Strategic Sourcing Guide to Industrial Platforms & Catwalks Procurement

Overview

Engineering Products and Equipment market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Industrial Platforms & Catwalks procurement and the cost they have to incur. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Industrial Platforms & Catwalks category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

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 Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Suppliers of Industrial Platforms & Catwalks 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 Industrial Platforms & Catwalks. 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.

Industrial Platforms & Catwalks Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Industrial Platforms & Catwalks procurement.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that have recycling capability. Recycling capability of the suppliers will lower their production costs which will be passed on to buyers. Additionally, the recycling capability will contribute in furthering the sustainability goals of the buyers' organization.

Buyers should assess the level of adoption of the latest technologies by suppliers to assess cost-saving opportunities and quality that can be provided by the latter. For instance, the adoption of technologies such as cloud computing will enable suppliers to reduce their internal computing hardware requirements for operations such as CAD and CAM. This can, in turn, enable them to reduce their operating costs, thereby suppliers can offer products at lower rates to buyers.

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

Risks in Industrial Platforms & Catwalks procurement

Industrial Platforms & Catwalks procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Industrial Platforms & Catwalks 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 Industrial Platforms & Catwalks
