Bain works closely with your team to identify and realize savings across all spend categories and procurement levers. Along the journey, we build your organizational capabilities to sustain procurement gains over the long term.

An Ambitious Supply Chain Strategy Takes AircraftCo to New Heights

A global aircraft manufacturer had secured new production contracts, but systemic issues throughout its supply chain threatened to keep it from meeting its new (or even current) customer orders. Bain suggested a new organization structure, category management approach, and contracting strategy, which helped the company improve its strategic decision making, reduce the number of suppliers, increase the number of long-term vendor contracts, and reduce buying-unit headcount. These actions trimmed more than 7% off its overall procurement costs. Equally important, the company was well-positioned to meet production demands.
