Supply Chain Optimisation
VA Business Solutions will standardize and organize a supply chain team and then integrate it into an organisation's total business process to fully leverage buying power. Procurement should have a strategic role in selecting and interacting with vendors and not operate downstream of all the traditional decision making functions, namely engineering and sales.
The VA team work with a client's procurement team to realign their function and maximise overall purchasing efficiency.
We show clients how to establish internal and external relationships, monitor vendor performance, capitalise on their purchasing power, and become better negotiators. Our program is driven by total cost reduction and customer service. VA Consultants install behaviours to ensure sustainability. Our cost savings methodology means the program is internally measured and audited by the client's finance team to ensure ownership and bottom-line results.
