A changing ecosystem within the Food and Beverages market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Processed Fruit And Vegetables. Outsourcing of Processed Fruit And Vegetables 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.

Buyers of Processed Fruit And Vegetables are insisting on hard evidence to support cost reduction. Suppliers are responding with elaborate matrix of KPIs that provide managers actionable data on supplier performance and cost savings achieved.

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 Processed Fruit And Vegetables without affecting the performance.

Processed Fruit And Vegetables Procurement Best Practices

It has become imperative for category managers to remain as agile as possible in terms of their procurement practices. However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Processed Fruit And Vegetables. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, 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 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.

Buyers must ensure the participation and collaboration of all related cross-functional teams (procurement, electrical, engineering, and housekeeping) in category management and planning activities. This is crucial, as these teams will be the primary end-users of the services offered by suppliers, and this step will ensure consistency in services.

Risks in Processed Fruit And Vegetables procurement

Processed Fruit And Vegetables procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Processed Fruit And Vegetables 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 Processed Fruit And Vegetables
Suppliers are often faced with challenges such as shortage of labor, as the demand for FM services is very high. Shortages can interrupt operations, leading to delay in projects and cost overruns
Irregular inspections of facilities and installations can lead to the failure of electrical and maintenance-related equipment. This leads to downtime and interrupts the day-to-day operations of the buyers, thereby resulting in huge losses
