Procurement
Overview
Streamline the procurement process at every step, from initial purchase request to fulfilment
Mining procurement teams are often tasked with navigating political instability, trade restrictions, customs procedures, and transportation logistics across different jurisdictions and geographies. With various regulations and ethical standards to adhere to, compliance monitoring, due diligence and risk assessments are paramount in contract management with suppliers.
To tackle these challenges, many mining companies are turning to automation, robotics, and data analytics to enhance operational efficiency. However, this doesn’t come without its own challenges. Keeping up with evolving technologies, selecting suitable procurement systems and vendors, as well as ensuring compatibility with the company’s existing infrastructure, should all be considered carefully to gain the highest ROI.
Key Client Challenges:
- How do we negotiate better pricing and terms with our suppliers?
- How do we leverage technology such as robotics process automation (RPA) to streamline our procurement process and select suitable technology vendors?
- What are the methodologies, data analytics or forecasting tools we can use to optimize our procurement demand planning?
- How do we enhance the sustainability of our procurement process to adhere to evolving regulations?
- How can we optimize the compliance monitoring and due diligence process to avoid legal consequences?
With proactive planning, effective risk management strategies, leveraging the right technology, and continuous monitoring of market conditions, procurement professionals in the mining industry can ensure successful operations.
