Strategic Sourcing Guide to Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices Procurement

Overview

Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices procurement and the cost they have to incur. Over the years, regional boundaries have blurred as suppliers foray into different continents, increase their capital expenditure and spend on cross-border M&A initiatives. The deployment of geographic diversification strategies through such consolidation initiatives has enabled the large suppliers to improve their performance and expand their business footprint.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

The growing need for highly skilled workforce specialized in Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices is driving suppliers to increase compensation for experience professionals to retain them. This is inflating their OPEX and causing increase in procurement costs.

Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices procurement best practices.

For example, Buyers should look to minimize the contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms. Although these clauses are not very common in the category, suppliers may still insist on them, especially in situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question.

Large organizational buyers can leverage their scale of operations to initiate competitive bidding between suppliers. Competitive bidding would enable buyers to have a better visibility of the market prices and may help identify suppliers that offer the most competitive price offering viz-a-viz other players.

It is important for category managers to track and measure the performance of suppliers against a set of defined KPIs that are agreed upon during the contract negotiation phase. The performance of suppliers can also be linked to a portion of their fee that can be paid upon rendering of services in a satisfactory manner.
