Operations Management

The globalization of customers, suppliers, and competitors has dramatically increased the rate of change in markets, products, services, and technologies. The ability to remain competitive in this environment demands greater strategic alignment and efficiencies across business functions, especially within the operations of an organization. Companies must continuously decrease product and service lifecycles, flawlessly integrate people, resources and information, and relentlessly cut costs, while providing an increasingly wide array of high-quality, customer-focused products and services.

rganizations are acknowledging that operations management must be part of the competitive edge that strengthens their position in the marketplace. Operations management focuses on wisely balancing the people, processes, and supporting resources to produce and distribute products and services. The effective execution of the activities related to operations management—strategy, quality, supply chain, strategic sourcing, process optimization, and planning and execution—is critical to meeting market and customer demands, decreasing costs, and maintaining competitive advantage.

Strategic Sourcing

As customers’ demands for quality, delivery, and speed increase, so does the importance of an information-driven, effective, and integrated supply chain to satisfy these demands. Industry experts estimate supply chain costs to be nearly 70 percent of a company’s operating budget, placing greater focus on effectively managing each component of the supply chain. Strategic sourcing—a disciplined, systematic process for selecting suppliers and partners—is a key component in mitigating supply risks and lowering costs to create a more competitive operation. Over the years, Tectura AES has partnered with our clients to implement tailored sourcing strategies that minimize costs and build enlightened supplier-customer relationships offering the best quality and customer service.

Our proven methodology focuses on:

• A deep understanding of the client’s needs, supplier’s economics, and market trends
• Total cost; fact-based negotiations and consolidation of purchasing power
• Realignment of processes and information flow
• Organization capabilities
• Effective contract management
• Appropriate knowledge transfer
