Online Educational Course “e-Procurement Learning”
This e-Learning course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the concept of public procurement and e-Government Procurement (e-GP) and how e-Procurement solutions can be designed and implemented in a more effective and economical way. This course outlines how to prepare a strategy for establishing an e-GP framework and presents in detail basic and advanced tools of e-Procurement systems. Moreover, it describes the need for the establishment and use of public procurement indicators, as well as how public financial management can be strengthened through the incorporation of procurement and e-Procurement into PFM reform projects.
Course overview
E-Government procurement (e-GP) projects are often part of the wider e-government efforts of countries to efficiently and effectively serve their citizens and businesses. E-GP promotes better governance in public procurement by increasing transparency and eliminating opportunities for fraud and corruption. The application of ICT to procurement processes has resulted in e-Procurement platforms that are ideally suited to address the e-GP objectives.
Pursuing an e-Procurement system implementation is an effective way to improve public procurement management, through the automation of all underlying processes. Many governments worldwide have adopted end-to-end e-Procurement systems which cover the full procurement cycle.
The current e-Learning course is composed of five modules, aiming to assist its audience to better understand electronic procurement and provide them with guidance on decisions they may need to take for establishing or improving the e-GP framework of their countries.
The course initially focuses on how organizations can establish a plan for an e-GP implementation, and what benefits can be expected by such an implementation project. Furthermore it provides an overview of the basic and advanced features and modules of e-Procurement systems, along with concise information on how to implement each of the described e-Procurement modules.
Additionally, the course briefly describes e-Procurement indicators and presents how these can be used by governments in order to measure adoption, performance and overall governance. Lastly, it focuses on how to incorporate procurement and e-procurement into FMIS implementations in the context of PFM reform projects.
At the end of this course, a certification can be obtained by those participants who complete the course and successfully pass the respective examination.
Course features
The course is composed of the following modules:
This e-Learning course is designed for the clients of the World Bank (stakeholders of public sector organizations) who wish to strengthen their knowledge on the e-GP concept. Learners can get an in-depth view on how to pursue a successful e-GP implementation and e-Procurement system features in order to effectively cover the whole public procurement cycle.
The learners should at least have an understanding of the national public procurement setting and the EU public procurement procedures as well as a high-level view of web-based applications and software implementation projects.

Online Educational Course “The Supply Chain Eco-System Framework”
by N. Viswanadham
Supply Chain Ecosystems are made up of a network of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources all of which are involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer.
The course begins by describing how modern supply chains have evolved into complex international networks, which can no longer be adequately described using the linear concept of a ‘chain’. The course then reviews how modern supply chain ecosystems now comprise of a network of companies, countries and their governments, social and political organisations, natural, industrial (clusters), financial and human resources, delivery infrastructure including logistics and IT, and knowledge of the industrial environment. You will learn how within these ecosystems, each configuration is unique to the particular enterprise that owns that supply chain.
This course will be of great interest to all professionals who work in the areas of operations management, logistics, procurement and information technology, and to all learners who are interested in developing a career in the area of supply chain management.
The key points from this module are:
The Ecosystem Model: A framework to visualize all Operational, Strategic, Management and Execution issues.
Ecosystems comprise of a network of:
Companies, countries and their governments, Social and political organisations
Natural, Industrial (clusters) and Financial and Human resources
Delivery infrastructure including logistics and IT
Connections, and knowledge of the industrial environment.
All interacting together with the landscape and climate (economic and industrial).
Supply chain ecosystems consist of:
Institutions
Resources
Delivery Services infrastructure
Supply Chain
Institutions:
Customs, Export and Other Govt. Regulators
Quality Control and Environmental issues
Social, Financial and Trade issues
Resources:
Infrastructure, Sea ports, Airports, Roads
Industry clusters
Human, Financial and Natural resources and labor unions
Delivery Services infrastructure:
Logistics and IT companies
Transport – Rail, Air, Ship, Road
Logistics parks, SEZs, Freight corridors
Supply Chain:
Retail chains
Distribution
Manufacturing
SuppliersDrivers of Supply Chain Competitiveness
Resources: Labour, Materials and Energy
Government policies and investments on institutional, environmental and infrastructural elements
Delivery mechanisms: Logistics and IT
SES Framework can hep to study:

The Five STERM Forces:

New Technologies
New Engineering materials
Regulations and policies
New Management techniques
Modular Product:
– Made by appropriately combining different modules.
– Provides customers a number of options for each module and thus the product.
– Products differ from each other in terms of the subsets of modules assembled to produce them.
Modular Process:
– Each module undergoes a specified set of operations making it possible to outsource its manufacturing and inventory to them in a semi-finished form.
Part Standardization:
– Common parts are used across many processes
– Products redesigned as necessary
Process Standardization:
– Standardizing as much of the process as possible, making a generic or family product.
– Final product assembly delayed until the customer order is received (i.e. called “postponement”).
Modular Organization Designs
Modularization of product designs paves the way for similar modularization of organization designs facilitting coordination of activities via an “information structure” rather than managerial authority or hierarchy.
The codification of knowledge and standardization (through technical standards and design rules) of the interfaces between organizationally separate stages of production has made vertical specialization (organizational modularity) replace vertical integration.
Types of Resources
Classical economics define:>
– Natural resources
– Human resources
– Financial resources
– Capital assets
Modern view also includes:
– Knowledge, Intellectual property
– Social capital relationships with stake holders
– Management of high value delivery processes
Special Economic Zones (SEZs)
SEZ is a geographical region that has economic laws different from the rest of the country. The goal of SEZs is to attract foreign investments. SEZs have been established in many countries – China, India, Jordan, Poland, Philippines, Russia and North Korea. Indian SEZs are not as effective as those in China probably because they are not as focused.
Clusters
Clusters are geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, and associated institutions (universities, training) in a particular vertical.
Clusters allow companies to operate more productively in sourcing inputs; accessing inforamtion, technology and human resources.
