Case Study: 3M achieves a 75% simplified supplier landscape with Brightfield

3M - Customer Case Study

3M, the multinational conglomerate, faced a complex contingent workforce supplier ecosystem with limited visibility, decentralized management processes, and inconsistent performance measurement. Brightfield helped address these challenges using Brightfield TDX and a supplier optimization approach to create a clearer, more objective way to manage suppliers.

Brightfield defined a supplier management strategy, built a configurable automated scorecard, and established a quarterly business review process with ongoing reporting. As a result, 3M simplified its contingent workforce supplier landscape by 75% and improved business visibility and transparency, while also gaining a more consistent and objective method for evaluating suppliers.
