About this file
The document is an internal process overview from the Department of Public Works (DPW) detailing their current warehouse stock ordering workflow. The existing process, implemented on January 1, 2020, involves multiple programs and users, transitioning from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to an online ordering system called PGH Supply. The current multi-step process requires end users to log into PGH Supply, obtain a confirmation number, email approvers (Marcelle Newman and Chris Hornstein), and navigate through several administrative steps involving Outlook, PGH Supply, and Cartegraph to complete warehouse supply orders. The department seeks an integrated, automated solution with mobile capabilities that would streamline the ordering process from initial request through final order pickup.
The current system involves manual interactions across multiple platforms, including end-user order placement, email approvals, status tracking, and physical order pulling by warehouse laborers. When an order is complete, the warehouse admin contacts the end user for pickup, and the user signs a packing slip, which is then scanned and uploaded to Cartegraph. The process highlights inefficiencies in the current workflow, with potential for technological improvement to reduce steps, increase automation, and create a more user-friendly interface. The document includes a specific example of a supply order (Order #702b16) for the 5th Division, involving janitorial supplies, office safety supplies, tools, and equipment, demonstrating the practical application of the current ordering process.

The current process the Department of Public Works uses to order warehouse stock was implemented on January 1, 2020. We transitioned from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to online ordering on PGH Supply. This website was created by I&P used in a different department originally, it was modified to meet our general needs. This overall process involves three programs, four users, and an upwards of twelve steps.
It would be beneficial to have an all-encompassing program with automation and mobile capabilities. This complete ecosystem would provide a user-friendly interface the End User could place an order. Work on filling this order can be done in the program from approvals to order creation to pulling the order to the End User signing off on the order when they pick up and receiving a copy of that signed confirmation for their records.
End User logs onto PGH Supply to place a WHS order. At checkout, End User is given a confirmation number.
