Procurement Transformation

The supply chain has become one of the key assets of modern companies. Hyper-competition, globalization and the rapid commoditization of products has made global sourcing a basic requirement to compete in the marketplace today. Many companies today are experiencing a "capability gap" between what they need to do in the global marketplace versus the capability they have within their organization. Eliminating this gap requires the right supply chain structure and the right resources. Our consultants have extensive experience in this area, including:

• Organizational design.
• Identifying the required skill sets.
• Developing job descriptions.
• Establishing performance objectives.
• Implementing performance metrics.
• Assisting in candidate interviews and candidate selection.
• On-boarding and training of new team members.

At Northern Star Consulting, we assist clients in the transformation of their supply chain organizations to meet this challenge. From evaluating and selecting the right organization structure to building the right team, our consultants have years of hands-on experience in building organizational expertise. We utilize proven tools, processes and practices to ensure the development of a strong, lasting, high quality global supply chain organization that provides our clients with a global competitive advantage.
