Strategic Sourcing Guide to Back Flow Prevention Devices Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Engineering Products and Equipment as well as Back Flow Prevention Devices procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Procurement costs for Back Flow Prevention Devices are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Back Flow Prevention Devices, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

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.

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

Back Flow Prevention Devices 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 Back Flow Prevention Devices. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

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 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.

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.

Risks in Back Flow Prevention Devices procurement

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

  • 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
  • With changing technologies, the manufacturing, packaging and labelling requirements have become more stringent than ever across geographies globally. RFID tags, temperature sensors, and barcode scanners, have become common requirements across the category. There is also an increase in the adoption of technologies such as AI and IoT.
