Strategy Development and Infrastructure

"Every Company's goal is to develop a definitive, sustainable competitive advantage" (M A PORTER 1980), .............................. which is why a company's strategy incorporates plans, goals and actions designed to develop their business over the short, medium and long term.

In order to maximise the contribution a companies purchasing and supply management function can make to bottom line profitability, it is imperative that the business strategy and purchasing and supply management strategies are aligned, and assessment made to determine whether the company culture will allow smooth alignment. We help you to determine where you stand at present.

At EJT Management Consultants Limited we work with our clients to develop a purchasing and supply management strategy for today and for tomorrow that is compatible with the business strategy and objectives. This will not only enable our clients to gain a competitive advantage in today’s market place but also ensure that they retain that competitive advantage in the future.

As part of our strategy development programme we will work together with your senior purchasing and supply management people, key suppliers, major stakeholders and customers and assess whether the current purchasing and supply management organisation, processes and purchasing practices are compatible with the business needs.

Some of the areas we will focus on will include;-

• Make and buy analysis
• Outsourcing non core competencies
• Direct versus indirect buying
• Organisation
• Standardisation
• Information and control systems
• Strategic cost management
• Lean management
• Reviewing current processes and systems
• Purchasing portfolio and commodity strategy analysis
• Value chain management

EJT Management Consultants Limited will supply a comprehensive report detailing our findings and making recommendations supported by road maps, action plans and timelines for deploying a purchasing and supply management strategy that is in total alignment with the business needs.

The output from EJT Management Consultants Limited’s study will allow our clients to implement a coherent purchasing and supply management strategy to leverage the supply market that will generate real competitive advantage.
