Large global suppliers are entering into JVs and M&As with vendors that can provide them a solid footing for regional play.

Cyber security has emerged as a top priority within logistics and supply chain ecosystems. New accountability standards are emerging for the way suppliers and buyers collaborate and protect sensitive information and assets.

Glassine Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Glassine procurement.

For example, Buyers should enter in long-term partnerships and collaborative relationships with service providers to benefit from economies of scale and reduced cost. Long-term contracts are established to avoid renewal costs and avoid time spent on renegotiation.

Buyers prefer to engage with service providers that offer robust technological systems and leverage Internet-based systems to reduce cost and simplify visibility across the supply chain. Buyers should also assess the integration capabilities of software platforms offered by service providers to ensure that there are no additional costs incurred for software implementation.

Buyers need to discuss business goals and strategic imperatives with service providers to understand their mode of operation and establish control over important parameters of the supply chain.

Risks in Glassine procurement

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

Procurement without consulting the actual users of Glassine may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
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 Glassine
