Centralizing class C procurement for this tire industry leader. Significant rationalization of the supplier base, leading to a reduction in administrative costs.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is an American tire manufacturer founded in 1898, one of the largest in the world. The company designs, manufactures and distributes tires for passenger cars, trucks, agricultural and construction equipment, and aircraft, under brands including Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly and Fulda, through a network of dozens of factories and hundreds of service centers.
An industrial manufacturer of this scale generates a massive volume of class C purchasing across its production sites and distribution network: non-strategic raw materials and consumables, equipment spare parts, industrial maintenance services, personal protective equipment, and supplies for its automotive service centers and spare parts logistics. The sheer number of factories and service centers worldwide makes centralizing this non-strategic spend particularly challenging. Our compliance stress test measures the legal exposure this creates.
