Miele has set up a global matrix organisation for its procurement processes. In addition to de-centralised procurement units and their directors, there is also the "Material Group Management" (MGM).

The MGM is responsible for processing certain groups of materials as part of a process spanning different plants and functions, with the goal of optimisation. This refers, in particular, to reducing costs and standardizing materials and services.

The division Procurement Directs has 9 Material Group Managers and the division Procurement Indirects has 6 Global Category Leads who are responsible for developing and implementing the procurement strategy in their relevant material group.
