Structuring the Purchasing department is essential to ensure consistency between the objectives set and the capacity to achieve them in terms of means, resources, skills and processes.
Context and challenges
There is no single model for a Purchasing organisation, but an infinite number of models that need to be aligned with the specific context of the company, its strategic challenges and its roadmap.
The Axsant approach
Axsant’s support in structuring and organising purchasing departments is characterised by :
- An initial impact assessment to measure the department’s level of maturity in relation to the challenges to be met, identifying the strengths on which to base the department’s transformation, the risks to be overcome and the opportunities to be seized.
- Re-engineering and co-construction of processes to match the challenges identified and the objectives set.
- Coaching the various stakeholders in the process, from senior management to operational staff.
- Implementing appropriate tools, indicators and dashboards.
- Steering the transformation and implementation plan, with a resolutely constructive approach geared towards improving the maturity of each player.
