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:

 

Purchase and corporate strategies’ alignment

 

Improvement incorporation in processes and in supplying organization
