Consulting Sourcing and Purchasing for SMEs 

Unlo­cking untap­ped potential

As an external party, your supplier has a lot of influence on you

Imagine your supplier stops supp­ly­ing. As you can see, such an important part­ner is allo­wed to take up a little space in your busi­ness life. But often it looks like this:

  • Miss­ing goods. We cont­act the supplier.
  • Price increa­ses. The supplier cont­acts us.

These are usually the most predic­ta­ble supplier contacts.

Supplier-Relationship-Management (SRM) starts with talking

Did you know, that the supplier would also like to know your expec­ta­ti­ons of today, tomor­row, the day after tomor­row? Have you got time for that? Do you take the time to tell him?

In very many cases, addi­tio­nal supplier-perfor­mance within repeat busi­ness can be gained in exch­ange for infor­ma­tion you alre­ady have. This is a typi­cal win-win situation.

Time and money can also be saved in product-deve­lo­p­ment by invol­ving key suppli­ers at an early stage.

Not making use of this poten­tial over­looks the fact that mate­rial costs are often the largest item in the P&L statement.

Do you want to break new ground with your supply-chain?

I know sourcing from either perspec­tive, running a machine tool busi­ness as well as running a supplier. Manage­ment consul­ting for the supply-chain is ther­e­fore based on thorough first-hand experience.

Opti­mi­zing purchase-price by pres­sing hard condi­ti­ons leaves losers. It is much more effi­ci­ent and long lasting to kill cost within product and supply-chain than to try to move it to the other side. We all want to win. Win-win is best. Get star­ted today.
