Procurement Co-Sourcing & Management Services
 
Your business functions are designed and mandated to allocate resources (business bandwidth and capital) on core activities which directly fuel business growth. Your non core Sourcing & Procurement function takes a back-seat and ends up being a supporting activity to the business resulting in:
  1. Cost leakages
  2. Suboptimal price discovery
  3. Lack of new vendors in business operations
  4. Maverick buying
  5. Contract non-adherence
  6. Preferential vendor treatment
  7. Poor vendor management practices
  8. Inefficient & incomplete material catalogue and specifications
How do you transform your Sourcing & Procurement function from a non-core/supporting set of activities to a strategic business enabler that positively impact your bottom-line and delivers competitive advantage over your peers? How would you ensure that your Sourcing & Procurement activities guarantees the
following tangible results:
  1. Year-on-year landed cost savings.
  2. Be more responsive to the business’ needs.
  3. Reduce total cost of ownership for MRO items.
  4. Increase service levels from suppliers.
You need to squeeze inefficiencies out of your sourcing & procurement function. You need to make the entire procurement process lean, transparent, compliant and fast. You need to reduce landed cost of materials on a progressive basis. And you need sourcing experts who can manage your sourcing requirements on a commodity basis. Its not an one size fits all approach, nor a mechanical engineer sourcing all your mechanical spares and equipment needs. Industries vary by nature, complexity and cost structure, so do commodities. Transform your sourcing function by:
  1. Leveraging category experts who are more knowledgeable about the particular industry and its underlying cost structure
  2. Use of supplier data base to discover more potential suppliers and increase competition, reduce delivery and quality risks
  3. Use of sourcing best practices in spend analysis, demand generation, cost models, negotiation, contract management,supplier management
  4. Standardizing material specifications through use of commodity attribute set and reduce risks of unwanted material purchase
Last, but not the least, leveraging IT as a strategic sourcing tool to driver efficiency, speed, transparency and compliance.
