Efficiency can be improved by:

1. Improving working capital by having better payment terms, consignment, just in time deliveries, shorten lead times etc.

2. Improved supplier performance in terms of quality, on time delivery

3. Value improvements through supplier partnerships and VA VE 

4. Using e-RFQ/RFP tools to benchmark markets
