How We Work

THE MPKI APPROACH

You want to know if a global sourcing strategy for packaging procurement is worth your company’s time and effort ? The short answer is yes, but only if you come at it the right way. Your global sourcing solution needs to align with your business strategy if its going to work. It also needs to be realistic.

Companies that succeed at global sourcing do three things well:

1. They set realistic financial goals;

2. They manage risks to strengthen those goals, and

3. They identify and navigate the professional, cultural and strategic obstacles in their way.

With a solid plan and a clear vision of the task, your company can build and execute a successful global sourcing strategy. To do it, you need the right team with the right skills and a strong drive for results to provide a real positive impact on your bottom line.

From Strategy through to implementation, MPK Packaging has the experience, track record, and global reach through our global network of consultants, to help you realize the potential of global sourcing, and grow your business.

By collaborating with us, you can revitalize your global sourcing approach and grow your bottom line.

DONT GO IT ALONE

• According to our own recent survey, 70% of businesses said their global sourcing strategy met or exceeded their expectations.

• The 30% who didn’t, said they underestimated the skills and resources they’d need, or they didn’t have a capability outsourcing plan in place to support their global sourcing strategy.

• Each of our solutions are built on five principles. These principles underpin our collaborative approach with clients - by drawing from our combined skills and experience we guide and support you on your journey.

Risk Management

“Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.”

— George S. Patton

Risk management is a key element of every global sourcing strategy

The rapid globalization of supply chains has made them vulnerable to disruptions such as economic unrest, trade disputes, demand fluctuations, and/or natural or man-made disasters, with potentially damaging long and short-term impacts on business

Businesses need resilient global supplier networks and supply chains, to minimize the negative impacts of disruptions on revenues, costs, and customers. Effective risk management is the key to building effective global supply chains.

MPKs experts help clients proactively assess, prioritize, mitigate, and manage risk to improve business results and ensure supply network continuity.

We use a holistic five-step approach to build a custom risk management solution for your business:

• Step 1 - Map supply networks, identify risks and potential impact.

• Step 2 - Develop an organizational risk management strategy.

• Step 3 - Create outcome-based contingency plans to manage risk.

• Step 4 - Implement risk mitigation plans, as needed.

• Step 5 - Measure impact of risk mitigation and adapt strategy.

You can focus on growing your business, secure in the knowledge that you’ve got the strategy and capability to manage disruption when it happens.
