Client Testimonials

"I have used the Anklesaria Cost Roadmap repeatedly over the last ten years with three organizations, to great effect each time. We have been able to take millions of dollars out of supply chain costs through knowing just how much there is that can be avoided, either by identifying and jointly removing those costs that are not valid for us, or through helping suppliers take down their own cost base. The AIM&DRIVEŽ process is a great way to get a structured start, running the process in parallel with multiple suppliers."

Neil A. Deverill
V.P. Procurement
Anglo American Corporation (formerly at Philips and Electrolux)

"We have been successfully applying Anklesaria's "should cost" methodology with several of our suppliers during our current new contract negotiations and my team has simply been pumped-up with the insight, information and success thus far. With your great help, we have taught some of my people "how to fish" and seeing them energized by this work is so gratifying to me. Thanks again for working with us."

"I have been personally involved with Anklesaria's AIM&DRIVEŽ process over the past several years with two large employers. The process really works..! I have yet to find any other methodology that provides a comparable return-on-investment. Jimmy and his team are true professionals, and they deliver incredible results each and every time."

Steve Kesinger

"I cannot believe that my teams and I have been using AIM&DRIVEŽ techniques since the very early 1990's! This is surely testimony to the value, durability and relevance of AIM&DRIVEŽ as a valuable way to collaboratively managing cost through the supply chain. Managing cost is always a sensitive issue with suppliers. However, the AIM&DRIVEŽ process has continually proven its value by getting past the emotions and getting to real cost management solutions that benefit both parties."

John Proverbs
Senior Director, Supply Chain
KLA-Tencor (formerly of IBM and Hewlett-Packard)

"We thought we were good negotiators until the [Anklesaria] team showed us how much money we were leaving on the table. Their structured approach to gathering and using market intelligence, developing detailed cost models and briefing our negotiation teams has resulted in savings much beyond our expectations."

Jim Jones
Former Business Process Manager

"SCM and the AIM&DRIVEŽ process helped to open the eyes of procurement professionals and generated value add and breakthrough ideas, which we need to improve the bottom line."
