Strategic Sourcing Guide to Pumps, Valves And Fittings Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Engineering Products and Equipment as well as Pumps, Valves And Fittings procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Markets across the globe are reeling under shortage of professionals and workforce that have relevant skills and training. Minimum wages and stringent regulations are compelling suppliers to increase their employee expenses which are expected to have an inflationary impact on buyers' procurement cost.

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.

Suppliers of Pumps, Valves And Fittings are moving up the value chain - both organically as well as through M&As. Their portfolios are increasingly being diversified with the objective of offering integrated solutions that go beyond just Pumps, Valves And Fittings. Even buyers are engaging vendors who can act as a one-stop solution provider across their geographic footprint. Such strategic engagements can help buyers with savings associated with economies of scale and management of a much smaller supplier base.

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

Pumps, Valves And Fittings 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 Pumps, Valves And Fittings category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Pumps, Valves And Fittings procurement best practices.

For example, Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Pumps, Valves And Fittings 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.

Buyers should assess the level of adoption of the latest technologies by suppliers to assess cost-saving opportunities and quality that can be provided by the latter. For instance, the adoption of technologies such as cloud computing will enable suppliers to reduce their internal computing hardware requirements for operations such as CAD and CAM. This can, in turn, enable them to reduce their operating costs, thereby suppliers can offer products at lower rates to buyers.

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.

Risks in Pumps, Valves And Fittings procurement

Pumps, Valves And Fittings procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Pumps, Valves And Fittings procurement. Some examples include:


  • 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.

Additionally, insufficient IPR protection and product liability lawsuits lead turnout to be huge risk factors for 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
  • 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 Pumps, Valves And Fittings
