Strategic Sourcing and Negotiation Skills: Links

The document discusses three strategic sourcing principles: expenditure category strategy formulation, which determines a product's strategic importance; total supply cost, which considers all direct and indirect costs over a product's life; and negotiating philosophy, which relies on fact-based negotiations using a structured analytical framework to lower total system cost. Expenditure categories are classified based on their impact on a company's core business and future competitiveness. Total supply cost assessments include all costs involved with an item's purchase, from procurement through end of use. Successful strategic sourcing depends on negotiations that use rigorous analysis to reduce overall expenses.

concept unveils the total cost incurred by the buyer when purchasing

Strategic Sourcing Principles


Total Supply Cost
The benefits of using TSC include:
• Helps focus on total value, core business, quality, yields and cycle time
reduction
• Helps in understanding technical issues beyond price
• Makes it easy to negotiate and communicate based on facts
• Drives suppliers to work on the right issues
• Pinpoints and promotes continuous supplier performance improvement
• Provides in-depth knowledge of key costs and aids in quantifying actual
savings
• Aids in supplier development
• Improves internal and external communications
• Reduces subjectivity
• Allows purchasers to determine if “something is missing”

ability to undertake fact-based negotiations. These use a structured analytical
framework based upon rigorous analysis to achieve a lower total system cost.
