Professionalization of purchasing/supply functions
We are involved in the professionalization of the purchasing function, in particular through the separation of purchasing and procurement, which are often confused in many companies. The separation of these two functions, based on different logics, leads to gains in productivity and, above all, efficiency in supply chain management.
We reorganize functions, adapt processes and tools so that purchasing and supply functions can continue to work together effectively to guarantee product availability and supplier performance.
Our experience has shown us that the gains achieved are reduced stock levels without disruption, control of purchasing budgets, anticipation of purchase amounts over a medium/long-term horizon, information sharing with suppliers, and better use of existing information system functionalities.
Our consultants are also called upon to train operational staff in purchasing and procurement best practices. We can work with your teams to set up a skills development program tailored to your business context.
We operate in various sectors
Large groups, institutions, SMEs ; we have the resources to support companies of all sizes and in all circumstances (from long-term vision to crisis support)
Supply chain is becoming an integral part of industrial sites. Managing site supplies means working more closely with suppliers, and integrating factory workflows into the supply chain.
Our work focuses on issues relating to the organization and management of physical flows, as well as on forward-looking studies linked to territories. Our areas of expertise include urban logistics, modal shift and carbon footprint.
