Case studiesare important in regards to applications of RS Components and solutions,for example the case of "Cutting the MRO costs of a confectionary giant".

RS has helped a leading confectionery manufacturer achieve significant cost savings in the indirect procurement process through its Purchasing Manager™ system.

The challenge: An example of how RS has been able to help a customer take better control of its process costs is our work with a well-known confectionery manufacturer,a market leader within its category with a turnover in excess of GBP100 million.

RS found that the simplest way to remove many of the issues (and additional cost) in the process was to introduce PurchasingManager™ to the customer.

PurchasingManager™ is a web-based order management system used alongside the RS website. Buyers can create account structures across their organisation,assign spend controls,cost centres and approval limits to help manage all RS Online purchasing.

The system allows the end user,usually an engineer,to go onto the RS website,choose the product they need,order it and see when the delivery will be made. Behind the scenes a confirmation request is sent to a senior colleague who can quickly approve the cost and the order is processed.

PurchasingManager™ addressed the authorisation process and became the only authorisation required to approve an order from RS. Once an order is approved,it is sent directly to RS without procurement being involved. The confectionery customer was able to use a single monthly blanket order rather than individual POs,meaning that the only PO processing now takes place at the end of the month.

The customer now has a simplified workflow with empowered end users,which has significantly reduced processing costs,enabling all functions involved in the indirect purchasing process to focus on value added activities in their respective roles.

The entire purchasing process has been greatly speeded up,more employees are ordering from trusted suppliers (rather than using local or online purchases),which improves contract compliance,and parts are being successfully delivered when engineers want them,which means there is far less downtime.

The result is that the customer has gone from an inefficient,costly process with duplication of tasks and a lack of clarity to becoming highly efficient with real transparency throughout the purchase-to-pay process.
