  • ABC Analysis for buying activity
  • Long Range Capacity Planning
  • Customer focus vs. Commodity focus
  • Design Products looks like a different customer
    Segment
  • It would be acceptable to focus some purchasing
    activity on the unique components in the segment
  • But there is no reason to segregate ALL
    components by Customer Mostly common resistors,
    etc
  • You cant scale your purchasing department every
    time you get a new customer!

Term Project
  • Group Research Study Project
  • Learning will be enhanced by observing or
    studying how actual organizations manage and
    leverage their Supply organizations.
  • Students will research a local company and submit
    a written and classroom presentation. The scope
    of the presentation is to include
  • How the Supply Management function is organized
  • How requirements are established
  • How suppliers are selected and prices are
    negotiated
  • Supply interaction with other functional groups
    in the organization
  • How the transportation and logistics process is
    organized and executed
  • Use of Technology
  • Other
  • Included in the 9 Elements of the Supply
    Management Process

13
Price
14
Definitions
Price
What the seller is paid for goods and services
provided
Cost
The expenses incurred in operating the
enterprise, making and buying materials, and
converting the materials to finished goods
Value
The difference between Price and Cost
Affordability
The ability to pay, without compromising cash
balances
15
Price
  • Market Price
  • Not necessarily based on supplier cost
  • Important for comparing alternative suppliers
  • Required when deciding whether to make in-house
    or buy
  • Good for discovering improvement opportunities
    for your business
  • Suppliers have to make profits to stay in
    business
  • It is important to know what is a reasonable
    price and profit are

The Selling Price is MUCH more dependent on
the MARKET than on Cost
16
Cost
17
Types of Costs
Direct Cost
Specifically assigned to a given unit of
production Examples are component materials,
assembly labor
Indirect Cost
Necessary to operate the enterprise, but not
specifically assigned to a given unit of
production (e.g. Rent, management salaries)
Fixed Cost
Does not change, regardless of the number of
units produced Examples are Rent and advertising
Variable Cost
Vary directly proportionately with the number
of units produced Examples are BOM x units
produced
18
Relationship of Cost to Selling Price and Profit
1,000 Units
Average Cost 11.50 / unit
Selling Price 12.42 / unit

Comparison of Fixed Variable Costs with Volume
Understanding Supplier Fixed and Variable costs
is CRITICAL to any Negotiation
21
Value
22
Applying Value Principles to your Career
  • When you work, the company is BUYING what you are
    SELLING
  • The work you do is WORTH something. Your company
    will continue to pay you when the work you do is
    worth more to them than what you cost
  • Do more than your Job Description
  • You really are not paid to do a specific job you
    are paid to make money for your company
  • The more valuable that you are, the more you will
    get paid either by your company or the next
    company
  • Dont say, Its not my Job
  • Think like the Boss
  • Pick the BEST people and try to be like them
  • Dont look at how little the poor performers are
    doing and complain that you are doing more
  • Think about how you can be worth MORE than what
    you are being paid

23
Factoring Supplier Price in Buying Decisions
24
Pricing data varies for different Purchase Types
Raw Materials
Standard Production
Items of Small Value
Special Items
Services
Capital Goods
Resale
Raw Materials (Commodities)
  • Published market prices bought and sold in
    well-organized markets
  • Monitor trends for opportunities to leverage
    unexpected dips in price
  • Price indexes are available for escalator clauses

Standard Production and Items of Small Value
  • Can be found in catalogues from manufacturers,
    distributors, and retailers
  • Published list price, with opportunities for
    better prices based on volume
  • Good candidates for online buying, using searches
    and/or auctions
  • Frequently a broad category is covered by a
    single Sales Representative who pools buys for
    volume discounts

