7 Dealership Business Challenges Need to improve profitability Fewer internal resources available to attack cost structure Time to Source, Quote and Negotiate 100+ expense categories Once categories are completed, repeat
8 Where do sustainable Cost Savings come from? Pricing & Terms Payment Strategies Process Improvements Iceberg Theory most focus on pricing-terms and ignore larger opportunities Strategic Purchasing focus vs. Tactical Negotiating Standardization of Supplies/Services (Core lists limit choices) Compliance Internal & Supplier Strategic approach yields long-term, sustainable results
9 Bottom Line Opportunity Annual Revenues $25MM $50MM $75MM $100MM Average Annual Supply Service Spend Supply & Service Spend as % of Revs. Research Average PMG Cost Savings Results Conservative Savings Estimate 12% Dealer Savings Opportunity $1.648M $2.558M $3.161M $4.394M 6.6% 5.2% 4.2% 3.8% 23% 23% 23% 23% 12% 12% 12% 12% $197,760 $306,960 $379,320 $527,280 Cost savings flow to the bottom line!

10 Cost Reductions Roadmap to Improved Profitability 2008 Performance Management Group All Rights Reserved.
11 I. Develop a 2011 Sourcing Plan Why Develop a Sourcing Plan? Creates a Roadmap for 2011 Expense Reduction Aligns staff around a common objective - plan 100+ expense categories to manage - you need a plan Benefits of a Sourcing Plan Generate meaningful cost reductions 15% to 25% Avoid contract auto renewals get ahead with a plan Focused plan will yield measurable results
12 I. How To Develop Your Sourcing Plan Generate 12 month spend report from DMS system supplier name/total spend Categorize suppliers in 100 expense categories Populate the chart with spend and supplier count, contract end dates Review and finalize your plan *Contact: for free category template
13 I. Finalize Your Roadmap
14 II. Approval Policies Mitigate Risk Why Approval Policies? Three(3) methods of commitment (P.O.s, contracts, invoices) Organizations should formalize key policies Written policies will improve controls and mitigate risk Benefits of Approval Policies Eliminates risk of unauthorized contracts Essential component of meaningful Purchasing policies Send message to team that commitment of company funds will be a controlled and limited process
15 II. How to Develop Approval Policies 1. Define by management position 2. Assign expenditure level 3. Publish to all employees Position Contracts Purchase Orders Owner Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited Invoices President Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited CFO $25,000 $25,000 $25,000 Controller $15,000 None $15,000 Director Fixed Ops None $10,000 $5,000 Service Manager None $5,000 $2,500 Parts Manager None $3,000 None
16 III. Create Supplier Competition Why Create Competition? Competition reduces your costs Fewer suppliers reduces your costs Partnerships, while valuable, need to be checked periodically Benefits Reduce costs of supplies and services Fewer suppliers reduces back office costs(checks, invoices) Suppliers get much more excited about a one year, two year opportunity with a commitment to purchase
17 III. How to Create Competitive Suppliers 1. Select an expense category 2. Develop a quote (from high usage items) 3. Use spend from spend report to identify annual spend opportunity - the sizzle 4. Contact current suppliers to extend quote invitation 5. Invite new, reputable suppliers to quote 6. Analyze results & select
18 IV. Maximize Internal Buy-In Why Develop Internal Buy-In Non compliance with Preferred Suppliers can be quite high Sourcing costs can be quite high compliance reduces costs Non-compliance can impact other category compliance Benefits Internal compliance with Preferred Suppliers can reduce category costs by 15% Category compliance will spread across the organization Reduces additional sourcing activities until next quote
19 IV. How to Maximize Buy-In 1. Implement Purchasing Policies 2. Communicate Policies to Employees get signatures on file 3. Communicate Approval policies 4. Include influencers in Sourcing Process 5. Include influencers in Selection Process 6. Include influencers in Implementation Process 7. Insist on compliance
20 V. Benchmarking Strategy Why Benchmark? Compare your results to others (price, suppliers, terms) Effective benchmarking reduces costs Process instills confidence in Management Benefits Cost reductions of up to 25% Negotiate from a position of strength with suppliers
21 V. How to Implement Benchmarking Uniform Example * Select high usage items/services * Benchmark from similar geography * Find functional matches Develop target pricing Item Our Costs Dealer # 1 Dealer # 2 Shirt $0.50 $0.39 $0.65 Pants $0.55 $0.45 $0.68 Jacket $0.75 $0.80 $0.78 Shop Towel $0.075 $0.05 $.12 Service Charges $3.00 week No Charge $2.50
22 VI. Purchasing Centralization Why Centralize Purchasing? Cost reductions of 25% (Aberdeen) 23% PMG Reduce back office costs with additional suppliers Mitigate risk with controlled process Benefits Reduced costs improved profitability Reduce supplier base of 35% or more is typical Improved focus of staff on core responsibilities
23 VI. How to Centralize Purchasing 1. Assign responsibility to senior executive 2. Hire, re-assign and train or outsource the Purchasing function 3. Develop spend report and develop roadmap 4. Develop Purchasing Policies/Approvals 5. Communicate plan and new policies to organization 6. Implement the plan 7. Measure results and report organization wide
24 VII. Sustainable Results with Strategic Purchasing Why is Sustainability Important? Want to protect pricing and results obtained Sourcing is an expensive process (done correctly/incorrectly) Sustainable results reduces activity over the long run Benefits Forecasted results will be obtained Less staff time re-sourcing categories Roadmap will generate predictable-consistent results
25 VII. How to Achieve Sustainability 1. Centralize Purchasing 2. Limit Purchasing authority to designees 3. Work the Roadmap or the plan 4. Measure and report results 5. Repeat categories every 2 years 6. Reward results
26 Cost Reduction Opportunities
27 Cost Reduction Opportunities Category Savings Generated Credit Card Processing $70,792 Credit Bureaus $34,465 Telecom $87,790 Total $193,047 $16,087 month
28 Credit Card Processing Why Focus on Credit Card Processing Can be one of the larger sources of expense Rates are a source of cost reduction Process is a source of cost reduction Benefits Cost reductions of 15% 40% can be achieved Statements can be audited for accuracy & compliance Fixed costs(other than interchange) can be achieved
