Is your purchasing team being stretched too thin as a result of employee furloughs, headcount reductions, and or a freeze on new hires? Do you believe this is limiting your ability to provide the cost savings and the level of productivity that is expected of you?
Before my clients work with me, many of them say yes to these questions and they find themselves in this exact situation.
It does not have to be this way.
Now for a quick case study: Rick, the COO of a manufacturing company came to me to take some of the workload off his Purchasing department as they recently had a large reduction in staff. We were able to increase productivity by 25% and provide a combined average of a 28% savings for the stretch wrap, waste hauling/disposal, and energy procurement projects we worked on.
Let’s examine in more detail some of the other key benefits we were able to provide to Rick’s organization:
1. Productivity:
- Purchasing Results managed the entire tender process for multiple sourcing events including creating and sending out all Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Proposal (RFP), negotiations and all email/verbal correspondence with suppliers participating in the tenders. This freed up considerable time for Rick’s purchasing team which allowed them to become much more productive in other areas of their business.
- We provided an articulate, detailed summary analysis for each tender. This met the requirements of senior executive management, while dramatically freeing up time for Rick’s purchasing team to work on other projects.
2. No Risk:
- We provided free benchmarking for the designated spend categories.
- Rick’s company only pays a percentage of the savings achieved as the savings are earned.
3. Effectiveness:
- We increased the bandwidth of their organization without them having to hire additional employees.
- Productivity and cost savings are maximized.
- Budgets are adhered to.