25
Quotations and Bidding
  • Qualify your bidders
  • Ability to execute the technical requirements
  • Potential to be a Partner
  • Include a reasonable number of bidders (not too
    many and not too few)
  • There must be NO appearance of favoritism
  • Specifications need to be VERY CLEAR and not open
    to interpretation
  • Price is not the only thing that matters
  • Firm bid first bid is the last bid too
  • BAFO Bid Best And Final Offer The potential
    supplier is given additional information after
    the initial bid and is given the opportunity to
    prove a second bid

Time and budget must be planned to account for
the effort of negotiations. Major negotiations
should be outside routine production support.
Production support should focus on delivery and
quality, with pricing previously negotiated
26
Alternatives when Bids are virtually Identical
  • Choose a supplier already doing business with you
  • Negotiate non-price concessions
  • Freight
  • Warranty
  • Consigned inventory
  • Choose a supplier with social benefits
  • Largest domestic content
  • Women and minority owned
  • Closest in proximity
  • Select based on recommendations by customers

Beware of Collusion
27
Key Elements of Negotiated Contracts
  • Price, Volume, Quality, Service
  • Price protection
  • Escalator clauses
  • Cancellation clauses
  • Liability
  • Ethical practices

Will be covered in a subsequent chapter
28
Make vs. Buy
29
Definitions
Make
Producing the product or service with
resources from your own enterprise
Buy
Purchasing the product or service produced
by resources from an outside supplier
Insourcing
Sourcing the product or service back in after
the original Buy decision
Outsourcing
Sourcing the product or service outside after
the original Make decision
30
Factors in deciding whether to Make or Buy
Reasons to Make (keep in-house)
Reasons to Buy (go outside)
  • Quantities too small for outside tooling and
    economies of scale
  • Quality requirements are too tight for outsider
    to produce
  • Manufacturing is a core competency
  • Greater assurance of supply with dedicated
    production capacity
  • Lower cost
  • Protect Intellectual Property
  • Avoid sole-source dependency
  • Distance to supplier too great
  • Significant customer requires it
  • Backup capacity
  • Manufacturing is not a core competency
  • Supplier has expertise in a technology or product
  • Greater capacity
  • More flexible capacity
  • Buying Modules or subassemblies, rather than many
    component parts, simplifies operations
  • Lower risk with multiple sources of Supply
  • Lower cost
  • Negotiated unit cost removes temptation to
    overbuild to absorb fixed cost
  • Good supplier in close proximity
  • Significant customer requires it
  • Open up new markets (e.g. NAFTA)

There is no single Right Answer that applies
to every business and every situation
31
Insourcing and Outsourcing
A Make or Buy decision can be reversed, or
modified, if business conditions justify it
Insourcing would be recommended when
  • Supplier no longer produces the product or goes
    out of business
  • Volumes become too low
  • Major price increases
  • Reinforce the linkage between Design and
    Production
  • Projected savings of Buy decision were not
    realized

Outsourcing would be recommended when
  • Capable suppliers have entered the market
  • Volumes increased dramatically
  • Major internal cost increases
  • Core competencies re-evaluated
  • IT systems enable effective communication and
    control
  • Government incentives

32
Risks of Outsourcing
  • Supplier priorities can be re-directed (often to
    competitors)
  • Limited control during times of scarcity
  • Original savings projections not realized
  • Additional fees and charges introduced after
    original agreement
  • Pricing and terms from the original agreement
    significantly changed in subsequent negotiations
  • Supply, Legal, Technical, and other resources are
    frequently re-directed to ensure benefits are
    achieved and relationships maintained
  • Customer, employee, market, or political
    criticism
  • Domestic vs. offshore
  • Union vs. non-union
  • Increased turnover of key individuals

33
The Role of Purchasing in Outsourcing
  • Ensure that an objective, fact-based decision
    process is in place
  • Provide several sources
  • Provide expertise in Requests for Proposals
  • Take the lead in developing and negotiating
    Contracts (with Legal)
  • Monitor and manage the ongoing relationship
  • Take the lead in negotiating subsequent contracts
    and identifying back-up suppliers over time
