Having the best information about the true cost of anything being sourced, and reducing negotiations to a fact-based exchange of information are the keys to driving breakthroughs in sourcing and procurement. AlixPartners has unparalleled data and access to the information required to do just that.
World class sourcing involves a holistic approach to managing suppliers and raw material inputs. It requires specific skills, techniques and tools to maximize value from supply lines. Our purchasing experts bring deep functional expertise, proprietary analytics and a proven methodology to achieve dramatic results.
We improve price points for inputs through sophisticated tactics and tools such as “Should-Cost Modeling,” as well as more traditional levers like volume leverage and low-cost-country sourcing. We improve a company’s supply base through critical activities such as make/buy alignment and supplier development. And, we optimize demand for raw materials through actions such as specification improvement and parts standardization.
As we drive savings, we help our clients strengthen their purchasing functions and processes, resulting in highly efficient and effective purchasing organizations.
