Typically...
* Purchasing is spending more than 56% of revenue for purchased goods and materials.
*Only 5-10 suppliers account for 80% of this spending.
And very few of your purchasing resources (20%) are dedicated to these strategic, tier 1 suppliers.
*Meanwhile your purchasing team is missing the strategic cost savings opportunities.
*Most purchasing teams are overwhelmed by small transactions and are forced to abandon strategic opportunities.
But…
Competitive cost pressures require 10, 20, or 30% cost reductions per year. Skillful negotiation can only give 1-5% price discounts.
Our Changing Future...
Purchasing must know suppliers’ potential contribution to the bottom line. Purchasing must focus on:
*developing strategies
*building supplier relationships
*performing design/process/cost analysis
*requiring continuous improvement
