Sourcing:

“Sourcing is the process of establishing a partnership to increase production capacity, raise quality and reduce risk with a vendor, who in cooperation with the customer manages a process, which has previously been provided in-house” – KRING, 2006

KRING Sourcing Consultancy provides consultancy services on all aspects of an organization's sourcing initiative. No matter what size your company is, KRING will work actively with your key stakeholders to guide them smoothly through all phases of the sourcing lifecycle.

Below are a few examples of how KRING Sourcing Consultancy can add value to the different phases of your sourcing initiative:

Strategy to Planning Phase:

KRING Sourcing Consultancy has the experience to help you identify and plan your sourcing strategy. This involves gathering all necessary information from the key stakeholders in order to draw up the sourcing road map that will take you from strategy to implementation using a structured planning process.

Implementation Phase:

To ensure that sourcing is integrated in the day to day business, your organization has to prepare hard internally to implement the plans that will change the present day to day business to meet the new demands of working with sourcing. KRING Sourcing Consultancy has proven sourcing models and experience to ensure that the implementation of the sourcing strategy is a success.

Sourcing Operations Phase:

Post implementation, KRING Sourcing Consultancy will work with your project managers and team leaders to ensure that the infrastructure, people and projects required to generate business value out of the sourcing operations are meeting expectations. KRING Sourcing Consultancy will continuously identify and suggest improvements to the day to day working operations to help maximize your business benefits achieved through sourcing.

Sourcing “Hotel” and “Wellness”:

On projects where you need a temporary ramp-up of resources, KRING Global Sourcing can be used as a “hotel” providing development facilities, processes and procedures, development tools, and a pool of skilled technical specialists and project managers that can be used to deter a potential this crisis. This “hotel” can be quickly integrated into your organization so that key stakeholders can implement initiatives to overcome any obstacles.

For projects in trouble, KRING Sourcing consultants work hands on with your organization's project managers and team leaders to help them develop the necessary skills to turn troubled projects around.
