Managers S.A. Supply Management Division developed the Strategic
Supply Program to detect and implement reduction cost opportunities
in goods and services purchases.
This program is based on the resolution of supply systems inefficiencies
produced by different causes such as organization segmentation
in purchase areas, the limited leverage of purchase potential,
inertia in the modification of purchase processes and excessive
risk aversion that hinders taking advantage from reduction costs
opportunities.
Tools used in this program allow beating obstacles resulting from
existing misinformation in the company (suppliers and/or purchasers'
undetected inefficiencies, global suppliers lack of consideration,
unavailability of overall costs, lack of clarity in price-fixing
criteria), unbalance in knowledge among the different areas (limited
knowledge of suppliers, non-monitoring of yield improvements)
and purchasers’ behavior that should be optimized (restriction
upon habitual suppliers, up-going budget instead of being “zero-based”,
informal procedures, urgent purchases).
The Strategic Supply Program is a fast-and-high-impact solution
that enhances funds flows and companies’ profitability by
achieving the following objectives:
|
