Strategic Sourcing Guide to Quality Testing Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Operation of Industrial Facilities as well as Quality Testing procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Buyers of Quality Testing are insisting on hard evidence to support cost reduction. Suppliers are responding with elaborate matrix of KPIs that provide managers actionable data on supplier performance and cost savings achieved.

Outsourcing of Quality Testing 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.

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

For example, 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 must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of sub-contracting services that are not a part of their preferred suppliers' portfolios. This will ensure consistency in the services of sub-contracted firms as well as protection of confidential data.

Benefits of an integrated program are more apparent over a period of 5-7 years, and the goal in such relationships is to achieve cost savings and improve performance in the long run. Buyers should opt for suppliers that have a track record of long-term engagements as this will increase the probability of these suppliers sustaining in a mutually beneficial relationship for a longer duration.

  • 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
