Product details

Levon Automotive, a US company that supplied electronic products to the automobile industry, had sales totaling more than 2 billion US in 2005 and had 25 plants worldwide. Functional plastics were one of the main supply materials of the company. Therefore, there was a manager dedicated to this material. Juan Rivera, the Manager of this area, had a serious problem in his hands. The annual savings results of the functional plastic acquisition team were at US$300,000 below their goal and his intention of having two new projects, so that he could obtain further discounts from his suppliers was not working. The quotations received were above the spending goal. He had to find a solution to both problems or he would not reach the goal dictated by the buying corporative.
