KEY PROCUREMENT INSIGHTS COVERED

Strategic Sourcing Guide to Process Control Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Operation of Industrial Facilities as well as Process Control procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Outsourcing of Process Control now represents a significant part of the global spend on this category, driven by value derived and a growing number of vendors who keep innovating with new services and value propositions.

Suppliers have historically gained handsome margin-on-margin by sub-contracting a part of their work to another contractor. However, Buyers are now delving deep into the business models of suppliers and negotiating hard to avoid further sub-contracting. In cases where it is imperative to sub-contract, category managers are employing should-cost models to keep supplier margins on sub-contracting to the minimal.

Several macro level trends such as slowing economic growth, trade conflicts, rising wages and technological disruptions have put pressure on managers to reduce their spend on Process Control without affecting the performance.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Process Control Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Process Control procurement.

For example, Buyers require industry-specific services to effectively operate their production facilities. Thus, they should opt for service providers that can offer customization and bring in years of experience in serving the needs of that industry.

Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities of categories using analytics, to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate their supply base easily, as well as to segment suppliers based on requirements and spend on each supplier.

Buyers should evaluate the true costs of each product and service within the scope of work for supplier, and also understand the hidden costs associated. This can help them to set accurate targets for cost reduction for their suppliers, and effectively monitor and evaluate their performance against industry benchmarks.

Risks in Process Control procurement

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


  • 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 Process Control
  • Workers may have to handle hazardous substances/materials. Non-compliance to the safety standards and working without using the personal protective equipment can result in accidents and affect operations. Workers are also required to work at heights while carrying out cleaning activities. Non-adoption of precautionary measures by workers can lead to fatalities or severe injuries, thus negatively impacting the reputation of buyers
  • Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
