Supplier portfolio

The performance of your suppliers and the quality of their products have a direct impact on the capacity of your own company. There are two ways to enhance your position in this respect: successfully introduce new suppliers or improve the existing ones.

We support you in making the strengths and weaknesses of your supplier portfolio and supplier management transparent and puts proposed improvements into practice jointly with you – no matter where your business partners are located. The most crucial criterion for selection of suitable suppliers is the question of total costs (Total Cost of Ownership). This approach not only takes acquisition costs into account, but also the consequential costs of later use.

In the first step we identify and evaluate the level of performance of your suppliers using our Quick Check Audit Tool. After that we jointly identify and prioritise the areas in need of action in which specific improvements shall be achieved. Our range of services encompasses more than ten areas – from supplier management to quality management and supplier processes all the way to global sourcing.

All measures are complemented by efficient change management and project management. This enables us to work as effectively as possible and incorporate the necessary changes, also among the workforce. A gratifying side effect of professional support is that you profit from project results which not only enhance economic efficiency, but also positively influence public perception of your company. Finally, such aspects as sustainable purchasing and compliance with ethics standards play an increasingly important role in procurement.

On request we would be glad to provide you with detailed information.
