Back to Success Stories
Background
Across Europe, Boeing and its subsidiaries faced increased contingent worker costs with inflated margins, non-compliant practices and process inefficiencies.
The client had no ability to report on contingent worker spend with suppliers negotiating varied margins across the various entities due to contracts being held at country level.
Boeing required a model that reduced costs, while remaining competitive and compliant at all times. They needed full visibility of contingent workforce spend by country/business unit and a central supply chain management programme with a streamlined recruitment process.
Our Solution
In 2018, CXC implemented a Managed Service programme (MSP) for Boeing and its subsidiaries in Germany, Poland and Sweden. In partnership with them, we used Beeline as the vendor management system (VMS) to manage the supply chain and contingent workforce activities.
In 2019, we added direct sourcing in Poland, where we hired around 130 Global Navigation Analysts. This solution included the full recruitment and candidate assessment centre lifecycle.
In 2020, CXC implemented five additional international subsidiaries (Sweden, Germany, Netherlands. Switzerland and Poland), as well as Boeing’s operations in the UK, to the MSP portfolio. Additionally, we further expanded the initial program with the management of statement of work contractors and direct sourcing across all subsidiaries.
In 2022, we were then able to implement an MSP solution in Boeing India – the first MSP this Boeing division had ever had. With it, we brought process efficiencies, enhanced technology and supply chain management under the Beeline VMS.
Results
CXC was able to deliver a successful procure to pay MSP service model across eight international locations, with over 800 contractors under management. This solution included recruitment services across several countries throughout the EMEA region. As part of our service we manage a large population of active contractors both directly and through third-party providers.
