Rolls-Royce had a successful year itself during 2019. Announced as the overall winners of the CIPS Supply Management Awards 2019, direct civil aerospace procurement savings of £153.2mn (US$195.8mn) were achieved. “Procurement is very much a people and knowledge-based organisation,” said Gordon Tytler, Director of Procurement at Rolls-Royce. “The tools allow us to operate more efficiently, effectively and to enable us to link with our suppliers. But, the key differentiator for successful procurement is its people.”
