Business Introduction
ESProc Advisory & Training
With over four decades of experience in procurement, specializing in International Aviation and industrial procurement projects, we possess extensive expertise.
The dynamic nature of present industries necessitates adeptness in managing evolving complexities with suppliers. This involves not only preventing shortages but also effectively navigating logistical, contractual, and design change challenges.
ESPROC Advisory and Training stands out through its continuous exploration of the technical attributes of products and their translation into the enhanced value and cost-saving potential for businesses.
Our primary offerings include Procurement Advice, Interim Procurement Support, and Training services.
Procurement Advice
Due to historical rapid growth, many companies prioritized their sales departments, while procurement focused primarily on meeting production demands.
This situation, compounded by events like COVID-19, often leads to siloed specializations and disjointed processes. A streamlined procurement process, driven by motivated buyers, plays a crucial role in mitigating a company’s risk exposure.
Each dollar/euro saved directly contributes to net profit, making procurement a valuable investment that often pays for itself within the same fiscal year.
Throughout my career, I’ve taken pleasure in executing company procurement strategies and enhancing processes for greater efficiency. This includes:
1. assessing the maturity of the procurement department;
2. implementing process improvements;
3. standardization;
4. translating technical specifications into tender setups;
5. developing product portfolios and strategies;
6. brainstorming solutions for technical challenges;
7. offering legal support, providing situational procurement advice;
8. establishing claim processes;
9. facilitating procurement interactions, and;
10. advising on practical supply relationship management (SRM).
