Strategic Sourcing Guide to Oil Inspection Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Operation of Mining Facilities as well as Oil Inspection Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Suppliers have historically gained handsome margin-on-margin by sub-contracting a part of their work to another contractor. However, Buyers are now delving deep into the business models of suppliers and negotiating hard to avoid further sub-contracting. In cases where it is imperative to sub-contract, category managers are employing should-cost models to keep supplier margins on sub-contracting to the minimal.

A balanced approach to procurement of Oil Inspection Services has emerged, where buyers with multiple locations first outsource at individual locations and gradually move to standardize and consolidate the services across facilities.

Many companies are looking to engage Oil Inspection Services supplies in a long-term partnership to derive the highest ROI possible and creating an environment of trust and collaboration that allows for new optimization strategies.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Oil Inspection Services 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 Oil Inspection Services. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers should evaluate the true costs of each product and service within the scope of work for supplier, and also understand the hidden costs associated. This can help them to set accurate targets for cost reduction for their suppliers, and effectively monitor and evaluate their performance against industry benchmarks.

Investing in benchmarking studies that help category managers enhance their knowledge on pricing or billing rates of suppliers allows them to not only save costs, but also negotiate better with suppliers. For example, while negotiating for bundled services, they can save significantly on a single service by cross-verifying rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.

Buyers should set a baseline against which the performance of suppliers can be benchmarked along with setting measurable/quantifiable KPIs. Defined KPIs provides suppliers with clarity on the scope. Besides setting standards for operations, pricing, and performance, KPIs must provide tangible goals in terms of the quality of solutions.

Risks in Oil Inspection Services procurement

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


  • Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
  • Rising cost of labor, irregular evaluation of asset condition, and improper maintenance of the assets at the facilities increases cost of facilities management. Also, poor planning of maintenance and contingency budgeting results in an increase in the budget to the category managers
  • 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 Oil Inspection Services
