Strategic Sourcing Guide to Colour Flow Doppler Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies as well as Colour Flow Doppler procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Providers are increasing their adoption of new tools and technologies to optimize efficiencies and reduce the time taken to launch products in the market. This is adding to their OPEX and will have an inflationary impact on the overall price paid by the buyers.

Over the years, regional boundaries have blurred as suppliers foray into different continents, increase their capital expenditure and spend on cross-border M&A initiatives. The deployment of geographic diversification strategies through such consolidation initiatives has enabled the large suppliers to improve their performance and expand their business footprint.

Despite increasing costs on almost all fronts, suppliers are resisting a drastic price increase due to intense competition where market players are willing to increase their market share at the cost of profitability. Therefore, buyers can expect pricing status quo in most cases, or only negligible to marginal price increases in some cases.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Colour Flow Doppler Procurement Best Practices

It has become imperative for category managers to remain as agile as possible in terms of their procurement practices. However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Colour Flow Doppler. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of subcontracted services that are not part of their service providers' portfolios. This is necessary to ensure service consistency and control over sensitive data that are shared with sub-contracted firms.

Before engaging in a contractual agreement with suppliers, buyers should focus on identifying and understanding various critical parameters along with their impacts on different procurement models.

Investing in benchmarking studies help category managers enhance their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates based on job roles and functions. This allows them to not only save costs but also negotiate with suppliers. For example, while negotiating on rates of bundled services, buyers can save significantly on a single service by cross verifying the rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.

Risks in Colour Flow Doppler procurement

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

With rapidly evolving technology, suppliers are faced with the risk of technological obsolescence. Obsolete technology would not only deter adoption within the buyers' organization but could also result in inefficient process outputs
Suppliers are posed with the risk of non-conformance to industry standards and regulations, for example, those set by MHRA (UK) and US FDA. Any non-conformance by suppliers can result in penalties, product recalls or even revoking of the operating license
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 Colour Flow Doppler
