His career includes 9.5 years at Kearney, most recently as Country Manager Switzerland, and 7.5 years as Chief Procurement Officer at HUBER+SUHNER.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since 2015, he has been a Partner in the DACH region and Managing Director Switzerland at Kloepfel Consulting. His focus: future-proofing procurement organizations, strengthening implementation competence, and successfully leading international projects to optimize procurement costs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Structured Tenders \u2013 The Underestimated Lever<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many medium-sized companies still procure larger needs without systematic tenders \u2013 often due to time pressure or historical habit. Price lists are updated or selective offers are obtained instead. The problem:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Undiscovered potential<\/strong> \u2013 multi-year savings remain untapped<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of market transparency<\/strong> \u2013 price and supplier structures are often unknown<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased price risks<\/strong> \u2013 familiar suppliers have an easy hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Professional sourcing follows a clear, structured process \u2013 from demand analysis to tendering to final supplier selection and implementation. This is exactly where our practical training comes in: we enable procurement professionals to plan RFx processes precisely, execute efficiently, and leverage them strategically.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Understanding and Using RFx Processes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The training covers all steps of the professional <strong>Source-to-Contract<\/strong> process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Baselining<\/strong> \u2013 consolidate suppliers, demands, quantities, prices, and item profiles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Procurement market research<\/strong> \u2013 identify benchmark suppliers, create long\/short lists<\/li>\n<li><strong>RFI (Request for Information)<\/strong> \u2013 gather supplier profiles and pre-qualify them<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supplier visits<\/strong> \u2013 build trust, verify technical feasibility<\/li>\n<li><strong>RFQ (Request for Quotation)<\/strong> \u2013 collect structured and comparable offers<\/li>\n<li><strong>RFP (Request for Proposal)<\/strong> \u2013 issue detailed tenders for complex services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Participants learn to create lean but complete tender packages \u2013 including technical specifications, NDA clauses, evaluation methods, and submission formats.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practical Example 1: Beer Bottle Tender<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In a current project, we tendered beer bottles for leading beverage manufacturers. Sounds simple \u2013 but it wasn\u2019t. Different bottle types, transport costs, and volatile raw material prices made precise comparability essential.<\/p>\n<p>Together with procurement, we created a structured RFQ package with defined specifications and a clear evaluation matrix. Result: much greater transparency, increased supplier competition, and optimized purchasing prices.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practical Example 2: Welded Assemblies in India<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We are currently sourcing welded assemblies in India \u2013 a project with specific challenges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Supplier identification<\/strong> \u2013 online research alone often fails; websites don\u2019t reflect reality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On-site presence<\/strong> \u2013 personal visits motivate suppliers to submit binding offers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality management<\/strong> \u2013 technical performance varies greatly, often below Western standards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legal framework<\/strong> \u2013 NDA clauses, local laws, and cultural differences require tact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project timelines<\/strong> \u2013 the process takes longer than many clients expect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In such projects, standard methods are limited. Targeted stakeholder management, intensive supplier qualification, and cultural adaptation of RFx processes are critical.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More Confidence in Complex Sourcing Initiatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The training teaches not only methods but also <strong>strategic project management<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Engage stakeholders early \u2013 from departments to management<\/li>\n<li>Prioritize projects \u2013 balance potential savings and implementation costs<\/li>\n<li>Realistically assess risks in international procurement markets<\/li>\n<li>Ensure smooth transitions \u2013 from award to supplier integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Training at a Glance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\ud83d\udccc Master the entire RFx and sourcing process<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccc Develop your own tender packages (RFQ)<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccc Ensure comparability of offers<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccc Build transparent evaluation and decision-making foundations<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccc Case studies, tools &amp; templates for direct application<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u2705 Greater transparency in the supplier market<br \/>\n\u2705 Stronger negotiating position through comparability<br \/>\n\u2705 More efficient decision-making processes<br \/>\n\u2705 Reduced risks in international projects<br \/>\n\u2705 Structured tenders instead of opportunistic ad-hoc requests<\/p>\n<p>This practical training transforms procurement professionals into <strong>active creators of competitive advantage<\/strong> \u2013 not just order processors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11535\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11535\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11535 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kloepfel-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/S.Hofstetter_Kloepfel-Consulting_220603.0241.ret3_-300x200-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kloepfel-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/S.Hofstetter_Kloepfel-Consulting_220603.0241.ret3_-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kloepfel-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/S.Hofstetter_Kloepfel-Consulting_220603.0241.ret3_-300x200-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Stephan Hofstetter, Managing Director, Kloepfel Switzerland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Dr. Stephan Hofstetter, Your Learning Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d46500;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ee7f00;border-color:#ffffcc;color:#ffffff;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p>Make your procurement fit for the future.\u00a0 Contact us for a tailored training offer \u2013 professional, results-oriented, and customized for your team.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>More information about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kloepfel-consulting.com\/leistungen\/academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>KLOEPFEL Academy<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kloepfel-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1_Pager-Academy-CH-06-Ausschreibungen-RFxProzess.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RFx Module<\/strong>:<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Telefon: +41 41 248 08 88<br \/>\nMobil: +41 79 829 34 77<br \/>\nE-Mail:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:s.hofstetter@kloepfel-consulting.com\">s.hofstetter@kloepfel-consulting.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Personal Learning Coach: Dr. Stephan Hofstetter Dr. Stephan Hofstetter has over 25 years of experience in strategy and procurement consulting.
