Manufacturing companies, specifically in process industries, are prone to the Raw Material pricing volatility. Manufacturing growth and Raw Material demand in Asia, subdued growth in Europe and North America, diminishing Raw Material Supply sources, and unfavorable logistics conditions are increasing the Raw Material prices globally.
In 2008, Raw Material prices touched all-time high. The difference between the high and low prices was almost 40% in 2005 and whopping 163% in 2008. Such Raw Material price volatility can be managed effectively with strategic Raw Material Management.
Raw Material Management has become crucial to the survival of manufacturing companies, as the company's bottom line was affected due to large input pricing volatility. Managing Raw Material effectively provides benefits like increased security of supply, improvement in supply chain operations, and earnings growth by 2 to 5% annually.
This presentation outlines a 4-phased approach to Raw Material Management. Raw Material Management helps in effectively managing external and internal factors that favor how Raw Materials are transformed into the finished product. Raw Materials Management practices ensure price reliability and can build a significant Competitive Advantage.
This deck also contains slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT delves into the critical aspects of Raw Material Management, emphasizing the importance of separating market myths from truths to develop effective strategies. It provides a comprehensive guide on managing large-scale raw material requirements, addressing key factors such as supply chain transparency, demand fluctuations, and strategic procurement.
The presentation also highlights the necessity of a structured approach, outlining a 4-phased methodology that includes defining a strategic agenda, establishing supply chain transparency, managing raw material risk, and creating strategic organizational processes. This ensures that manufacturing companies can mitigate risks, optimize supply chain operations, and achieve a competitive edge in the market.

This PPT slide outlines the critical components of a Raw Material Strategic Agenda, emphasizing its dependence on a manufacturing company's overall business strategy and market conditions. The agenda is influenced by several factors, primarily the company's growth plan, which serves as a foundation for strategic decisions.
Raw material supply security is highlighted as a vital concern, particularly in the context of price volatility. This indicates that manufacturers must be proactive in managing their supply chains to mitigate risks associated with fluctuating raw material costs. The slide also points to the competitive landscape, where existing and future backward integration strategies of competitors can significantly impact a manufacturer’s approach to raw material sourcing.
Another key aspect is the evolving requirements for raw materials driven by new product developments. This suggests that manufacturers need to stay agile and responsive to changes in product demand, which may further complicate their raw material strategies.
The highlighted risks associated with raw material supply extend beyond mere availability. Environmental concerns and other risks necessitate a strategic approach to future supply and demand management. The slide advocates for sustainable resource development, indicating that manufacturers should invest in technologies that not only address current needs, but also anticipate future challenges.
Lastly, the note on managing raw material volatility suggests that while strategies may be in place, they do not inherently shield the company from broader market volatility. This serves as a reminder that a comprehensive approach is essential for navigating the complexities of raw material management effectively.
This PPT slide outlines a structured four-phased approach to Raw Material Management, emphasizing its strategic importance in manufacturing. The first phase, "Define a Strategic Raw Material Agenda," focuses on setting clear objectives for raw material acquisition and management. This foundational step is crucial for aligning raw material strategies with broader operational goals.
The second phase, "Establish Supply Chain and Raw Material Transparency," highlights the need for a transparent supply chain. This transparency is essential for effective management of external and internal factors that influence raw material sourcing and procurement. It aims to ensure that the right materials are available when needed, which is vital for maintaining production efficiency.
The third phase, "Manage Raw Material Risk," addresses the inherent uncertainties in raw material sourcing. This involves identifying potential risks and implementing strategies to mitigate them, ensuring that supply disruptions do not adversely affect production schedules or costs.
Finally, the fourth phase, "Create Strategic Organization and Processes," focuses on developing the organizational structure and processes necessary to support effective raw material management. This phase aims to integrate the previous steps into a cohesive framework that enhances operational efficiency and responsiveness.
Overall, the slide conveys that effective Raw Material Management is not just about procurement, but involves a comprehensive strategy that can significantly reduce costs and mitigate risks associated with price volatility. This structured approach can help organizations achieve their operational objectives while maintaining quality and efficiency.
This PPT slide outlines 5 key procurement strategies aimed at managing raw material risk, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to supply chain innovation and transparency. The central theme is that effective raw material procurement can significantly lower costs and mitigate supply-demand imbalances.
The first strategy, "Strategically define the deal," suggests that manufacturers should carefully structure procurement agreements to optimize input costs. This involves understanding market dynamics and crafting deals that are beneficial in the long term.
"Foster strategic alliances" is the second strategy, highlighting the importance of building long-term relationships with key suppliers. Such alliances can secure stable contracts and ensure a consistent supply of raw materials at lower costs.
The third strategy, "Build up the supplier base," encourages manufacturers to develop relationships with new suppliers. This diversification can enhance bargaining power and reduce dependency on a limited number of sources, thereby lowering costs and ensuring supply security.
"Integrate vertically" is the fourth strategy, which advocates for backward integration. This means manufacturers should consider acquiring or merging with suppliers to gain direct control over raw material sources, further stabilizing supply chains.
Lastly, "Redefine demand" suggests that manufacturers can adjust product design and production processes to minimize reliance on scarce raw materials. This flexibility can lead to reduced risk exposure and better management of price fluctuations.
Overall, the slide provides a structured framework for organizations looking to enhance their procurement strategies, ensuring they remain resilient in the face of raw material challenges. Each strategy is interconnected, reinforcing the need for a holistic approach to raw material management.
This PPT slide outlines 3 fundamental forces that influence the volatility of raw material prices: Supply Situation, Demand Situation, and Key Input. Each of these components is critical for understanding the dynamics that affect pricing in the raw materials market.
The Supply Situation section highlights several factors that determine the availability of raw materials. It emphasizes the importance of current supply capacity within a specific geographic region, as well as the impact of import and export flows. Import/export duties also play a role, affecting cost structures. Additionally, inventory levels maintained at manufacturing locations are crucial, as they can buffer against supply disruptions.
In the Demand Situation segment, the focus shifts to the drivers of raw material demand. Major economic activities in the region are identified as key influencers, alongside investments made in the area. The slide notes the significance of activity in key demand markets, which can shift based on economic conditions. A noteworthy point is the potential for demand to be affected by lower-priced substitute products, indicating that market dynamics can quickly change based on competitive offerings.
The Key Input section encompasses a broader range of factors that affect raw materials and supply chains. It includes considerations such as manufacturing capacity and transport capabilities within the region. Natural disasters are also mentioned, highlighting the unpredictable nature of external factors that can disrupt supply chains.
Understanding these elements is essential for any organization looking to navigate the complexities of raw material pricing effectively. The insights provided can help in making informed decisions regarding sourcing and inventory management.
