PSM Cost Management Execution
Our execution support engagements typically generate a 4–10× ROI. Let our team support high-impact savings, faster milestones, and stronger supplier governance across your cross-functional team.
Managing large, complex, and cross-functional indirect categories requires more than a traditional sourcing approach—it demands deep market intelligence, structured execution, and the ability to influence stakeholders across engineering, operations, finance, and leadership.
PSM Workforce delivers exactly that.
Our team leads high-impact, cross-functional cost optimization and sourcing initiatives across categories that are often fragmented, under-managed, or embedded with longstanding incumbent suppliers. These include Facilities, Waste Management, Construction, Capital Projects, Environmental Services, MRO, and other large indirect spend areas.
A Proven Model for Sustainable Cost Reduction
We combine years of category expertise, real market data, and established supplier networks to deliver measurable value—often accelerating deliverables and savings.
Because we operate as both a consulting partner and an execution extension of your team, we help accelerate projects that typically stall due to bandwidth, alignment gaps, or lack of visibility.
