BECOME A HUMANITARIAN

Dans des organisations en constante évolution, où les structures doivent concilier réactivité, transparence et optimisation des ressources, la fonction achat devient un levier stratégique. Après plusieurs années d’expérience dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement humanitaire, j’ai constaté que de nombreux défis — comme la lourdeur des procédures, la redondance des appels d’offres ou l’inadéquation entre besoins programmatiques et approvisionnement — pourraient être évités avec une meilleure structuration de la fonction achat. C’est pourquoi j’ai choisi de mettre en lumière une approche souvent sous-utilisée dans notre secteur : le category management. Cette méthode consiste à regrouper les achats par familles homogènes de produits ou services afin d’adopter une stratégie adaptée à chaque catégorie, simplifier les processus, renforcer la qualité et gagner en efficacité.
