Global sourcing (with a focus on sourcing from China and India) - Manufacturing locations (optimizing the industrial footprint, offshoring).
Organization
Drawing up organisational models for procurement, to set up global strategies for sourcing and offshoring – the Lean Organization.
Functional matters
Support for optimization of purchasing, with emphasis on offshoring to countries with low labour costs and the use of innovative tools – Continuous improvement programmes for manufacturing – End-to end supply chain optimization (customer-firm-supplier) – Product cost reduction programmes (technical savings, including action with suppliers, complexity reduction).
“Globalization and the opening of new markets create enormous opportunities, but companies will only be able to grasp them if they revise and update their industrial location and sourcing strategies. At the same time they will have to start redesigning the supply chain if their customer service is not to degrade – and to prevent an explosive growth in money tied up as circulating capital"
