Procurement

Procurement involves strategically acquiring goods and services at optimal cost, managing supplier relationships, quality, and sustainability to strengthen organisations' value chain.

the right price, place, quality and time

This is what purchasing is all about: the availability of parts at the most favourable factors. Within the field of Purchasing, Ventura has three levels: strategic purchasing in the Strategic Technical Buying department, operational purchasing in the Logistics department and Material Planning in the Order Team. Together, they ensure the availability of parts for our production based on the just-in-time principle. They check suppliers on KPIs of delivery and quality performance. This is very important for an order-driven organisation like Ventura, where lead times are short.
