Strategic Sourcing Guide to Flash Memory Integrated Circuits Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Engineering Components as well as Flash Memory Integrated Circuits procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. 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.

Technology is improving productivity and creating fresh demand. Convergence of data science, automation tools, 3D printing, robotics, AI and big data has opened up multiple possibilities to better serve customers at a lower operational cost.

Suppliers of Flash Memory Integrated Circuits 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 Flash Memory Integrated Circuits. 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.

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

Flash Memory Integrated Circuits 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 Flash Memory Integrated Circuits procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Flash Memory Integrated Circuits 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.

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

Buyers should engage with suppliers that have adopted a global delivery model as it reduces buyers' risk. In this model, any disaster/emergency at any operating facility of supplier will result in the work being transferred to a different facility, thereby ensuring continuity of the project and reduced risk for buyers. This model also provides buyers access to skilled labor from across the globe, thereby improving the quality of engineering products provided by the supplier.

Risks in Flash Memory Integrated Circuits procurement

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


  • With changing technologies, the manufacturing, packaging and labelling requirements have become more stringent than ever across geographies globally. RFID tags, temperature sensors, and barcode scanners, have become common requirements across the category. There is also an increase in the adoption of technologies such as AI and IoT. Therefore, suppliers incur excessive costs to keep upgrading their technology and to ensure maintenance of these technologies across various stages of the product category
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Flash Memory Integrated Circuits may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • 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
