Analytical.
Balance.
Relationships.

 Best-in-Class Supply Chain organizations are highly analytical, commercially astute, and driven by fact-based decision making. As a demonstration of organization capability, a business must improve its ability to engage the market to ensure effective cost management, quality, total cost of ownership, balanced with strong supplier relationship management. Many commercial tools are available to enhance the organization’s ability to fully understand the cost structure of the supply base that ultimately will end up in the cost structure of the client. The ability of an organization to build cost models is a direct correlation to their ability to most effectively manage their supply costs. M+C assists clients in leveraging strong relationships with their strategic suppliers and works with clients to develop a high-performing supply base. 

Contract Management Post-Award:

(Regardless of Business Segment or Market)

• Most orgs are focused on strategic value creation from sourcing & contracting.
• Most resources are rewarded on value creation and limited attention is placed on the post-award process.
• There is 50% of spend that most orgs source but they cannot focus on post-award management.
• For those non-strategic contracts, we must address how to extract and sustain value claimed.
