A FTSE100 company

Boxwood, 2004

Reducing purchasing costs

Summary

Our client, a major retailer, was becoming increasingly uncompetitive as a result of their poor supply chain.

All internal attempts to improve efficiency and cut costs had failed.

 

We developed a process for removing ‘avoidable’ costs from the supply chain, and embedded it into the organisation of 120 buyers.


Over 48 months we managed a programme that reduced the cost of goods for resale by £710m – this was independently audited by the client.
