Strategic Sourcing Guide to Platforms Lighting Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Platforms Lighting market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Office Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings market. Outsourcing of Platforms Lighting now represents a significant part of the global spend on this category, driven by value derived and a growing number of vendors who keep innovating with new services and value propositions.

The category has historically lagged in tech adoption due to inadequate skillsets of majority of workforce and the perennial requirement to reduce facilities related cost. Therefore, suppliers who have demonstrated technological prowess to achieve efficiencies are being preferred over traditional vendors.

As market presence of companies become global, there is a growing preference towards service providers who can provide services seamlessly across the globe and have excellent understanding of local regulations and culture.

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

Platforms Lighting Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Platforms Lighting category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Platforms Lighting procurement best practices.

For example, Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities of categories using analytics, to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate their supply base easily, as well as to segment suppliers based on requirements and spend on each supplier.

Buyers must ensure the participation and collaboration of all related cross-functional teams (procurement, electrical, engineering, and housekeeping) in category management and planning activities. This is crucial, as these teams will be the primary end-users of the services offered by suppliers, and this step will ensure consistency in services.

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.

Risks in Platforms Lighting procurement

Platforms Lighting procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Platforms Lighting 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 Platforms Lighting
  • Workers may have to handle hazardous substances/materials. Non-compliance to the safety standards and working without using the personal protective equipment can result in accidents and affect operations. Workers are also required to work at heights while carrying out cleaning activities. Non-adoption of precautionary measures by workers can lead to fatalities or severe injuries, thus negatively impacting the reputation of buyers
  • Suppliers regularly outsource services such as housekeeping and food services to the third-party vendors. However, when third- party vendors fail to offer service due to technical or operational constraints, this results in significant losses to the buyers
