Effective methodology

When we analyze any client, OTTS utilizes five independent tests to find out the savings. We also guarantee that the savings outcome will be substantial. To put it concisely, we always meet our set targets. In our many years of operation, we have always delivered on what we had promised.

 Opportunity assessment: This process is started by the client team. They gather the spent data and interview the cross-functional personnel. Existing skills are also evaluated so that the benefits can be achieved. This kind of intelligence gathering helps not only OTTS but also our customers for the appraisal, managing and prioritizing of savings.

 Supplier research: This is done by our team. They thoroughly research the marketplace to identify suppliers which are in harmony with the specific requirements of our customers. This step permits bespoke benchmarking, increased negotiation and differentiation results by the introduction of new suppliers and reengage the current ones.

 Development of profiles: The RFI and RFQ profiles are developed by clients who ask for specific information required for the cross-functional client teams. This will enable us (and the client) to make data-centric decisions on the capabilities of a supplier to transform it into a viable source of goods in the longer term.

 Supplier presentation: Both stakeholders and the client executives join to proclaim the project to top executives of potential suppliers, and get engaged in friendly competition.

 Analysis of the profiles: Clients evaluate the completed profiles to filter the potential supplier list and educate themselves about the marketplace.

 Site visits: Quality is another important factor other than price. Customers visit the manufacturing centers of selected existing and new suppliers and engage in exhaustive discussions to verify the qualifying capabilities and build relationships to increase their knowledge of the market.

 Preparing for negotiation: Client teams, over multiple weeks of workshops and training, make preparations for negotiations. Market intelligence gathered from the profile of suppliers and visits to various sites are collated to be discussed in the course of negotiations.

 Negotiations: Executives of the client meet with the top management of the supplier to negotiate and discover the ability of each supplier to meet the goals of the team. The issues under negotiations are then documented in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

 Selection of suppliers: Client executives select the suppliers which provide the best overall value and lowest cost for services or goods.
