The Strategic Sourcing Process
We approach each sourcing activity from a Fundamentals standpoint. By considering an item’s nature and its fit within the bigger picture of an Organization, we can accurately tailor a plan for searching, sourcing, negotiating, and landing, while ensuring that all the applicable Quality and Product requirements are met or exceeded!
Commodity: Items regularly consumed on a daily basis, with recurring orders for planned needs
Leverageable: Items with a low chance of supply disruption but a high profit impact
Bottleneck: Materials that can easily cause major delays in manufacturing
Core: IP-sensitive or specialized materials crucial for core product offerings
THIRD-PARTY NEGOTIATION
– Having trouble gaining traction with key suppliers?
– Stuck in prolonged discussions over late delivery dates or poor quality?
– Facing a critical Production line down situation?
Allow us to assist you. By engaging a third-party negotiator on your behalf, you can benefit from faster conflict resolution timeframes, reduced costs, greater control over the process, and ultimately the preservation of relationships between all parties involved.
