Based on emerging practice in procurement management, this project aimed at developing a set of proposals for enhancing the role of the procurement function in the profitability of an organization. The team proposed a strategic methodology that should be followed by the group of companies in order to turn procurement into a strategic competitive advantage. At the tactical level the current processes were identified and analyzed, followed by suggestions for productivity and efficiency improvements. Finally, proposals for how the purchasing cost of the group can be reduced were put forth.
