Solution

Effectiveness – Reducing the total cost of ownership of external spend using
procurement techniques (such as category management, strategic sourcing and supplier
management).

Efficiency – Reducing costs from within the procurement function and procurement
processes (for example, through process reengineering, deploy technology and
automation).

The process and strategy behind this model has been developed for many customer
projects and implemented successfully for such customers as Thales, this model was
adjusted and improved for the ACT availability model to enable Astute to Deliver on time
