Purchase and External Resources Performance

Optimization and reduction of costs, Purchase Management and Organization, Management of sub-contractor relations, Investment projects and outsourcing

Our philosophy

During the 1970s, the internal costs of production represented close to 65% and external purchases around 35% of the company’s total costs. These percentages have since reversed...
A company that knows how to manage Purchases and Services can expect large gains: in terms of time/quality/cost, but also in terms of innovation, flexibility and agility. In order to be able to generate sustainable performance, the management team of external resources, like that of internal resources, needs to have the following: clear goals, consistency, organization and skills.
