KEY PROCUREMENT INSIGHTS COVERED

Strategic Sourcing Guide to Headers Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Headers market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Engineering Components market. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Headers category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

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.

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 Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Headers procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Headers Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Headers category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Headers procurement best practices.

For example, 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.

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

Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Headers 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 Headers procurement

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


  • 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
  • With high adoption of lean manufacturing, the smallest of changes in the supply chain activities lead to huge losses. For instance, cargo theft, flight delays, and quality control issues leads to significant losses to both the suppliers and buyers 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 Headers
