Abstract
Globalization has changed the supply chains during the last decades. Now
there is the opportunity to reach infinite suppliers around the world and to
be able to make it even more profitable than going to your neighbor supplier.
Therefore, information to keep the Supply Managers updated about the last
trends and new emerging countries and industries is something that brings
lots of value to any company. To face this challenge, in this thesis a tool is
developed in the context of a multinational company as it is Hilti AG.
The tool provides Supply Managers with updated information about all the
countries in the world where they can find suppliers for their products. With
the close collaboration of current Supply Managers and understanding the
needs of the company, the tool is driven through several iterations and finally
tested after doing a benchmark and contacting 150+ suppliers globally.
