The importance of OKRs (objectives and key results)
Adriana took advantage of the meeting to talk about the importance of OKRs (objectives and key results).
The methodology, which was created by Andrew Grove, former CEO of Intel, is applied within the Electronic Market and aims to define the main objectives of the company and each of its employees.
The director stressed the importance of defining objectives on a quarterly basis. After all, they are what guide the company and its employees to work focused on the strategy, in addition to helping the organization grow sustainably.
Diversity program completes 1 year and brings something new
At this quarterly meeting, the program DiverseME completed one year of life. After 365 days of the project, several initiatives and events were held, with the aim of promoting diversity within the Mercado Eletrônico work environment.
Meetings on feminism, black pride and LGBTQ+ brought together collaborators to tell stories of struggle and inclusion, in order to foster knowledge. After all, only by understanding the events is it possible to connect stories and promote empathy.
To conclude the HR presentation and celebrate DiverseME's anniversary, Adriana announced that, starting in 2020, ME will offer 20 days of paternity leave to all future fathers in the company.
Siemens is the guest at the first meeting of the year
Rodrigo Luccatto, Process Manager at Siemens and Mercado Eletrônico customer, came to the company to present the organization, share his professional stories and the day-to-day challenges that ME technology is able to help with.
At the beginning of his presentation, Luccatto spoke a little about Siemens, which is present in several areas of activity, such as gas and energy, smart infrastructure, digital industries and mobility. He also highlighted that, here in Brazil, it operates in all regions, including the most remote ones, and that it has the most complex plant in the world, in Jundiaí (inland São Paulo), with 9 different factories operating in the same large space.
Electronic Market helps RPO (Regional Process Office) area
The executive, who coordinates the RPO (Regional Process Office), spoke about the difficulties that the area faced daily and the benefits guaranteed after implementing the Mercado Eletrônico solution.
Common problems included:
- The same supplier delivered products to different BUs, without a scheduling process and generating a huge queue of trucks.
- POs were sent via email and PDF, making management difficult.
- Rework in the invoice entry process.
- Different locations for receiving materials.
- PO FUP process was not standardized.
After implementing the ME solution, the scenario changed completely:
- Elimination of truck queues.
- More quality in the process.
- Reduction of material and logistics costs.
- Elimination of operational processes.
- Opportunity to work with a local supplier with extensive experience.
- More speed and transparency.
At the end of the presentation, ME employees were able to ask Rodrigo Luccatto questions.
