As a Procurement Business Process Expert (BPE) is assigned to a geography and has 4 main responsibilities:
As part of the process and data governance model in APMT, BPEs are responsible to capture and validate needs for improvements to processes some of which will require improvement of the common IFS10 platform

The BPE is responsible for defining requirements and deploying the changes in the organization. System improvements are performed by a technical team.
Using LEAN is the way we drive improvement in APMT, and you will be expected to apply LEAN tools and methodologies when carrying out this
responsibility.
Process compliance
To maintain APMTs process standards BPEs are responsible to monitor the compliance of the PtP process in the organization. This happens through monitoring of KPIs, support for larger internal business reviews and self- performing a number process reviews during the year. Findings can lead to new improvement requirements and training
needs.
Process performance
To support the operation of APMTs terminals in an effective way it is important to monitor if the PtP process is performing well. BPEs are required to monitor this through KPIs and staying in close contact with the executers and users of the process. A BPE will for example maintain a key user community within the region supported.
New IFS10 implementations
APMT is expanding and 1-2 new terminals are currently added to our portfolio every year.
