The objective of this work was to identify, describe and map the procurement and hiring process carried out through the Central Purchasing Center of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). To accomplish this, firstly, a research was done on the methodologies used in the process mapping, thus defining the most appropriate and adapting it to the reality of the object of study. Data were obtained through interviews with the servers responsible for executing the process in order to obtain a detailed description of the tasks performed during the process. These data were transcribed to a table, where it was possible to identify all the active participants in the process, as well as their assignments. For process mapping, we used Bizagi Modeler, a freeware process management tool that allows the creation of various types of diagrams. The result generated a great contribution in the sector, in the form of documentation and registration of processes, as well as the simplified methodology that can be used in future mappings.
