Material planning at single part and product level
- Uniform for all production plants based on your sales figures and coordinated with the entire corporate planning
- taking into account intercompany processes and in-house production vs. external procurement
- broken down into single parts and suppliers (including their shares in multiple source). This enables you to communicate your required capacities and quantities to your vendors at an early stage
- Finally, single parts planning can be consolidated at product level. Planned technical changes can also be taken into account. → full material transparency in your planned product costs
Monthly analyses in coordination with Controlling and Accounting → no "purchasing island"
- Price variances vs. Budget per plant / material / vendor
- Price deviations from the contract price per plant / material / vendor
- Highlighting currency effects
- Material price development per end product series incl. separation between price and currency effects and technical changes
- Payment and delivery terms
With a high-quality database, many other evaluations can also be created
- ABC analysis by supplier, business area, plant
- Which products contain parts from a particular supplier? Important, if this supplier should fail
- Development of the purchasing volume with a supplier as preparation for the annual price negotiations
Material controlling before start of production
When tendering for a new customer project, you have to submit a reliable offer within a short time.
- How can the usually largest cost block, the material, be represented efficiently and resiliently?
After winning a new customer project, it is your turn to tender required new components.
- Transparent representation of the prices achieved
- Follow-up of the material costs of the product both on the price level and with regard to technical changes until the start of series production
Systems and processes
- Optimization of your material budget process
- Introduction or optimization of a worldwide uniform commodity group structure. → Exploitation of bundling effects with suppliers
- Support in the decision for purchasing systems. As I do not sell any such systems, the advice is 100% neutral and fact-oriented
- Implementation of your customized purchasing system possible with both internal and external IT experts
Trainings / Courses
- Excel training courses especially for buyers and purchasing controllers
- Effective handling of (very) large files
- Process training in the course of optimizing processes
