Procurement<\/h3>\n

All companies, whatever their line of business, are confronted with a continually evolving environment. This includes volatility in raw materials prices and availability, growth periods followed by recession, changing consumer requirements, ever-increasing competitive pressure, and the emergence of new competitors, amongst others.<\/p>\n

Priority areas of procurement<\/h3>\n

Cost optimisation, margin control, risk management and agility issues remain priority topics for companies, and procurement plays a major role in achieving a company\u2019s objectives in these areas.<\/p>\n

Procurement transformation<\/h3>\n

There are six priorities for transforming the procurement function:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The development of the strategic plan which must define the ambition, challenges, strategic transformation areas and the impact on the organisation<\/li>\n
  2. The definition and implementation of the sourcing strategy<\/li>\n
  3. The procurement organisation (interface with the rest of the company, redefinition of the global\/local link, promotion of cross-functional actions and the \u201cinternal buying experience\u201d)<\/li>\n
  4. The implementation of category management which must cover the entire life cycle of the supplier relationship<\/li>\n
  5. The optimisation of costs and the value generated<\/li>\n
  6. The management of the supplier relationship covering the whole collaboration cycle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
