Case Study

A major global chemicals company bought materials, goods and services in each division of the business separately. A global joint team of clients and consultants was formed to analyse the spend by category of goods covering Raw Materials, Transport, Engineering, and Goods and Services. Then the team drove a complex effort to drive out significant financial benefits of over £280m pa across the seven Divisions. One of the really difficult things was to manage and track the hundreds of improvements and ensure the results were signed off by directors and built into budgets.
