SAVING TRACKER SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

System and method for analysis of cost saving in a procurement process are described. The system includes a processor unit and a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium stores instructions executable by the processor unit. The instructions are programmed to perform the steps of receiving baseline cost information, receiving purchase cost information, and computing a plurality of components of cost saving. The instructions are also programmed to transfer indication of the computed components of cost saving to display device and/or financial accounting system. Moreover, the instructions are programmed to adjust at least one of the pluralities of the components of the cost saving utilizing at least one factor selected from the group consisting of currency exchange rate, commodity price, and inflation rate.

1. A system for analyzing savings, wherein there is an interconnection of at least one configurable and namable business process element, comprising:
a host computer system; at least one database component operably associated with the host computer system; a communication interface for accessing the host computer system from a plurality of remote input/output devices to manage an analysis of the cost savings for the business process element; a processor unit operably associated with the host computer system; and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the processor unit to perform the steps of: receiving an input identifying a stage within a procurement process for a selected goods and/or service item; receiving an input associated with baseline cost information for the selected item; receiving an input associated with purchase price information for the selected item; identifying a plurality of components for cost saving to be computed; computing the plurality of the components for the cost saving, based at least upon the baseline cost information and the purchase cost information; adjusting into a web form containing at least one of the plurality of the components for the cost saving utilizing at least one factor selected from the group consisting of currency exchange rate, commodity price, and inflation rate; and transferring indication of the plurality of the components for the cost saving which are computed, wherein at least one of the plurality of the components has been adjusted utilizing the at least one factor.
