Cross-functional product development
The steadily increasing competitive pressure increases the demands on product development. Development projects often miss their target because they either cannot guarantee adherence to deadlines or exceed the budget.
In order to do justice to this, purchasing functions must be included from day 1. Hereby development-accompanying purchasing differs significantly from classic purchasing which focuses on product group strategies and optimal procurement conditions. The focus is rather on the accompanying joint product development together with development, sales, production, and quality.
