Abstract: This paper presents a case study on procurement optimization and cost-saving strategies implemented at NeoMotion Pvt. Ltd., a pioneering startup in the assistive mobility sector. The study focuses on the company's sourcing processes for components like cushion covers, zippers, fabrics, reflective materials, and aluminum tube end caps used in customized wheelchair models such as NeoFly and NeoBolt. Using tools like Pareto analysis, cost-benefit comparisons, vendor evaluation matrices, and root cause analysis, the project identifies cost drivers, supplier inefficiencies, and material wastage. The interventions implemented—vendor negotiation, design optimization, and parallel sourcing—led to a 15% BOM cost reduction, 12% material saving, and improved lead times. This study highlights the significance of structured procurement systems in enhancing quality and operational efficiency in emerging manufacturing setups.
