FAQ
Every time we invest in Procurement it always promises a lot, but fails to deliver to my bottom line, why?
There can be many reasons for this:-
​
Some companies are not ready to change suppliers or practices to take the benefits on offer,
Many procurement people seek to maintain a process rather than add value
Some consultancy companies seek to maintain margins without offering real benefits, or are staffed by people with little "real world" experience.
​
Margin Improvement would not offer to help unless it felt it could make a real difference, and that is why free initial consultations are offered
What is the difference between Procurement, Supply Chain and Logistics?
A typical definition of a supply chain is "...a network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product".
​
Procurement, logistics, warehousing and other related functions often form a part of the supply chain, as they create the chain of the movement of goods from suppliers to factories to customers.
​
Procurement specifically relates to the acquisition of goods or services, and logistics to the movement of materials.
