However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Fixed ratio speed reducers. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

Risks in Fixed ratio speed reducers procurement

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

Political and regulatory changes pose significant risks to the category. For instance, imposition of tariffs on raw materials required to manufacture the finished goods increases costs. Similarly, restrictions on import of goods or raw materials from a particular country also contributes to significant risks. Additionally, insufficient IPR protection and product liability lawsuits lead turnout to be huge risk factors for the category
Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
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 Fixed ratio speed reducers
