  IPPC Global Project Lead - Strategic Purchasing

  IPPC is a global project on the Atlas Copco group level. It stands for "Indirect Purchasing for Product Companies", but it also includes Distribution Centers. The main goal for the IPPC project is to find synergies and ways to consolidate spending volumes within specific commodities (or categories) across Divisional and Business Area borders. By identifying these synergies and consolidations the project members can significantly reduce total cost within each commodity. My responsibility in the project is currently to be the Sourcing Lead for one of the commodities, Engineering Consultants. I am the driver for this "sub project" from start to end through the seven-step Purchasing Model. Together with smaller CFTs, Cross Functional Teams, from many sites throughout the company, we do an extensive data analysis of current situation which generates a category profile. Based on this profile together with market information and other valuable information from the CFTs, we then create a strategy for how to approach the suppliers and also how to approach the challenges we face internally. Further, I also act as the coordinator within the IPPC project for my Business Area. This task consists mainly of supporting the IPPC Project manager in monitoring progress in the different commodities within my Business Area, coordinating activities between Business Areas, and following up the outcome for each commodity per Business Area and Division.
