Managing Supply Chain Risk

An increasingly inflationary environment and a supply/demand imbalance in the metals market meant significant operational and supply chain risk for a Fortune 100 industrial manufacturer. Through a comprehensive value chain analysis of the metals industry and an assessment of the company’s supply chain and financial risk, Censeo devised a strategy to minimize supply disruption and manage financial exposure.

Unlocking Value through Strategic Sourcing

With over $400 billion in purchasing spend, the federal government has a significant opportunity to leverage strategic sourcing to reduce total costs and improve quality of services provided to taxpayers and internal customers. Censeo has taken a leadership role in facilitating some of the largest and most ambitious federal sourcing initiatives, advising our government customers on all aspects of strategic sourcing—from sourcing process design/implementation to sourcing program governance and workforce development.

With every strategic sourcing engagement, Censeo emphasizes the key value drivers (beyond just price) that contribute to enhanced quality and customer service and reduce total cost of ownership. To date, Censeo has helped more than a dozen federal agencies launch cutting-edge strategic sourcing programs that are saving the government – and ultimately taxpayers – millions of dollars.

Collaborating with Industry to Maximize Value

As part of a strategic initiative to improve quality and reduce costs related to the use and purchase of wireless handheld devices, Censeo conducted a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. cellular industry to identify changing competitive dynamics, trends, pricing models, and cost drivers. We used this analysis to facilitate a dialogue between the customer and key industry players, leading to redefined relationships that focus on the key levers of value such as demand and price optimization, and performance management.

Modeling Key Value Drivers to Support Cost and Quality Management

A large customer organization charged with managing thousands of physical facilities across the country faced numerous issues related to the management and installation of roofs, leading to roof failures. Censeo conducted a detailed analysis to understand the most common drivers of premature failure and their impact on total cost. Our team then developed a comprehensive financial model to identify how up-front investments could significantly reduce long-term costs and substantially improve quality. Our fact-based model was instrumental in convincing the organization to take a longer-term perspective regarding the value of up-front investments and preventive maintenance in this key area of facilities management.
