Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Engineering Products and Equipment as well as Plastic And Rubber Processing Equipment procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules.

Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Plastic And Rubber Processing Equipment 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 Plastic And Rubber Processing Equipment procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that have adopted a global delivery model as it reduces buyers' risk. In this model, any disaster/emergency at any operating facility of supplier will result in the work being transferred to a different facility, thereby ensuring continuity of the project and reduced risk for buyers. This model also provides buyers access to skilled labor from across the globe, thereby improving the quality of engineering products provided by the supplier.

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 need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Plastic And Rubber Processing Equipment 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.
