Strategic Sourcing Guide to Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Engineering Products and Equipment as well as Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Markets across the globe are reeling under shortage of professionals and workforce that have relevant skills and training. Minimum wages and stringent regulations are compelling suppliers to increase their employee expenses which are expected to have an inflationary impact on buyers' procurement cost.

Customers are expecting service and experience levels which are at par with what ecommerce and consumer sectors of today offer. Moreover, competition keeps intensifying and demand and supply dynamics keep shifting.

Procurement costs for Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

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

Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools 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 Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Competitive bidding as a cost optimization tool is extremely potent but should be carefully deployed only when there is no significant differentiation among Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools suppliers.

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 need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools industry. This can be assessed by considering factors such as the years of experience, number of resources that have multi-year experience of working in the same industry and at least 3 to 5 credentials for the supplier.

Risks in Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools procurement

Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools procurement. Some examples include:

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
Crude oil is one of the major factors that determines the risks associated with the category as fuel costs account for a major portion of the suppliers' cost structure. Volatility in the prices of crude oil significantly impacts the overall costs incurred in the category
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 Hand-Held Electromechanical Tools
