Tiivistelmä
This thesis's primary goal was to outline a transitional model from project-oriented to product-oriented procurement utilizing best industry practices and guidance from case business specialists. A qualitative study has been conducted to gain a better understanding of Konecranes' (KC) procurement practices and analyze how clients' projects are procured. Findings suggest that projects are customized to meet customer requirements and that a smooth transition to product-oriented procurement may be achieved by defining more standard products. The literature study emphasized how factors including supply strategy, quality standards, relationships with suppliers, and the quality of communication between stakeholders have an impact on procurement.
This project's concentration is on the procurement of the Bogie super module in an RTG crane and the modules and categories that fall under it. Assessing the transition process was pursued as the purpose of this work and resulted in the formulation of a roadmap for the study's scope to be examined over a trial period. The bottlenecks and difficulties have been identified, and the resources to work with, such as stakeholders, software platforms, etc., have been confirmed. After the trial period is successfully completed, the learned lessons will be used as part of a long-term project that will eventually be expanded to additional super modules of the RTG Crane and maybe utilized for other cranes and products as well.
