Question

No shared view of cost prices across the categories, no view on Product Lifecycle Management for sourcing and 3 team members on maternity leave to cover.

Approach

First set-up of an automated Open Book Management, all sourcing processes mapped in a new Product Lifecycle Management workflow and an interim cover of the buying categories.

Result

We wrote the open-book process, worked as interim category buyer for the Home category, and wrote the Product Lifecycle process for Sourcing.
