Arish Consultancy was established by John Matthews to provide clients with high quality consultancy and interim management services covering all aspects of purchasing and supplier management.
Typically commercial organisations spend 30% (services sector) to 70% (manufacturing sector) of their total annual revenues with external providers of goods and services. The management of  3rd party suppliers should therefore be a major area of management focus in most businsseses.
Put simply if you invest management time and effort into planning and managing your suppliers and supply bases well you will enjoy, better pricing, better quality, shorter leadtimes and greater access to the innovation capability of suppliers, than your competitors.  Alternatively if you manage suppliers and supply bases ineffectively or inconsistently you will be / could be putting your organisation at a competitive disadvantage.
But what does “good” purchasing and supplier management look like, and how does your organisation compare against “good” ?
Maybe you have good capability to manage direct material costs but far less expertise and resource to manage other areas ? Or maybe the need for more effective purchasing has never been looked at by your organisation ? Or maybe you just don’t know how your purchasing effort compares to good practice ?
However you answered the questions above Arish Consulting can provide seasoned, expert, purchasing professionals to help you deliver exactly what your business needs to get the most out of its, probably large, purchase spend.
