Strategic Sourcing Guide to Plumbing And Piping Fixtures Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Engineering Components market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Plumbing And Piping Fixtures. Customers are expecting service and experience levels which are at par with what ecommerce and consumer sectors of today offer. Moreover, competition keeps intensifying and demand and supply dynamics keep shifting.

Markets across the globe are reeling under shortage of professionals and workforce that have relevant skills and training. Minimum wages and stringent regulations are compelling suppliers to increase their employee expenses which are expected to have an inflationary impact on buyers' procurement cost.

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 Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Plumbing And Piping Fixtures 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 Plumbing And Piping Fixtures procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Plumbing And Piping Fixtures 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.

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

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.

Risks in Plumbing And Piping Fixtures procurement

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


  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Plumbing And Piping Fixtures may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • 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 Plumbing And Piping Fixtures
  • Political and regulatory changes pose significant risks to the category. For instance, imposition of tariffs on raw materials required to manufacture the finished goods increases costs. Similarly, restrictions on import of goods or raw materials from a particular country also contributes to significant risks. Additionally, insufficient IPR protection and product liability lawsuits lead turnout to be huge risk factors for the category
