Strategic Procurement Optimization Approach

Maine Pointe's approach to strategic procurement optimization implements our rigorous six-step process to achieve measurable, sustainable improvements not only in cost but also quality, service, speed to market, compliance, supplier risk and verification.

Our approach leverages Maine Pointe’s data analytics, strategic procurement, leader & organization improvement, and industry supply chain subject matter expertise supported by SGS's market-leading testing, inspection and verification capabilities located across 140 countries.

We profile spend in detail creating category-specific cross-functional teams (Maine Pointe and client), breaking through functional silos and transforming procurement into a high-value integrated strategic procurement function.

We employ a rigorous benchmarking, baseline and evaluation process to ensure the client can track the achievement of savings and benefits, and we install a digitally-enabled procurement management operating system (PMOS) to ensure they continue to drive sustainable results, as part of our Total Value Optimization™ approach to value creation.
