Strategic Sourcing Guide to Manufacturing Advisory Services Procurement

Overview

The market for Consultancy and its sub-segments such as Manufacturing Advisory Services are at an interesting intersection. There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Manufacturing Advisory Services market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills.

In a bid to broaden their service portfolio, Manufacturing Advisory Services service providers are heavily investing in advanced technologies and tools such as RPA, AI, data analytics, and blockchain. This trend has a potential to increase their OPEX and in turn, procurement costs for buyers in the short term.

Traditionally, clients were charged on per diem basis for Manufacturing Advisory Services. However, rising pressure from clients to decrease pricing has resulted into an alternative pricing model of value-oriented billing where supplier's remuneration is linked to the performance or outcome of the project.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Manufacturing Advisory Services is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.
