This PPT slide, part of the 29-slide Kraljic Matrix PowerPoint presentation, outlines the critical actions organizations must take to optimize their purchasing strategies, focusing on both long-term supply security and short-term gains. It emphasizes the need for a thorough examination of various supply scenarios, urging organizations to clearly define the associated risks, costs, returns, and strategic implications of each option. A structured approach is recommended, where a preferred supply option is developed with specific goals and actions, requiring leadership approval prior to implementation.
The slide suggests that the outcome of this analysis should be a comprehensive collection of purchasing material plans. These plans should detail parameters and timelines for further action, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned. When suppliers hold more power than the organization, it advises consolidating purchases with a single supplier to manage costs effectively. This strategy may involve accepting higher prices while ensuring that full volume requirements are met through supply contracts.
On the other hand, if the organization has a stronger position than its suppliers, it should consider diversifying its sources. This could involve leveraging multiple suppliers to take advantage of pricing opportunities, reducing inventory levels, and optimizing purchasing strategies. The slide also hints at the potential benefits of in-house production as a means to mitigate the risks associated with reliance on a single supplier. Overall, the insights provided here are crucial for organizations looking to enhance their procurement strategies and achieve significant cost savings.
