Strategy and Organisation
You want to procure successfully on a long-term basis? Then you need an optimal procurement strategy and perfectly organised procedures. They are, after all, the framework for efficient and viable supply management. RölfsPartner helps you with ARAIA to increase the value added by your company through successful procurement, improve the quality of your procurement processes and provide your staff with the necessary qualifications.
The starting point for comprehensive development of your strategy and organisation is our APOS method. The abbreviation stands for Assessment of Processes, Organisation and Strategy. APOS enables us to systematically assess the maturity of procurement organisations and strategies. With objective key figures we compare the efficiency of your Procurement Department with the performance of numerous companies that have already been analysed. The objective is to identify the areas in need of action, initiate improvements and thus strengthen the position of Procurement in the company on a long-term basis. In doing so, ARAIA pursues a holistic approach that encompasses all relevant organisational levels. We take into account the indicators and targets shown in the chart.
