On Focus: Strategic Sourcing
Strategic Sourcing relates to getting the best products and services at the best value. It is designed to segment external spend and ensure that procurement resources are focused on the most important categories. What sets strategic sourcing apart is its continuous attention to improving and re-evaluating the purchasing activities of a company, thus enabling organisations to adapt to changing market forces.
Strategic Sourcing delivers the lowest total cost of materials and services, while improving service quality and typically, 1% purchasing cost reduction has the same impact on profit as a 10% increase in turnover. As globalization changes the basis of competition, sourcing is moving from the periphery of corporate functions to the core. But only by first taking a broad, strategic view of capabilities sourcing can your company gain the greatest benefit from all of its sourcing choices.
