Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Numerically controlled grinding machines category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

Procurement costs for Numerically controlled grinding machines are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Numerically controlled grinding machines, 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 Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.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 Numerically controlled grinding machines procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Numerically controlled grinding machines Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Numerically controlled grinding machines procurement.

For example, Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Numerically controlled grinding machines 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.

Buyers should engage with suppliers that have adopted a global delivery model as it reduces buyers' risk. In this model, any disaster/emergency at any operating facility of supplier will result in the work being transferred to a different facility, thereby ensuring continuity of the project and reduced risk for buyers. This model also provides buyers access to skilled labor from across the globe, thereby improving the quality of engineering products provided by the supplier.

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.

Risks in Numerically controlled grinding machines procurement

Numerically controlled grinding machines procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Numerically controlled grinding machines 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 Numerically controlled grinding machines
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
