Over the years the relationship between supplier and customer has focused hard on many of the wrong things. Price alone is almost always the most important factor in selecting any supplier.
Yet we know that price can only account for out-of-pocket costs actually paid out to suppliers. Other factors that are overlooked are more important in determining the overall cost of purchasing and its ultimate value to your organization. The overlooked but important factors include Cost of Value-Added services (like customization and design), rework, returns, inspection, administration and inconvenience cost.
More important, these costs exclude the opportunity costs of not doing business with suppliers who can provide significant benefits, which include:
- Joint Strategic Planning and Product Design
- Coordinated marketing
- Joint Customer Research
- Cross Selling
- Paperwork reductions
- Management Information Systems and Systems Support
- Increased Customer Goodwill.
Today the modern world has moved to a Customer-Supplier Relationship model, where you seek not only to find cost reductions and service enhancements for your company, but also similar benefits to your supplier. More importantly, you find the supplier who is interested in your business because of its strategic importance.
Whether you're working as a purchaser, management personnel or you want to learn more about the most overlooked function - purchasing. This course will equip you with the tools and strategies that others paid millions to acquire:
