Take the Supplier Risk & Opportunity Assessment
Do you know where to look for savings during rising market conditions?
What visibility do you have to your indirect spend?
Are you prepared to take advantage of the upcoming price improvements or will you be slow to capitalize?
Do you utilize “see-through” pricing structures with your major suppliers?
Do you know if your suppliers are appropriately passing through raw material pricing? At what margin?
Do you rely on suppliers for design and cost-saving ideas around raw material inputs, packaging design, and other value-add/value engineering opportunities?
How do your contract terms and general pricing structures compare to the market?
Are your specs for finished goods, parts, packaging, or raw materials over-engineered? Are you in a position to evaluate internally?
What procurement and price management tools/technologies are you currently using?
What are you doing to reduce the transaction cost of your international transactions?
