Strategic Sourcing Guide to Pipeline Supports Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Pipeline Supports market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Engineering Components market. Procurement costs for Pipeline Supports are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Pipeline Supports, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Pipeline Supports category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs.

Suppliers are continuously taking efforts to improve efficiencies and productivity and deploying processes and technologies. Some of these investments are likely to increase their costs in the shorter term, but learnings from other sectors keep the suppliers optimistic about a lean cost structure in the longer run.

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

Pipeline Supports 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 Pipeline Supports. 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.

Competitive bidding as a cost optimization tool is extremely potent but should be carefully deployed only when there is no significant differentiation among Pipeline Supports suppliers.

Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Pipeline Supports 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.

Risks in Pipeline Supports procurement

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

While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
  • With high adoption of lean manufacturing, the smallest of changes in the supply chain activities lead to huge losses. For instance, cargo theft, flight delays, and quality control issues leads to significant losses to both the suppliers and buyers in the category
  • Crude oil is one of the major factors that determines the risks associated with the category as fuel costs account for a major portion of the suppliers' cost structure. Volatility in the prices of crude oil significantly impacts the overall costs incurred in the category
