Strategic Sourcing Guide to Carbon Paper Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Office Supplies market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Carbon Paper. Service providers are incurring incremental expenditure on technology with the procurement and operation of advanced technologies and software to improve efficiencies and better serve the customers. Increasing technology-related expenditure is expected to have an inflationary impact on the procurement price offered to the buyers.

In a fragmented market, where differentiation is difficult to achieve, pricing is more often set by the level of competition. One of the major challenges faced by the global suppliers is the intense competition which is frequently leading to over-discounting.

Recent advances in information technology and online commerce have allowed buyers to increasingly utilize e-auctioning as a mechanism to reduce costs across the value chain. E-auctioning allows buyers to reduce the procurement lead times, increase their supplier base and connect with sellers and intermediaries simultaneously.

Carbon Paper Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Carbon Paper procurement.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that can offer environment-friendly solutions that help reduce the carbon footprint. Some examples are products made from natural resins, recycled plastics, and wood from managed forests which are often ignored by SMEs/unorganized suppliers.

Buyers must accumulate essential data across their information systems and suppliers to create benchmarks for cost, quality and service levels for Carbon Paper suppliers.

Competitive bidding as a cost optimization tool is extremely potent but should be carefully deployed only when there is no significant differentiation among Carbon Paper suppliers.

Risks in Carbon Paper procurement

Carbon Paper procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Carbon Paper procurement. Some examples include:


  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Carbon Paper
  • Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Carbon Paper may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
