Overview

Business practices within Aluminium Oxide market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Engineering Materials market. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Aluminium Oxide category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

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.

Suppliers are under an enhanced pressure to offer greater quality, options that suit unique requirements and overall experience of the customer stakeholders involved.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Aluminium Oxide procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

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

For example, Buyers should invest in benchmarking studies that help category managers to improve their knowledge on market pricing or billing rates of service providers. This helps them to not only save costs but also increase their negotiation power.

Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Aluminium Oxide 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 Aluminium Oxide suppliers.

Risks in Aluminium Oxide procurement

Aluminium Oxide procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Aluminium Oxide 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 Aluminium Oxide
  • With high adoption of lean manufacturing, the smallest of changes in the supply chain activities lead to huge losses. For instance, cargo theft, flight delays, and quality control issues leads to significant losses to both the suppliers and buyers in the category
  • Crude oil is one of the major factors that determines the risks associated with the category as fuel costs account for a major portion of the suppliers' cost structure. Volatility in the prices of crude oil significantly impacts the overall costs incurred in the category
