Implementing holistic procurement management
When it comes to the issue of procurement, industrial manufacturing companies find themselves confronted today with a variety of challenges.
- Broad, complex procurement spectrum
- Traditional methods for price reduction no longer work
- In many cases, belated inclusion of purchasing
- Logistical requirements must form part of the negotiations from the very outset
- Change in the requirements profile of purchasing managers
- Poor data quality makes material group management difficult
- (External) constraints to procuring from intransparent markets
- Inter-cultural difficulties
- Difficult supplier qualification in markets like China and India
- Guaranteeing of supply
What is required is a uniform approach that takes hold at an early stage of the product development process and, in addition to the well-known methods of strategic purchasing, also includes optimization of the entire value-added chain.
