Strategic Sourcing Guide to Oxygen Mask Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Oxygen Mask. Providers are increasing their adoption of new tools and technologies to optimize efficiencies and reduce the time taken to launch products in the market. This is adding to their OPEX and will have an inflationary impact on the overall price paid by the buyers.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Oxygen Mask, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

Companies that serve multiple markets are increasingly facing the dynamism in regulatory frameworks across countries. Coupled with increased costs across the value chain, suppliers are hard pressed to alter their business models and pricing structures to remain relevant in the market.

Oxygen Mask 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 Oxygen Mask procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Category managers must ensure that they have clearly identified and listed down potential negotiation levers to maximize the value of their category spend before entering into contract-related discussions with service providers. Common negotiation levers to maximize value include deadlines, terms related to payments, (including fees, expenses, and payment timelines) and assistance required from the buyer's organization.

Large organizational buyers can leverage their scale of operations to initiate competitive bidding between suppliers. Competitive bidding would enable buyers to have a better visibility of the market prices and may help identify suppliers that offer the most competitive price offering viz-a-viz other players.

Large organizations seek engagement with global category suppliers. However, they must try to achieve the right blend of regional and global suppliers in order to ensure the delivery at locations where global players do not have necessary capabilities.

Risks in Oxygen Mask procurement

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

Long credit period provided to buyers for making payment and fluctuating exchange rates pose a risk to suppliers. Default in payment by buyers would impact suppliers' ability to operate efficiently and may create a liquidity risk
Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
Suppliers are posed with the risk of non-conformance to industry standards and regulations, for example, those set by MHRA (UK) and US FDA. Any non-conformance by suppliers can result in penalties, product recalls or even revoking of the operating license
