Consulting Services

Strategic sourcing and vendor management are critical functions for any business. From services to manufacturing, companies rely more and more on vendors to provide direct materials and non-core products and services which creates risk to the business through reliance on third party organizations. Chief Procurement Officers have cited supply chain agility and risk mitigation as the top two goals for CPO’s in any organization.

This is why leading class strategic sourcing and vendor management are critical to the success of an organization through ensuring the correct vendors with the required qualifications are selected and risk mitigation strategies are implemented.

Link–Sage is able to work with your staff, internal stakeholders and external suppliers to deliver results on a specific sourcing project resulting in the best solution. At the same time, we will share the knowledge and methodology with your organization as part of internal development.

Social Responsibility

Social responsibility and sustainability is being taken under stronger consideration by organizations but many are at a loss on how to implement true sustainability programs balanced with fiscal responsibility to shareholders. Leveraging ISO principles, Link – Sage will develop a sustainability program with your organization to ensure sourcing decisions take social responsibility into account. This is augmented with Total Quality Management practices to build sustainability into the organization’s operations and culture. 

Link-Sage has a comprehensive one-day training program in strategic sourcing to help organization sourcing departments grow from transactional activities to be more aligned in supporting corporate objectives.

Testimonials

"Mark was one of my leaders. We faced an Operation that was too cost heavy, couldn’t ship on time and was costing the company market share. Mark took ownership over the challenges we faced in our supply chain. He led efforts to re-organize and structure our vendors and supply chain. He created new sourcing models and led efforts with Design Engineering to apply ‘design for sourcing’ approaches resulting in substantial material cost reductions. Mark applied innovative approaches from 3PL, Lean Delivery approaches and outsourcing to lower cost providers both in North America and Far East. This helped us achieve a very quick turn-around to profitability. Mark also provided me a versatility to manage multiple functions and always displayed a strong team-player character."
