What can we do for you?

The following examples describe situations that make additional support in purchasing activities necessary.

• Temporary need of additional purchasers for special projects

You don‘t want to obligate more ressources in the longterm, as currently there is only a temporary need in strengthening the purchasing department?

Weber Consulting as a service provider is available as a flexible ressource. We do not only support  you as a consultant, but also work on the level of operation as part of your team.

• Short term personal changes in the purchasing department

The head of procurement or a technical purchaser are not available for different reasons, a fast and professional transitional solution is immediately necessary.

Weber Consulting provides you an interim solution and gives support both on the management as well as on the operational level.

• Acquisition of a company or a further production site with own purchasing activities

The consolidation of the workforce, structure and organization of different purchasing departments needs to be coordinated.

Weber Consulting takes the lead in managing, coordinating and controlling the reorganisation.

• Reorganisation of purchasing department

- Analysis of internal processes and structures, within purchasing department and between interfaces

- Development of a project concept according to the company specific problems

This has to be organized as a purchasing project, taking an an external and distanced view on the internal situation. Permanent employees can hardly be taken out of their daily business tasks. But such an extensive reorganization project requires time, consistency, intensity and neutrality.

Weber Consulting offers an experienced project team to plan, realize and control those projects in cooperation with your team.

• Your company does not have a purchasing department?

Structured procurement processes were not necessary until now. Purchasing activities were done by other departments (e.g. Engineering).

According to experience a well organized and worked through procurement process can only be guaranteed by a responsible sourcing department. Purchasing should not be done „by the way“. Purchasing is not only the act of buying this but includes e.g. supplier analysis and evaluation, evaluating offers, supplier negotiations and annual review meetings, controlling, etc.

Facing a great workload in the field of engineering etc, these tasks have to be professionally operated by a purchasing department.

Weber Consulting fulfils this function in times of temporal or personnel bottlenecks. Moreover gives support in setting up a purchasing department.
