Sourcing Process Reengineering
Material is usually the largest cost in a manufacturing business, and the way it is sourced decides both cost and supply reliability. 7th Mile Shift helps manufacturers in Hosur, Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore and across India re-engineer how they select suppliers, buy and bring material in.
We redesign the sourcing process end to end: supplier base and supply mix, contracts, inbound logistics and packaging, and the routines that keep supplier performance on track. Founder K. Veerabaskar brings sourcing and supply chain experience from TVS Motor Company and from projects across several manufacturing sectors.
What we do
We analyse spend and supply risk, and decide the right mix of suppliers, single or dual sourcing, and local or distant supply for each category. Read about strategic sourcing.
Structured evaluation of suppliers and logistics partners, with contracts and service levels that are clear and measurable.
We help you decide what to outsource, define the scope, and onboard the right logistics partner.
We set delivery frequencies and lot sizes that balance freight and inventory, and design returnable packaging that protects parts and cuts packing cost.
Scorecards and review routines on quality, delivery and cost, so problems are caught early.

Frequently asked questions
It means redesigning how you choose suppliers, agree terms and bring material in, rather than only negotiating price. The aim is lower total cost and more reliable supply.

Changes are phased and tested with a few suppliers or categories first, so supply continues while the new process is introduced.
