QUICK CHECK – THE BASIS FOR SUCCESS

We are often asked for our opinion on issues, for example: How are the areas of purchasing and procurement positioned in comparison to other departments in the same sector and on a cross-sector basis? Performance capability cannot, however, be determined according to generally applicable performance indicators. Our experience shows that it is essential to compare all aspects (purchasing organisation, purchasing processes, supplier management, sourcing, logistics, purchasing controlling, product innovation and use of the IT standards) with the specific best-practice solutions.

We assess all relevant areas with a comprehensive list of questions using a current standard of comparison, and classify them into a ranking. This classification is prepared jointly with the specialist departments, and clearly points out the activities necessary to achieve improvements. On the basis of the quantified benefit of the improvement and the cost and effort required, we then create a work plan defining the further procedure. This quickly identifies your best practice – as the cornerstone for your specific company success.
