Strategic Sourcing Guide to Fertilizer Minerals Procurement

Overview

Non-Medical Chemicals Minerals and Gases market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Fertilizer Minerals procurement and the cost they have to incur. 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 Fertilizer Minerals are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Fertilizer Minerals, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Suppliers of Fertilizer Minerals are moving up the value chain - both organically as well as through M&As. Their portfolios are increasingly being diversified with the objective of offering integrated solutions that go beyond just Fertilizer Minerals. Even buyers are engaging vendors who can act as a one-stop solution provider across their geographic footprint. Such strategic engagements can help buyers with savings associated with economies of scale and management of a much smaller supplier base.

Fertilizer Minerals Procurement Best Practices

Fertilizer Minerals procurement best practices are moving towards a level of sophistication which is typically seen in traditional procurement categories. Category managers now have an attractive opportunity to adapt the best practices seen within this category as well as those being leveraged in other non-related categories. This report summarizes the best practices picked from across multiple categories that could work well for category managers involved with Fertilizer Minerals procurement strategy.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that repurchase used products at fair market value. This assists buyers to dispose of used products in a convenient manner. Also, during such repurchases, suppliers provide credits to buyers for future purchases. This reduces overall procurement costs for buyers.

Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Fertilizer Minerals 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.

Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Fertilizer Minerals 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.

Risks in Fertilizer Minerals procurement

Fertilizer Minerals procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Fertilizer Minerals 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 Fertilizer Minerals
  • 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
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Fertilizer Minerals may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
