This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Purchasing Chessboard PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for "Smart Spend Management," emphasizing its importance within the strategic procurement function. It highlights that this approach is particularly beneficial in low-demand, low-supply markets, which are common in indirect material categories like maintenance, repair, and operations. The focus is on leveraging 4 key procurement levers: Co-sourcing, Demand Management, Commercial Data Mining, and Volume Bundling.
Each lever is associated with specific methods aimed at optimizing procurement strategies. For instance, Co-sourcing involves collaboration with suppliers and stakeholders to enhance sourcing effectiveness. Demand Management emphasizes controlling and reducing demand through various techniques, including compliance and contract management. Commercial Data Mining focuses on extracting insights from procurement data to inform decision-making, while Volume Bundling seeks to consolidate purchases across different categories or suppliers to achieve better pricing and terms.
The slide outlines 16 associated methods under these 4 levers, providing a comprehensive view of actionable strategies. These methods include Compliance Management, Closed Loop Spend Management, and Supplier Consolidation, among others. The emphasis on data-driven approaches, such as Cost Data Mining and Spend Transparency, indicates a shift towards more informed and strategic procurement practices.
Overall, this slide serves as a guide for organizations looking to enhance their procurement capabilities. It underscores the need for a structured approach to managing spend effectively, ultimately aiming to reduce costs while increasing value. The framework is designed to help executives understand how to navigate the complexities of procurement in challenging market conditions.
