Outsourcing (BPO)
Our three main principles (1,2,3)
applied to three areas of BPO (A,B,C)
Optimization of Processes
(eliminate, reduce, simplify,
automate, communicate)
Reduction of Losses
and Inefficiencies
Enhancement of overall performance to deliver value
to stakeholders

OUR SERVICES
- Standardization of the RFI/RFQ process
- Data organization that will enable better spend categorization and spend analysis (baselining? We need at least one reference to baseline definition. We can not reduce cost without a baseline)
- Define/review/enhance the process governance (quotation, negotiation, PO, contract, delivery, payment)
- Reducing waste of time with small quotation => creation of catalog/distributor list
- Analyzing and reducing the supplier base => work with key suppliers with high performance, eliminate small and non-recurring suppliers,
- Reduce overdue payments, fines, taxes
- Reduce price divergence (PO x invoice x negotiation)
- Cost reduction – Once we organize the data, and categorize the spend we can create a cluster of similar products and promote BID with more interesting Spend to the suitors
- Dashboard – action as a control tower we could organize and create a Dashboard with the key points that should be accompanied

OUR SERVICES
- Innovative methodology of idea generation, sorting, analyzing and developing each idea for cost reduction
- Note: worth taking a look at Systematic Innovation
- Categorization and prioritization methodology allows focus on the ones that might give better return
- Dedicated team working aside the internal team. Exclusive focus on cost reduction initiatives
- Material replacement (for better cost/quality performance)
- Supplier replacement (for better cost/quality performance)
- New product specifications (cost/quality performance or elimination of unnecessary parts)
- Process improvement
We employ a robust methodology for generating ideas, sorting, analyzing, and developing each idea for cost reduction. Our process is designed to be systematic and comprehensive, ensuring a thorough exploration of opportunities. Here is an overview of our methodology:
- Inclusive Sessions: We conduct inclusive sessions involving team members with diverse expertise
- Structured Framework: We use structured frameworks to encourage creative thinking and idea generation
- Idea Capture: All ideas, regardless of scale, are captured without judgment: share/online documents to capture ideas open to anyone in the organization
- Categorization: Ideas are categorized based on various criteria, such as (not limited to) short-term and long-term feasibility, departmental impact, and potential savings
- Prioritization: We prioritize ideas based on their potential impact and feasibility, considering both immediate gains and long-term benefits
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Our methodology emphasizes cross-functional collaboration to ensure a holistic approach
- Detailed Planning: For selected ideas, we develop detailed implementation plans, considering timelines, resource requirements, and dependencies
- Continuous Improvement: We incorporate feedback and continuously refine the plan to optimize results
- Tracking Activities: Key performance metrics are established to monitor the effectiveness of implemented cost reduction measures
- Feedback Loop: A feedback loop is maintained to gather insights from stakeholders and adjust strategies as needed
- Training and Awareness: We promote awareness and provide training to ensure that our cost reduction methodologies are understood and embraced by the team and the stakeholders.
This methodology ensures a structured and data-driven approach to cost reduction, aligning with our commitment to delivering effective and sustainable solutions.
Administrative
Processes
Optimization & Automation
Optimization and Automation
of Administrative Processes
- We dedicate special attention to internal administrative processes that repetitively occur in the organization.
- The main goal is to eliminate, reduce, simplify, automate, and communicate the processes in a better way.
- Using VSM (Value Stream mapping), we reduce processes that do not add value
- Elimination of re-work.
- Do it right the first time
Key aspects and strategies for dedicating special attention to internal administrative recurring processes:
- Documentation of Workflows: Mapping out and documenting each step of the administrative processes to gain a comprehensive understanding.
- Feedback Mechanisms: Establish mechanisms for gathering feedback from employees involved in these processes to identify pain points and inefficiencies
- Technology Integration: Explore opportunities for process automation through the integration of technology tools or software to streamline repetitive tasks
- Establish Standards: Define and implement standardized procedures for everyday administrative tasks to ensure consistency and reduce variability
- Continuous Training: Invest in training programs to ensure that employees are equipped with the necessary skills to perform administrative tasks efficiently
- Optimize Resources: Review resource allocation for administrative tasks and ensure that personnel, time, and budget are appropriately allocated
- Open Communication Channels: Encourage open communication between different departments involved in administrative processes to foster collaboration and identify synergies.
- Metrics and Analytics: Implement metrics and analytics to measure the performance of internal administrative processes and make data-driven decisions for improvement.
Process Mining: brief explanation
- Scalable Solutions: Implement solutions that are scalable as the organization grows, ensuring that administrative processes can adapt to changing needs.
By dedicating attention to these aspects, organizations can improve the efficiency of internal administrative processes and also create a work environment that is conducive to productivity and employee satisfaction.
