Strategic Sourcing: Procurement Can Be an Operational Lever, Not Just Cost Cutting | Watch the Video

Difficult suppliers, costs that rise without warning, a single misstep in the supply chain that blocks production. If these scenarios sound familiar to you, the problem isn’t bad luck: it’s procurement still set up to react, not to anticipate.

In a real case recounted in the Digital Talk, a Strategic Sourcing plan of just 90 days generated 4.3 million euros in net EBIT, acting on high-risk categories and critical suppliers. This is not an isolated case: it is the result of a repeatable method, explained step by step by Marco Brandalesi, Principal Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Operational Excellence at Bonfiglioli Consulting.

• Transform every euro into a leverage of margin by using the Total Cost of Ownership to decide not only on the price but also on risk and continuity.
• In just a few minutes, identify which providers are exposing you to real risk, with the Portfolio Matrix that segments categories and priorities.
• Choosing the right strategy for each supplier: dual sourcing, nearshoring or developing suppliers, without trial and error.
• Building procurement driven by concrete KPIs — Saving, On-Time-Delivery, Vendor Rating — not by intuition.
