Many companies have
conducted successful spend category
analysis, but have later discovered
that these savings do not materialise,
and very little change can be seen to
the bottom line. In other instances,
companies who do not employ a full-time
purchasing team may be yet to visit
spend analysis, and simply add the job
of purchasing to an existing role. Achieving
deep and sustainable cost reductions
across categories is not an easy task;
it requires excellent data, well thought-out
sourcing strategies, powerful negotiations
and stakeholder involvement.
Saxon White Consulting is committed
to delivering significant savings that
can be directly traced to the bottom
line. By investigating the current level
of expenditure by category, establishing
the client's future requirements, and
conducting in-depth market analysis,
sustainable long-term cost reductions
can be identified and delivered.
The success of direct cost reduction
is less dependant upon cross-functional
teams than in-direct costs reduction,
with delivery and support the only real
concerns for the operational stakeholders.
With this in mind, a review of direct
costs can be conducted with little involvement
from our clients, allowing them to get
on with their day to day role safe in
the knowledge we are saving them money
in the background.
As for in-direct costs, our experience
tells us it is only when an organisation
commits to investing stakeholder time
can it be guaranteed that the delivered
solution meets the needs and objectives
of the entire organisation. |
