GET FREE SAMPLEThis report on global Equipment Maintenance Services category is part of a larger series of reports on global Operation of Industrial Facilities market. The scope of Operation of Industrial Facilities spans multiple categories and is typically identified as a procurement category that includes all spend related to the operations of industrial facilities excluding costs incurred on salary, materials or consultancy.
Business practices within Equipment Maintenance Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Operation of Industrial Facilities market. Several macro level trends such as slowing economic growth, trade conflicts, rising wages and technological disruptions have put pressure on managers to reduce their spend on Equipment Maintenance Services without affecting the performance. The category has historically lagged in tech adoption due to inadequate skillsets of majority of workforce and the perennial requirement to reduce facilities related cost. Therefore, suppliers who have demonstrated technological prowess to achieve efficiencies are being preferred over traditional vendors. Suppliers have historically gained handsome margin-on-margin by sub-contracting a part of their work to another contractor. However, Buyers are now delving deep into the business models of suppliers and negotiating hard to avoid further sub-contracting. In cases where it is imperative to sub-contract, category managers are employing should-cost models to keep supplier margins on sub-contracting to the minimal. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Equipment Maintenance Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Equipment Maintenance Services procurement. For example, Buyers should evaluate the true costs of each product and service within the scope of work for supplier, and also understand the hidden costs associated. This can help them to set accurate targets for cost reduction for their suppliers, and effectively monitor and evaluate their performance against industry benchmarks. Buyers must ensure the participation and collaboration of all related cross-functional teams (procurement, electrical, engineering, and housekeeping) in category management and planning activities. This is crucial, as these teams will be the primary end-users of the services offered by suppliers, and this step will ensure consistency in services. Investing in benchmarking studies that help category managers enhance their knowledge on pricing or billing rates of suppliers allows them to not only save costs, but also negotiate better with suppliers. For example, while negotiating for bundled services, they can save significantly on a single service by cross-verifying rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.
