DMAIC COST REDUCTION

DMAIC consultants offer strategic advice and practical methods of cost reduction which optimise supplier relationships, reduce waste and increase efficiency. Our consultants have experience gained during their careers at a senior levels, and they use this experience to advise businesses on how to get the best deal from suppliers.


We help to:

  • Improve internal processes
  • Manage supplier relationships
  • Benchmark prices
  • Conduct tendering exercises
  • Integrate & identify new suppliers

The majority of our work is done outside of your office environment. Our processes, resources, and systems ensure minimal impact on your internal resources.

The first thing our consultants do is listen to you. Our aim is to get a good understanding of your business and your priorities.


Our consultants typically start by reviewing your spending, giving an analytical view of who is buying what, why, from which supplier and for how much.


They do this with minimal interference, resource and impact on your business operations, they analyse the expenditure for a certain cost area for the past 12 months.


This analysis always throws up some interesting patterns that our clients were unaware of before.


Our objective analysis uncovers anomalies, spots trends in spending and identifies opportunities to save, pricing errors, anomalous spending patterns and off-contract purchasing.


DMAIC COST REDUCTION PROCESS

Analysis

Our consultants prepare a report on your current status in the selected cost categories where you think savings may be achieved.
It is here that we deploy the Define and Measure portions of the DMAIC model.

Research

Our consultants will present you with an options report, based on their expertise and long-standing experience to show you where potential savings may be achieved.
This is the Analyse part of the DMAIC model.

Selection and Implementation

Once you have chosen an option, our consultants can facilitate the implementation of the savings process in your company.
The Implementation phase of the DMAIC model.

Monitoring

Over an agreed period, we monitor the savings actually achieved in performance reports.
The final Control portion of the DMAIC model.
On occasion these savings can form the basis for our remuneration.
