Procurement is no longer simply defined by cost reduction

The paradigm shift from cost minimization to value maximization has changed the position of the complex world of materials management within the organization. This fundamental change is accompanied by increasing competition, reduced profit margins and proliferating product requirements for existing and future products, in addition to new markets in low-cost countries. Today’s procurement departments are no longer just responsible for finding the best prices possible but must also, as a central part of the supply chain, deliver additional value for the company.-

Typical issues are:

• How can I get and sustainably secure the best conditions?
• How can I improve supplier performance and safeguard against risks?
• How can I increase procurement efficiency?
• Which added value does the procurement department deliver and how can I communicate this?
• How can we fully utilize the procurement organization’s potential?
