Simon Jersey has a broad product offer and diverse customer base. The nature of these two key facets necessitates a strong procurement strategy" says Chris Claydon-Butler, Managing Director. "Historically the emphasis within the business has been to acquire goods to a consistent standard from "safe" sources and thus not being able to benefit from the changing global market and how best to extract the maximum value for our customers."
"The strategic aim has been to achieve best price sourcing through improved visibility of primary source utilisation, improve lead-times through pre-booked capacity and supply chain integration and reduce stock levels through the improved sourcing".
The need to have a very effective planning environment along with systems in place to ensure that there is clear visibility of all orders from all suppliers, taking into account customer required dates, any capacity restrictions, material availability and critical path issues.
