We provide Supply Chain and Purchasing Consultancy services in a way that provides measurable value-added and cost-reducing benefits.

Supply chain process effects planning, budget and cash flow and purchasing and the delivery of the manufactured product to the final consumer. For this reason, it directs all processes and profitability of companies.
While defining and implementing supply chain operations, it is necessary to simplify the processes, that is, to plan the operations together with lean production techniques. This type of planning provides companies with significant measurable benefits.

Providing sustainable supply by making risk analyzes on the basis of materials and suppliers purchased during the purchasing processes provides a great advantage for companies in terms of competition with rival companies, customer acquisition and customer satisfaction. For this reason, operational risks in supply processes should be determined exactly and supply chain action plans should be created accordingly. At this point, one of the most important processes is the purchase agreements made with suppliers for both input and service purchases. Purchasing contracts should be prepared in favor of the companies, taking into account the risks of purchased products and services.
