You’ve cut costs to the bone. You’ve “leaned” operations to just short of the breaking point. Even so, your company may still be leaving millions of dollars on the table because of fragmented, inefficient supply chains.
Here’s the problem: When companies spend too much time pulling costs out of supply chain relationships on a case-by-case basis, they undermine critical supplier relationships and ultimately increase risk.
Maine Pointe takes a different approach. We help our clients re-orient their supply chains to a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model so they can root out and address hidden costs. We look at sustainability across the supply chain. We enhance supply chain visibility so clients can work collaboratively with their partners to create a more efficient, global supply chain network.
Questions to Ask
- How well do you measure the value your procurement department delivers each month?
- Are you able to align supply chain savings data to the P&L?
- Is procurement a competitive advantage for your firm?
- Is procurement a C-level position in your firm?
- Do your procurement policies support your corporate and green/sustainability goals?
