Strategic Sourcing Guide to Electrostatic Equipment Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Engineering Products and Equipment market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Electrostatic Equipment. Suppliers of Electrostatic Equipment are moving up the value chain - both organically as well as through M&As. Their portfolios are increasingly being diversified with the objective of offering integrated solutions that go beyond just Electrostatic Equipment. Even buyers are engaging vendors who can act as a one-stop solution provider across their geographic footprint. Such strategic engagements can help buyers with savings associated with economies of scale and management of a much smaller supplier base.

Regulatory guidance on data protection and increasing concern over cybersecurity have increased the costs for suppliers as they incur additional spend on compliance and security. These additional costs have a potential to drive marginal increase in prices across the key geographies.

Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Electrostatic Equipment category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

Electrostatic Equipment Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Electrostatic Equipment procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Strong R&D focus is the sign of a supplier committed to enhancing the quality and cost proposition of its solutions. Buyers should collaborate with such suppliers for development of low-cost but highly efficiency products that can bring their OPEX down.

Buyers should engage with suppliers that repurchase used products at fair market value. This assists buyers to dispose of used products in a convenient manner. Also, during such repurchases, suppliers provide credits to buyers for future purchases. This reduces overall procurement costs for buyers.

Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Electrostatic Equipment suppliers. Factors such as cost incurred, service quality, adherence to timelines, and regulatory compliance of subcontractors employed by suppliers should be carefully assessed prior to engagement.

Risks in Electrostatic Equipment procurement

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

Procurement without consulting the actual users of Electrostatic Equipment may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
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
Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
