Rowe Associates Inc. offers a host of consulting and training services for improving the procurement and materials management function.

Consulting

Purchasing Operations Review^sm

This is a complete analysis of the purchasing function focusing on cost-effectiveness, staffing, internal and external relationships and capacity for weathering change and managing growth. You will get the most in-depth analysis and incisive recommendations available.

Purchasing Performance Review^sm

Here the focus is on the use of purchasing leverage, supplier relationships and the manner in which internal clients are being served. It is narrower in scope than the Purchasing Operations Review^sm. For limited budgets or smaller firms, this tool will zero in on three key areas that are proven to yield measurable benefits.

Review of Nontraditional Goods and Services^sm

Here, we focus on the purchase of services, capital equipment and items for resale. The acquisition of commodities in this category is widely dispersed in most firms - consigned to departments who procure goods and services as an after thought, not a mission. In most cases, this is causing the firm to spend more than it should.
