Enerkem boosts their procurement process with Lean Agile Procurement for the EcoPlanta project

Learn how Enerkem, an innovative leader of the clean tech, sourced a strategic engineering partner in less than 3 months for deploying their technology at the heart of EcoPlanta, which will produce biomethanol and circular methanol from non-recyclable waste.

Enerkem, a clean technology company headquartered in Montreal, is the global pioneer in the production of renewable methanol and ethanol from solid waste.

Their agile and innovative approach reflects also in their ways of working.

Faced with a critical three-month deadline to select a strategic partner for the design of their new European plant, EcoPlanta, Enerkem adopted an innovative approach with Lean Agile Procurement (LAP) to ensure efficient and rapid collaboration.

How did Enerkem manage to select a supplier while accurately assessing the cultural and business alignment between its team and the partner's, thus ensuring a smooth and effective collaboration, all within a timeframe half as long as the standard ?
