Seeing the Advantages
Through the RaPP Programme we have demonstrated cost saving opportunities which will raise enterprise profitability by 25%-75%.

The RaPP Programme has been structured and developed into a modular programme which fits ideally into the Industry Forum toolkit. Industry forum Senior Engineers have been trained to deliver the programme in association with Indigo Procurement.

The programme which runs typically over 3 days identifies cost reductions from Strategic Sourcing, Innovative Buying Processes and New Technology (The Internet and Reverse Auctions). The actions and strategies identified from RaPP can be introduced directly by us or we can ensure effective implementation through coaching and mentoring your staff through each stage.
