Strategic Sourcing Guide to Ruthenium Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Non-Medical Chemicals Minerals and Gases as well as Ruthenium procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Procurement costs for Ruthenium are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Ruthenium, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers.

Suppliers are under an enhanced pressure to offer greater quality, options that suit unique requirements and overall experience of the customer stakeholders involved.

Customers are expecting service and experience levels which are at par with what ecommerce and consumer sectors of today offer. Moreover, competition keeps intensifying and demand and supply dynamics keep shifting.

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

Ruthenium Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Ruthenium procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that have adopted a global delivery model as it reduces buyers' risk. In this model, any disaster/emergency at any operating facility of supplier will result in the work being transferred to a different facility, thereby ensuring continuity of the project and reduced risk for buyers. This model also provides buyers access to skilled labor from across the globe, thereby improving the quality of engineering products provided by the supplier.

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

Buyers should engage with suppliers that repurchase used products at fair market value. This assists buyers to dispose of used products in a convenient manner. Also, during such repurchases, suppliers provide credits to buyers for future purchases. This reduces overall procurement costs for buyers.

Risks in Ruthenium procurement

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


  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Ruthenium may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • With changing technologies, the manufacturing, packaging and labelling requirements have become more stringent than ever across geographies globally. RFID tags, temperature sensors, and barcode scanners, have become common requirements across the category. There is also an increase in the adoption of technologies such as AI and IoT. Therefore, suppliers incur excessive costs to keep upgrading their technology and to ensure maintenance of these technologies across various stages of the product category
  • 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
