Oakland Consulting
The 3i approach to spend management excellenceOakland Consulting is one of Europe's leading management consultancies - helping managers across all industry sectors to improve performance and quality.
Working in partnership, Oakland Consulting and Science Warehouse have developed the unique 3i approach to achieving spend management excellence:
The approach is modular so it can be tailored specifically to match customers' needs. It can be undertaken in conjunction with an e-procurement implementation or as a separate exercise. The focus on time and quality is designed to unlock process savings.
Customer experience:
A leading helicopter manufacturer generated savings of over 300,000 Euros by improving its procurement and inventory processes - on time delivery of spares improved from 70% to 91%. In a second project a 15% improvement in efficiency of inbound supply chain processes resluted in 350,000 Euros of savings in less than 12 months. By employing 'Lean-Six Sigma' techniques across a range of processes the parent organisation generated audited savings in excess of 60,000,000 Euros.
"The techniques that Oakland applied to our problem resulted in savings thats were far beyond our expectations. Oakland helped us to look at our business in a way we had never done before" Standard Chartered Bank
