Strategic Sourcing Guide to Toggle Switches Procurement

Overview

The market for Engineering Components and its sub-segments such as Toggle Switches are at an interesting intersection. 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 Toggle Switches are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Toggle Switches, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Suppliers are continuously taking efforts to improve efficiencies and productivity and deploying processes and technologies. Some of these investments are likely to increase their costs in the shorter term, but learnings from other sectors keep the suppliers optimistic about a lean cost structure in the longer run.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Toggle Switches is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

Toggle Switches 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 Toggle Switches procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

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 need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Toggle Switches 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.

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.
