Renault-Nissan: Say Hello to Bo/GM's purchasing czar is eagle-eyed, ruthless with suppliers, and out to save 2 billion dollars a year
KIRK KERKORIAN'S PRO posed shotgun wedding of General Motors Corp. and Renault-Nissan Motor Co. rests largely on one big premise: that the trio could save billions and race new cars to market by mashing up their engineering and purchasing might. Both sides are now weighing the idea's pros and cons. But before rushing into a deal, Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn might want to talk to Bo I. Andersson. Andersson is GM's purchasing czar. Few have a better understanding of the inefficiencies hobbling the world's No. 1 carmaker. Besides, Andersson is Ghosn's kind of guy. He aims to whack 2 billion dollars from GM's purchasing bill every year indefinitely and ax many of its 3,200 suppliers. Andersson expects results and will go to the mat to get them. A former Swedish Army officer who came up through the ranks of GM Europe, Andersson, 50, is a seriously hands-on individual. He zealously tracks every quality glitch, delay, and snafu on his BlackBerry-then calls the supplier to find out what's up.

Andersson谈谈。安德森是通用汽车的采购沙皇。很少有人对效率低下困扰着世界第一汽车制造商有更好的了解。此外，安德森是戈恩那种人。他的目标是每年无限期地从通用汽车的采购账单中扣除20亿美元，并砍掉其3200家供应商中的许多供应商。安德森（Andersson）期望取得结果，并将努力取得目标。现年50岁的安德森（Andersson）是前瑞典陆军军官，曾在通用汽车欧洲公司（GM Europe）晋升，他是一位认真动手的人。他热衷于在BlackBerry上跟踪每个质量故障，延迟和问题，然后致电供应商以查找问题所在。
