  Our vision
No serious discussion is required to convince anyone of the strong correlation between supply chain management and purchasing. It is obvious that both disciplines have to be considered as an unique specialty. However, the correlation and overlap between these disciplines results in conflicts of interests and inefficiencies, yet at the same time they creates opportunities.

An increasing number of companies are utilizing these business opportunities that exist on the “cutting face” between purchasing and supply chain management.

We recognize these potential business improvements, especially in the area of global sourcing, collaboration with suppliers, purchasing strategies and non-product related (NPR) cost reduction programs.

Groenewout provides

Following decades of experience, Groenewout has developed a proven vision for purchasing and supply chain management as integrated disciplines. Global sourcing is part of our supply chain redesign methods. We evaluate the sourcing opportunities with a trade-off approach between purchasing simplicity versus supply chain complexity. As a result, the implemented improvement programs are based on quantified decision and simulation processes.

Your benefits
Our objective is to realize the optimized improvement between purchasing and supply chain strategy in order to:
  • Reduce the (NPR) purchase budgets and actual costs;
  • Have a competitive sourcing structure and effective locations;
  • Professional vendor and relation management processes.
