#8 DigiPodcast: Size matters - Pooling in Supply Chain Management

Let’s be honest: who can resist this “pay one – take two”
temptation in the supermarket? Offering bundled products is
effective not only for the consumer, but also on the organizational
level. We at Siemens bundle a big portion of our purchasing volume
globally, which is beneficial for many units. But how can we ensure
the flexibility and smooth management of such a big and complex
process? In this episode Thomas Holzner talks to Robert Suchy, the
Head of Pooling Categories at Siemens, about the challenges of
pooling processes, how they are organized and managed at Siemens.
Robert is convinced: the whole is more than just the sum of its
parts – or in his words: ‘Size really matters’. And that’s exactly
what pooling is about! Tune in to learn more about the pooling
processes in Supply Chain Management.
