A centralised buying department of global proportions
Rio Tinto Procurement is the internal purchasing arm for all Rio Tinto Group business units. From offices in Brisbane and Perth (Australia), Los Angeles and Salt Lake City (USA) and Johannesburg (South Africa), Rio Tinto Procurement manages the entire 'buying function' for business units. By applying best practice processes and tools to functions such as strategic sourcing, purchasing automation and supply chain management, Rio Tinto Procurement aims to deliver added value and competitive advantage for its customers.
Value is achieved by leveraging economies of both scale and skill through people, processes and technology. Rio Tinto Procurement has adopted the latest e-procurement and sourcing techniques including reverse auctions, electronic RFx and transaction automation (via the Quadrem marketplace) and is recognised as a centre of excellence for procurement activities.
