Interim Purchasing Manager

Industry - General Engineering

Issue

  • As a short term solution, whilst a permanent replacement was being recruited, an interim Purchasing Manager was required to help with the day to day running of the purchasing department for this market leading general engineering company
  • The engagement spanned a period of seven weeks

Solution

  • Under the direction of Head of Purchasing a number of projects were undertaken including:
  • Review of vending
  • Fleet car disposal
  • Capture and review of utility spend
  • Review of inbound/outbound logistics costs
  • Creation of a central database of supplier and contract information
  • Additional duties included day to day supplier progressing and expediting

Benefits

  • From the review of logistics costs significant savings were identified, that could be realised through dynamic carrier management
  • Creation of the first ‘central’ repository of key supplier information
  • Feedback, from an external perspective, on the structure and day to day operation of the Purchasing Department was also given
