Procurement

Procurement contributes more and more to the creation of value within organisation; creating short-term savings, while limiting risk and sustaining growth.

CEOs are twice as convinced as CPOs that reorganisation of Procurement will drive value creation.
Procurement 2020 Survey, Ayming

Procurement plays an essential role in the improvement of the transparency of the supply chain, access to supplier innovations and cost reduction across the organisation. Furthermore, as the principal custodian of suppliers’ data, they hold both supplier and market knowledge. It occupies a central position in organizations and plays a strategic role since it can take account of business challenges and constraints related to expected quality levels.
