Step 1. Understand the Problem:
The true culprit in preventing firms from initiating strategic sourcing is likely the processes used to manage data, vendors and reporting. Add
to that the fact that your current workflow processes are continually introducing new data that is also not any easier to manage and the
real root problem becomes exacerbated. Some potential problems we have witnessed:
______ __Lack
of good spend data
________Lack
of formal / structured sourcing / vendor management process
________Not
enough time to execute a thorough sourcing process
________Thorough
vendor management is too cumbersome
________Current
vendor management solution is too cumbersome
Key Tip:
Don’t just settle for the short-term, quick hits by:
________consolidating
suppliers
________reducing
SKU counts
________and
leveraging total spend by category
____…many of these quick fix gains erode quickly over time due to the capacity
____constraints of the existing infrastructure. Harnessing technology to automate
____transactions, organize and retrieve supply chain data and manage scale is
____critical to enabling long-term consistency of success and a long-term
____sustainable real dollar savings.
