  • Companies across industries are adjusting to volatile market conditions and reduced demand, leading executives to focus on cost reduction. The procurement and supply chain function serves as a key lever for improved cost performance, and many companies have launched initiatives focused on cost optimization.
  • Look Beyond Strategic Sourcing Companies often focus their efforts simply on strategic sourcing, but strategic sourcing alone cannot drive sustainable benefits. A limited focus on strategic sourcing may initially reduce costs for the buyer, but it may not ensure long-term realization of those benefits. More importantly, if executed in a manner where cost is the only focus, strategic sourcing can result in damage to a supplier relationship that may become critical in times of supply constraints. Instead, the focus should be on enhancing long-term value obtained from suppliers rather than on simply finding the lowest price.

  • The objective of strategic purchasing is to manage suppliers to reduce cost of materials and engage them in downstream processes and also to reduce the cost of purchasing. The implementation of IT in purchasing enables automation of many of the processes such as bid management and evaluation, order management and payment processes such as handling of invoices. The automation reduces errors in the purchase to pay cycle and increases process efficiency.

    "A growing focus on sustainable supply chain management over the past few years has proven to be a big cost savings opportunity for many businesses. With traditional procurement strategies primarily focused on cost savings through vendor reduction, leverage spend, inventorsikry reductions, transaction efficiencies, a shifting sustainability mindset is elevating supply chain thinking. More strategically focused organizations are evaluating business sustainability risks that extend beyond the walls of the company. "

Innovation bestpractices

shared by ISM Silicon Valley on 04 Oct 10 - Cached
  • Solving the problem doesn't go far enough. Sustainable — transformative — innovation emerges from the ability to collaboratively explore alternative approaches. Watt, Carrier, and Intel didn't achieve their breakthroughs by solving problems for their strategic clients; success came from testing approaches with their clients. Whether business historians acknowledge it or not, that's equally true for Henry Ford, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs.
  • As the saying goes, the one thing history teaches is that we don't learn from history. Just because business history short shrifts the customer and client contribution to innovation success doesn't mean businesses should. If you want to become a more innovative organization, don't hire more innovative employees, acquire more innovative customers. Your capacity to innovate matters less than your customers' and clients' willingness and ability to exploit it.

  • As supply management professionals, we attend conferences on gaining a seat at the executive table. We read articles about how the procurement team can become a trusted business partner within the company. As supply management leaders, we train our teams on strategic thinking, emotional intelligence and cross-cultural management.
  • Reporting the right metrics, in the right way, has contributed to securing supply management's seat at the table. At Sodexo, we hold two spots on the executive team, and supply reports directly to the CEO. We have seats on the marketing council and CSR steering committee, as well as on numerous other task forces within the company.

  • One of the biggest challenges for the CPO is how to tap into supplier innovations and bring supplier development strategies closer to sales and, as a result, the customer. This particular responsibility isn’t one of “buying” but of strategic development. In short, CPOs must beat the competition to the next “big thing” coming out of the supplier network and beyond.
