For example, Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Greases 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 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. Competitive bidding as a cost optimization tool is extremely potent but should be carefully deployed only when there is no significant differentiation among Greases suppliers.
