Strategic Sourcing Guide to Runway-Inspection Services Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Runway-Inspection Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Operation of Industrial Facilities market. Historically, suppliers have sub-contracted a fair portion of their work and earned attractive margins, thereby increasing the cost of buyers. Buyers are now scrutinizing the service models of suppliers in much more depth to identify potential for sub-contracting and negotiating hard to avoid cost escalation on account of sub-contracting by employing should-cost models.

Suppliers are no more just the experts in Runway-Inspection Services. Many are moving up the value chain and offering integrated services that go beyond just Runway-Inspection Services. This new business model helps buyers on multiple counts, such as fewer suppliers to manage, cost savings arising of volume buying and long-term strategic partnerships with a chosen few suppliers that maximize the ROI and allow for strategic optimization experiments.

Companies are putting a great premium on sustainability and green practices within their entire value chain and business operations. Suppliers are not only expected to understand these practices but also demonstrate a solid history of abiding to similar principles.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Runway-Inspection Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Runway-Inspection Services. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

Risks in Runway-Inspection Services procurement

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

Service providers often outsource the installation, transportation, and maintenance of facilities and operations to third parties. Third-party suppliers may not provide the services in accordance with the standards set by the service providers. This reduces the ability of the service providers to ensure a seamless experience for buyers
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 Runway-Inspection Services
Procurement without consulting the actual users of Runway-Inspection Services may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
