In fall 1999, a self-directed team of individuals involved in various aspects of technology procurement activities realized that Chico's procurement process - a process that had been in place for over 15 years - was in need of change. Team objectives included applying the recently learned process mapping methodology (PMM) to the technology procurement process with the intent of reaping immediate process improvements.
