The scope of Engineering Products and Equipment spans multiple categories and is typically identified as a procurement category that includes all spend related to the provision of goods related to the operation of industrial and engineering services, including machines, equipment and supplies related to cranes, engines and machinery, measurement and testing, hardware and instruments.
Engineering Products and Equipment market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Rail Equipment procurement and the cost they have to incur. Regulatory guidance on data protection and increasing concern over cybersecurity have increased the costs for suppliers as they incur additional spend on compliance and security. These additional costs have a potential to drive marginal increase in prices across the key geographies. Technology is improving productivity and creating fresh demand. Convergence of data science, automation tools, 3D printing, robotics, AI and big data has opened up multiple possibilities to better serve customers at a lower operational cost. Procurement costs for Rail Equipment are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Rail Equipment, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.
The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Rail Equipment procurement. For example, Strong R&D focus is the sign of a supplier committed to enhancing the quality and cost proposition of its solutions. Buyers should collaborate with such suppliers for development of low-cost but highly efficiency products that can bring their OPEX down. 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 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.
