“The Anklesaria team continues to demonstrate how additional value can be found using their tools and processes on an individual contract or at an overall category level. I have experienced their ability to handle every type of project from basic industry cost models to complex TCO models to contract value optimizations at two major companies in the Oil & Gas industry. We found their teacher/coach approach essential in obtaining internal buy-in and making their tools and processes part of our DNA.”

“We recently sought the advice of an expert to help us in our total value improvement initiatives. Through our industry contacts, we became aware of Jimmy Anklesaria’s book, Supply Chain Cost Management, and engaged him in an interactive Aim & Drive® lecture and workshop with our teams. We immediately recognized the potential of employing this process, and we were excited about the opportunities presented. We believe that the structured and collaborative system for managing costs with suppliers and customers can provide the framework to create benchmarking practices and optimize the hidden value in the supply chain. The Aim & Drive® process can serve as a reliable method for maintaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and we look forward to realizing the results of these important initiatives.”
