Strategic Sourcing Guide to Gravity Geophysical Instruments Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Gravity Geophysical Instruments market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Engineering Products and Equipment market. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Gravity Geophysical Instruments category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

Suppliers are under an enhanced pressure to offer greater quality, options that suit unique requirements and overall experience of the customer stakeholders involved.

Procurement costs for Gravity Geophysical Instruments are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Gravity Geophysical Instruments, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Gravity Geophysical Instruments procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Gravity Geophysical Instruments 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 Gravity Geophysical Instruments. 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.

Strong R&D focus is the sign of a supplier committed to enhancing the quality and cost proposition of its solutions. Buyers should collaborate with such suppliers for development of low-cost but highly efficiency products that can bring their OPEX down.

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.

Risks in Gravity Geophysical Instruments procurement

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

Political and regulatory changes pose significant risks to the category. For instance, imposition of tariffs on raw materials required to manufacture the finished goods increases costs. Similarly, restrictions on import of goods or raw materials from a particular country also contributes to significant risks. Additionally, insufficient IPR protection and product liability lawsuits lead turnout to be huge risk factors for the category
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. Therefore, suppliers incur excessive costs to keep upgrading their technology and to ensure maintenance of these technologies across various stages of the product category
Procurement without consulting the actual users of Gravity Geophysical Instruments may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
