4 Leadership & Management Transactional processes Condition of the company depends directly on attitude of management personnel. Management of transformation is in reality transformation of management system. Managers can not learn only by experience. Hard work also does not guarantee the success.

5 Production processes Purchasing Traditional glance on productivity, a specially in production circles, is based on fulfilling assumed plan and comparing the results to specifications, which separates products on good and bad.

Supplier is a part of the system and has direct influence on quality and total cost of final product or service. That s why, it s hard to ignore him in subject of improving productivity and decreasing expenses. Long-term relation with supplier and joined work on increasing level of quality, productivity and lowering the total cost, requires knowledge of continuous improvement methodology. Client needs proper tools to choose and evaluate suppliers. Client as well as a supplier should also posses knowledge allowing them to solve current problems in effective way and to prevent them from appearing in the future. We wil find potential savings in purchasing Our services: Optimization (cost and delivery date) of materials purchase process. Process of qualification and evaluation of potential suppliers.
