The task of material group management is the company-wide grouping of categories of materials with a similar systematic of procurement. Following the THESEN systems approach, the corollary of the aim of grouping categories of materials is that the capabilities must be grouped in interdisciplinary teams. As equal system partners, suppliers also belong in these department- and company-wide teams. The early involvement of their capabilities makes savings in the development and manufacturing of products possible.

Grouping of material and capabilities

Similarly to the product- and development-oriented procurement, material group management leads to organizational and cultural changes in the areas of internal and external communication and cooperation. THESEN AG gladly accompanies your transition to new material and competence structures, which creatively resolve the apparent contradiction between innovation and cost reduction.
