPEECH

Alexey Guryev, Vice President - Head of the Human Resources Department of Sistema JSFC:

“Despite the fact that AFK Sistema is an investment company, not an operating company, which, at first glance, does not imply the creation of a purchasing“ vertical ”as a separate functional complex, in the fall of last year, the management decided to launch a large project to transform functions procurement in the companies of the Group into a full-fledged management of the supply system. The solution is absolutely rational: properly structured management of the supply system can significantly increase operating profit, creating additional business value for shareholders. In addition to direct cost savings on procurement, in the case of a properly built process supported by quality people, it also reduces working capital, and production units receive necessary materials and services of adequate quality faster. The reorganization is really large-scale, it involves not only a significant adjustment of processes, policies and procedures, but also the introduction of new rules for organizational structure of the function, training and selection of highly qualified and honest professionals, the introduction of modern IT solutions. To solve these problems, the Corporation invited one of the best experts in the construction of supply systems in our country - Olga Malyshkina, who previously held the position of Vice President for Supply Chain Management of one of the largest Russian companies... In each company of the Corporation, the procurement function in the end, of course, will look according to the industry and the scale of activity, but the same will be maintained everywhere. basic standards: Category management, unified reporting line, independent back office assessing compliance with policies and procedures. All this, I am sure, will allow not only to streamline procurement activities in terms of reducing the opportunities for abuse, but will really help the Corporation become more profitable, and its shareholders - to count on large dividends and an increase in the share price ”.

The independent rating of procurement directors, organized by the Association for the Promotion of Procurement Practices "Association of Procurement Directors" together with the RAEX rating agency (RAEX-Analytica), has been compiled for the second year in a row. The rating reflects a consolidated assessment of the professional reputation of the leading procurement managers and is based solely on open voting and the expertise of procurement industry professionals.

The rating formation and research were carried out in two stages. During the first stage, an expert group of purchasing directors from leading Russian companies nominated nominees, and the rating agency verified the data received. Then the nominees nominated by the experts evaluated each other. The rating was attended by the heads of purchasing departments of companies whose annual revenue in 2016–2018 exceeded 5 billion rubles.

“The prepared rating reflects the most objective assessment of the activities of not only corporations and participating companies, but also the personal qualities of their top managers responsible for corporate purchases. In Russia, the institute of professional reputation in the procurement industry is now at its very origins, and the rating we have prepared is a very important step towards its further development. It is important that this rating continues to be the only reputational rating of purchasing directors in Russia, which is prepared in accordance with the methodology and standards of leading international ratings of this kind, "- comments the chairman of the board of the Association of purchasing directors Andrey Chernogorov.

“The purchasing directors rating, which RAEX is preparing for the second year in a row, has won the trust of the professional community,” says Dmitry Grishankov, general manager RAEX (RAEKS-Analytica). - We are pleased to note that the leading procurement managers of the largest Russian companies actively and interestedly participated in the preparation of the rating. After all, it depended solely on their trust and conscientiousness whether it would take place or not. We can say that the very process of preparing a rating, when leading procurement managers assess the business reputation of colleagues, unites the professional community. It is also important that there are many new names among the nominees of the rating compared to the results of last year: almost a third of the participants are newcomers. This means that the rating is not “cast in bronze”, but adequately reflects the changes taking place in the procurement industry. "

On October 31, the leaders of the Top-1000 Russian Managers rating were honored at the Helikon-Opera Theater. During the time that this project has existed, the contours of life have changed a lot, so at the evening they talked a lot about robots and took selfies right on the stage - where now without him.

The main task of the rating, which the Association of Managers and the publishing house "Kommersant" have been compiling since 2001, is to identify the best managers in various fields of activity. Once the winners were limited to telephone and personal congratulations from friends and acquaintances, but for 15 years now they have been receiving a minute of fame at a solemn ceremony where the names of the strongest are announced.

The organizers choose bohemian venues for its holding, and this year was no exception. At the event in "Helikon-Opera" we met a lot famous people, for example, businessman David Yakobashvili, chief editor of "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov, chairman of the board of Nordea Bank Mikhail Polyakov, Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova. Among the guests were Philip Ilyin-Adaev, founder of the Banki.ru holding (he entered the list of Top 1000 Russian Managers in the Media Business category for the third time) and Elena Ishcheeva, Finparty project manager.

Before the ceremony, the guests gathered in the cozy atrium of the theater. Most were already well acquainted with each other. “Dima, how are you? From the mine straight to the ball? " - joked the former senior vice president of Uralsib Alexander Vikhrov, referring to the employee of Norilsk Nickel Dmitry Tregubov. This hilarious remark turned out to be not so far from the truth. As Dmitry told FP, although he works in the Moscow office of the company, he has repeatedly observed the process of mining precious and non-ferrous metals.

Public figure Andrei Marudenko noticed that there are many new faces in the hall. “The audience is getting younger, which is great. This means that the change is growing, there is a continuity of generations of managers, ”he clarified in an interview with FP.

The leitmotif of the ceremony was a new reality - digital. The hosts of the evening, MGIMO professor Yuri Kobaladze and TV journalist Marianna Maksimovskaya, began their speech with her discussion. “In five to ten years, we will see a completely different set of professions in the ranking,” Kobaladze noted. - Yes, and we will select a thousand managers with the help of artificial intelligence... The assessments of the level of professionalism of the leaders will appear in real time. "

Marianna Maksimovskaya, Yuri Kobaladze

Throughout the program, this duo continually raised topics related to the world of technology and its high speeds... But, as Kobaladze admitted, while he is in opposition to the digital revolution. His gaps in this area were noticeable: he read the term "fintech" from a piece of paper as "fintext", and when pronouncing the word "agile" he hesitated slightly. “You’ll also say that you don’t know what big data is,” Maksimovskaya looked reproachfully at her partner. “I have no idea,” Kobaladze shrugged his shoulders calmly.

“Oh, it's a pity that German Gref is not with us,” Marianna continued. - If he heard you, then a robot would become my partner at the next ceremony. And at the same time, the head of Sberbank would tell you that we are plunging into the era of big data, and leading companies live according to a system in which you need to flexibly and in a timely manner evaluate changing input. "

Modern rhythms and trends were supported by the Todes dance group, as well as the director of external communications of Rambler & Co Matvey Alekseev, who, before presenting the award in one of the categories, took a selfie in front of the hall.

This time financial industry was presented in nominations not as widely as in previous years, but its heroes did not remain without awards. For example, Oleg Merkulov from VTB Insurance won the Best Commercial Director category.

An innovation was the emergence of a special nomination "For Contribution to the Development of Dialogue with Investors." The winner was the vice-president of Norilsk Nickel, Vladimir Zhukov. He was particularly lucky with the wording given by Alexander Afanasyev, Chairman of the Board of the Moscow Exchange, who presented the award.

“When I was little, I always wondered why all fairy tales end with the wedding of the heroes. As if there are no further adventures, - Afanasyev began his speech, deciding to move away from protocol congratulations. - Often, when companies go to IPOs, the eyes of their owners burn with excitement. But they soon lose interest in the further process. And today there are wonderful people on the scene who continue to work with investors and enter into a more permanent but boring relationship with the exchange. That is, they are engaged in routine work that happens in a legal marriage. "
