Strategic Sourcing Guide to Manufacturing Execution System Software Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Manufacturing Execution System Software market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Specialist Software and Hardware market.

The supply market has undergone several structural changes including introduction of several new vendors every year, M&As and vertical integration efforts of suppliers. This has resulted in some issues such as erosion of previously established supplier relationships but has also opened new opportunities to onboard new suppliers that offer a solution with better fitment or a wider range of offerings in .

Rise in the cost of certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver Manufacturing Execution System Software is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure.

Manufacturing Execution System Software Procurement Best Practices

Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Manufacturing Execution System Software procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of subcontracting services that are not a part of preferred suppliers' portfolios. Subcontractors should be bound by the same terms and conditions as the main contractor to ensure consistency in quality and manage any adverse event such as data breach.

Transferring to a new supplier can be often costly and can further get exacerbated by instances of vendor lock-ins. Buyers must scrutinize the offerings of service providers for any possibilities of vendor lock-ins and demand client testimonials from service providers to assess such possibilities. Watch out for products/services that are priced excessively low, as they can often result in costly lock-ins.

Adequate RFP response time should be built in for prospective suppliers to enable them understand the scope and usage patterns properly.
