Ropella Industry Expertise
Napoleon is credited with saying, “An army travels on its stomach.” By the same token, a company marches on its procurement and supply-chain management. Skilled logistics and price negotiation will deliver the right amount of raw materials at the right time, and then relay the finished products to customers quickly and at the best cost.
Financial knowledge and negotiation skills help both company and customer pay the best price, as does the ability to synchronize supply and demand. This position often requires flexibility, speed and adaptation to changing priorities.
The ability to understand logistical technology and develop a smart infrastructure makes the company more competitive. These processes must be constantly measured and tweaked to assure the best results.
