It's about a Procurement Manager who sources: — Castings; — Forgings; — Stamping and Fabrication assemblies; — CNC machining components. He, the component buyer, is answerable to: — the quality manager; — the design manager; — the production manager. When: — the purchased products are custom designed and; — the suppliers are exclusive; Buyers spend too much time in: — Ensuring deliveries; — Chasing suppliers and; — Follow-ups & issues resolution. On the other side, the buyer should spend his time in: — long-term system development; — Spend management and; — supplier prospecting. Too many expectations, too little in control. Are we talking to a procurement professional or a super-human? #vendor #supplier #globalsourcing #suppliermanagement

After 20 years in the metal fabrication industry, I've seen firsthand how purchasing departments struggle to balance quality and cost. The pressure to keep budgets in check while ensuring that quality standards are met is a common challenge—especially when it comes to sourcing custom or precision metal components. For heavy machinery OEMs, the challenges are even more pronounced: - Limited Supplier Pool: Sourcing specialized components often means relying on a few suppliers, limiting bargaining power and leading to higher prices and supply disruptions. - Quality Control Concerns: Opting for lower-cost options can result in quality issues, leading to increased costs and impacting customer relationships. - Hidden Costs of Cutting Corners: Choosing cheaper materials or vendors may seem cost-effective initially but can lead to delays, defects, and maintenance issues, eroding savings over time. To address these challenges, consider: - Qualifying Multiple Vendors: Diversify suppliers to enhance flexibility. - Strategic Partnerships: Cultivate long-term relationships with suppliers to ensure quality and proactive problem-solving. - Investing in Quality Control Processes: Implement stringent processes to maintain standards and prevent costly issues. Successful teams find creative solutions to the quality-cost trade-off. What strategies have you implemented? Share your experiences in the comments—let's discuss!

This is a huge mistake. No competitive pressure = higher costs. We’ve seen it over and over again. Challenges to resourcing include things like: · Extensive/costly testing of new materials or supplier · Lengthy customer approval process · Not easy to find suppliers that are a cultural fit with your company · Your components require specialized capabilities not all suppliers have The process story is, 1. Buyers look at a category, sees one or more of these challenges, 2. Buyer gives up. The trick is to dig one step deeper and segment the spend into sub-categories. We find actionable sub-categories with enough spend to make it worthwhile 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Here’s an example: A company had a $36M injection molding spend. They segmented the spend into 4 groups: 1. Grained Class A - $20M 2. Functional black plastic - $6M 3. Assemblies - $5M 4. Painted parts - $5M ❌ Grained Class A parts require lengthy customer approvals ✅ Functional black plastic parts – no challenges! ❌ Assemblies require extensive testing ❌ Painted parts of difficult quality requirements most suppliers can’t meet There is a $6M segment that is ripe for introducing competitive pressure. My experience is, there’s $200k+ savings possible in this type of opportunity. To identify quick savings on direct materials, look for segments that lack competitive pressure and don’t have any big challenges to resourcing. Are you a manufacturing leader that needs to implement savings starting in 2024? DM me to discuss if you might have untapped opportunities to implement $200k - $500k savings in as little as 14 weeks (with fees based on savings achieved). #CostReduction #Sourcing #Procurement

People don't buy Products. They join Tribes. An Example: — Before you buy the latest smartphone, deep inside your mind, you join the tribe of that brand's users. Today, the competition is NOT between: — Business vs. Business The competition is between: — Tribe 1 vs. Tribe 2 Let me now talk on behalf of a global buyer / procurement / purchasing managers of: ⚙️ Castings ⚙️ Forgings ⚙️ CNC machined Parts ⚙️ Stamping Components ⚙️ Plastic Parts The real competition is NOT between: — You (the supplier) vs. Other non-Indian suppliers. The real competition is between: — Your, pro-India buyer vs. other, not-pro-India buyer. The supplier's job is to make your buyer win. And, you can make your buyer win by: — Quality — On-time, in-full delivery — Transparency — Responsiveness — Following Safety and Compliances. An additional tip for you (if you like my post): If your buyer is excited to bring his management to your factory, you are doing good work. #suppliermanagement #Sheetmetal #Inox #CNCmilling #vendormanagement
