Caracas, Venezuela – 2020 The Multidisciplinary Procurement System for Operational Cost (SIMPROC), developed by renowned expert in procurement management, business administration, and marketing, Oliver De Sousa, continues to establish itself as a benchmark model in the comprehensive transformation of procurement processes within public and private organizations.
SIMPROC has been recognized by prestigious institutions such as Fedecámaras, the Eureka Civil Association, industrial chambers, and various trade organizations for its deep impact on optimizing operational costs, substantially improving operational traceability, and maximizing institutional efficiency.
Since its creation and initial implementation, SIMPROC has delivered exceptional results in key sectors such as manufacturing, construction, spare parts trade, advanced logistics services, and mass distribution, showing documented reductions of up to 25% in procurement-related operational costs. This cost reduction not only translates into significant financial savings for companies but also greatly enhances document control, improves strategic decision-making, and strengthens long-term business sustainability.
In the manufacturing industry, SIMPROC has helped optimize supply chains, reduce inventory waiting times, and minimize production waste. In the construction sector, it has enabled better management of material and financial resources, increasing efficiency in project planning and execution. In the specialized spare parts trade, it has significantly improved inventory accuracy and delivery times, strengthening relationships with both clients and suppliers. In advanced logistics and mass distribution, SIMPROC has contributed to improved coordination among suppliers, distribution centers, and end customers, ensuring smoother and more efficient processes.
A key feature of the SIMPROC system lies in its interdisciplinary and adaptive approach. Unlike traditional fragmented models, SIMPROC integrates financial, technical, logistical, and social criteria into a unified methodology that allows for more precise and effective decisions. This has enabled diverse organizations to apply the system in a scalable manner, from small local businesses to large corporations with national and international operations.
SIMPROC’s impact extends beyond the operational sphere; it also drives structural changes that promote administrative transparency, budget efficiency, and corporate sustainability. These attributes have been especially valued by regulatory entities and independent evaluators who have certified the system’s positive impact on significantly improving organizational performance.
Oliver De Sousa, the system’s creator, explains:
“SIMPROC was conceived with the vision of radically transforming the way organizations understand and execute their procurement processes, shifting from a traditional approach to a results-oriented and sustainable management model with strategic purpose.”
Various independent assessments by international experts in operational management, industrial logistics, and business processes have objectively and conclusively validated the system’s effectiveness and high impact. SIMPROC has been officially recognized as a notable innovation originated in Venezuela, with proven potential for international expansion.
Among the most prominent recognitions are:
• Fedecámaras: For its significant contribution to operational modernization and administrative efficiency in business organizations.
• Eureka Civil Association: For its originality, significance, and contribution to the professionalization and improvement of procurement management.
• Business validation: Multiple private companies have certified and documented the effectiveness and operational improvements achieved through direct implementation of the SIMPROC system.
Currently, SIMPROC is being formalized as intellectual property, supported by a comprehensive explanatory literary guide that details its methodology, practical implementation cases, specialized technical glossary, and historical evolution from its conception to its current national and international recognition.
Thus, SIMPROC stands as a legacy of Venezuelan innovation with global impact, positioning Oliver De Sousa as a key figure in the modernization of business management and the advancement of operational procurement processes on an international scale.
