OBJECTIVES


The board of directors of the organization hired our expertise in projects related to business management and processes because they needed to have a better understanding of their processes, especially in the procurement area, in order to improve efficiency.

PROJECT

A global sourcing Project was developed involving also a team of foreign consultants that brought innovative Technologies for procurement. The use of Way/Amadeus’s tool was fundamental to have a deeper understanding of the processes and relations of the procurement area with the others aiming an optimization of tasks and procedures.

RESULTS

The objective was achieved as verified by the increase in efficiency and decrease of operations in the area of procurement and supplies of the company. One of the most interesting aspects of the project is that it was provided to Marcopolo the performance of a collaborative benchmarking with Boeing so that some of the initiatives were therefore designed in a way that both companies could acquire together some materials they both use.
