Initial situation at the client
The Initial Situation, a pattern seen across many indirect and technical categories:
▪ Decentralized purchasing across multiple sites and business units
▪ 190 suppliers and over 7,000 packaging materials driving complexity
▪ No unified standards, pricing logic, or product group strategy
▪ €8M annual packaging spend with limited transparency and control
Measures taken
My Approach:
* Built a complete Packaging Spend Cube across all locations
* Analyzed packaging types, suppliers, and cost drivers end to end
* Identified standardization, bundling, and Best-Cost-Country levers
* Executed market benchmarking and >100 RFI/RFQ processes
* Led on-site evaluations and negotiations with key suppliers
