PROCUREMENT  
AND STRATEGIC SOURCING

Helping clients dramatically reduce the cost of materials and services in order to achieve breakthrough improvement in cost competitiveness is a practice area in which the McCormick Jahncke Group has a truly distinctive advantage.

McCormick Jahncke’s Strategic Procurement is a disciplined approach, a proven methodology, and an innovative training and development tool that has helped companies reduce their overall cost structures. Utilizing our international maritime relationships, we have successfully combined the disciplines of transportation operations, strategic procurement, and process redesign to ensure successful implementation. Companies using strategic procurement to redefine the cost structure of their industries are setting the new standard for competitors. We have developed a point-of-view on the use of international offsets as a strategic element of marketing and procurement strategy.

We recognize that the purchasing area offers opportunities for significant cost improvement. Often a company ’s organizational structure fragments purchasing, thus limiting leverage. Innovation and risk are not rewarded .

While buyers know what they want, they often find it difficult to keep current on supplier productivity gains, which effect broader supply options, and redefine the basis for pricing.

Our pr oven Strategic Procurement Approach, coupled with our transportation expertise, can provide you with a unique value-added source for operational effectiveness and strategic clarity.
