Our Project Portfolio
Food Industry | Waste Management Service Procurement
Food Production
Two Production Facilities – Integrated Waste Management Project
Business Context
Waste management services across two separate production facilities presented significant opportunities for improvement in both cost and service levels due to fragmented processes, limited transparency, and lack of operational control. The management of valuable waste streams was not sufficiently structured, and supplier performance could not be monitored in a measurable way.
Key Challenge
Differences in waste streams between facilities, ineffective management of recyclable and valuable waste, and operational and technological limitations of existing service providers created pressure on both costs and service quality.
SIRIUS Approach
SIRIUS began the project with a detailed analysis of existing waste types, volumes, and operational processes across both facilities. Within this framework:
Waste flows and handling processes were redesigned for valuable and recyclable materials
Contacts were established with innovative and alternative waste management suppliers
Technology-supported monitoring and reporting solutions were evaluated and implemented
Service levels and performance metrics were clearly defined
Concrete Results
Measurable and sustainable improvements in waste management costs
Valuable waste redirected to appropriate recycling processes
Increased service levels and reduced operational disruptions
Greater transparency and control through technology-supported monitoring
Strategic Impact
As a result of the project, waste management evolved from being a mandatory service area into a strategic function contributing to cost optimization, sustainability, and operational excellence.
Construction Industry | Supply Chain Localization Project
Construction Materials Production
Post-COVID Supply Chain Resilience and Localization Initiative
Business Context
Global supply disruptions, extended lead times, and unpredictable cost increases during the COVID-19 period severely challenged the company’s production continuity and financial performance. High dependence on imported inputs made supply chain risks more visible and harder to manage.
Key Challenge
A supplier base that was limited in number and largely foreign-dependent posed significant risks in terms of supply security, cost stability, and operational flexibility. Alternative supplier options had not been sufficiently evaluated, and risk management lacked a systematic framework.
SIRIUS Approach
SIRIUS began the project with a risk-based supply chain analysis for critical materials and components. Within this scope:
High-risk and strategic inputs were identified
Local supplier markets were analyzed and alternatives evaluated
A supplier diversification strategy was developed
Structured negotiation processes were conducted with criteria for cost, quality, and delivery performance
Frameworks and indicators for continuous risk monitoring were established
Concrete Results
Significant reduction in dependence on imported supplies
Sustainable and competitive collaborations with local suppliers
Improved lead times and enhanced supply security
Measurable reduction in total procurement costs
Risks became more predictable and manageable
Strategic Impact
As a result of the project, the company’s supply chain became more resilient, flexible, and controlled. The localization approach evolved from a crisis response measure into a strategic decision supporting long-term competitive advantage.
Automotive Industry | New Facility Setup – International Procurement
Automotive Production
Machine and Equipment Procurement Project for Capacity Expansion
Business Context
In response to increasing market demand, the company decided to expand capacity and planned to procure critical machinery and equipment for the new production facility largely from overseas. Ensuring timely commissioning of the project, protecting the investment budget, and meeting quality standards were top priorities for senior management.
Key Challenge
Long lead times, foreign currency-based costs, the complexity of logistics and customs processes, and a limited number of qualified supplier alternatives posed significant risks to the project timeline and budget. At the same time, contracts, quality, and technical compliance had to be managed simultaneously across suppliers in different countries.
SIRIUS Approach
SIRIUS began the project by developing an integrated procurement strategy that prioritized machinery and equipment based on criticality, lead time, and budget impact. Within this framework:
Global supplier markets were analyzed and alternatives evaluated
Lead time, technical capability, and total cost of ownership were established as key criteria
A holistic risk management plan covering logistics, customs, and currency fluctuations was developed
Contracting, payment, and commissioning processes were aligned with the project schedule
Progress and performance tracking were implemented for critical milestones
Concrete Results
Timely commissioning of the new facility according to plan
Budget control maintained for machinery and equipment procurement
Risks minimized in delivery and installation processes
Sustainable and transparent collaborations established with global suppliers
High visibility in project management and procurement coordination
Strategic Impact
As a result of the project, the company successfully implemented capacity expansion on time and in a controlled manner, capitalizing on market growth opportunities. Structuring international procurement processes created a repeatable model for future investment and expansion projects.
Global Company | Contract Management Transformation Project
Multinational Organization
Standardization and Digitalization of Contract Management Processes
Business Context
Operating on a global scale, the company faced operational inefficiencies, lack of visibility, and challenges in risk management due to fragmented contract processes across different countries and functions. The inability to manage the end-to-end contract lifecycle slowed commercial, legal, and financial decision-making.
Key Challenge
Contracts were managed through different systems and manual methods, leading to extended approval times, missed critical dates, and coordination issues among stakeholders. The absence of a shared process and common language between legal, sales, finance, and procurement teams further increased operational disruptions.
SIRIUS Approach
SIRIUS started the project by conducting a comprehensive end-to-end analysis of existing contract management processes and stakeholder roles. Within this scope:
Bottlenecks and risk areas in existing processes were identified
Legal, sales, finance, and all relevant stakeholders were brought together around a unified working model
Standard processes covering the entire contract lifecycle were defined
Appropriate contract management software was selected and implemented for technology adoption
User training and transition support were provided
Concrete Results
Significant acceleration and simplification of contract processes
Systematic tracking of critical dates, obligations, and risks
Stronger coordination and transparency among stakeholders
Reduced legal and commercial risks
A sustainable and scalable structure enabled by digital infrastructure
Strategic Impact
As a result of the project, contract management evolved from a reactive and fragmented function into a strategic capability that supports business units, anticipates risks, and contributes to informed decision-making.
