Editor's Notes
Why do this? How, what’s the value?
Better analyze your suppliers to highlight risks and opportunities
Different types of risk based o category
Supply risk (earth quake, shortage of raw material etc.) Fukushima, A key element is a chemical for lithium-ion batteries, used in mobile phones, tablets and laptops, for which 70% of the production comes from a Japanese factory shut by the quake
Supplier risk – CSR aspect – black listed supplier, not compliant with Company policy, financial unstable
Opportunity – consolidate or distribute supplier base based on Category supply risk and criticality
Why do this?
- The reason is: To identify and understand the risks for you company. There are different kinds of risks, you need to identify them and mitigate/manage them
How:
Spend data
Segment direct vs indirect
Critical vs non critical goods
High value vs low value
Prioritize

Supplier behavior risk – CSR aspect – black listed supplier, not compliant with Company policy, or an financial unstable supplier – impacts on supply. You do not want to transact with such suppliers and if you have them are they critical?
Opportunity – consolidate or distribute supplier base based on Category supply risk and criticality
the change that you are driving
Use goods receipt and quality inspections to highlight contract compliance/non-compliance
Contract management includes negotiating the terms and conditions in contracts and ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions, as well as documenting and agreeing on any changes that may arise during its implementation or execution.
Get deeper insight into the processes through measurement:
Procurement cycle time
The average time it takes between requisition submission and purchase order placement is one measure of procurement cycle time.
Also when supporting the whole purchase to pay the importance of the purchase requisition approval is also meaningful and tracking the bottlenecs in that process can prevent mavering buying – which happens if the normal process is not working
Percentage of the suppliers accounting for the 80% of the spend
This KPI measures the current state of supplier consolidation and activity within supply base
Managed spend as percentage of total spend
Managed spend is the amount of spend that the purchasing department influences throuth the strategic sourcing process. Total spend is the amount of money organization spend on
products and services each year. This does not include labor cost.
Spend under management (SOM) is as high as 85% in companies with best in class strategic sourcing organizations.
Contract compliance
- as a separate topic
Summary:
Capturing baseline KPI information within the supply base promotes ongoing supplier compliance and identifies areas of opportunity
Actively measuring these top 10 KPI’s is the key to continuous improvement across an organization’s supply base.
Benchmarking KPI’s against other best in class procurement organizations creates procurement goals and targets.
Why do this?
Get deeper insight into the processes through measurement:
How to start?
Define or streamline your procurement Key Performance Indicator metrics
Follow them on a frequent (monthly basis)
Example: Procurement cycle time
The average time it takes between requisition submission and purchase order placement is one measure of procurement cycle time.
Also when supporting the whole purchase to pay the importance of the purchase requisition approval is also meaningful and tracking the bottlenecs in that process can prevent mavering buying – which happens if the normal process is not working
Contact OpusCapita Consulting: we’ll define the KPI’s together in the Best Practice Workshops in presales phase or when implementation is agreed
What is the value?
Capturing baseline KPI information within the supply base promotes ongoing supplier compliance and identifies areas of Procurement improvement opportunities
Benchmarking KPI’s against other best in class procurement organizations creates procurement goals and targets
What to avoid?
Keep it simple, start with few concrete enough KPI’s and follow the change

But also a spend analysis based on Invoices will show seasonal fluctuations in the spend and thereby in the cash needed.
Typically the spend is concentrated to H1 and also Nov/Dec are intense months
Also With PO’s on the majority of the spend the forecasting is made easier. Short term the liquidity needed can be forcasted, since the PO aslo have their approved Payment terms, making it possible to forecast
Why?
To understand the Liquidity needs over time and the drivers
Be able to do liquidity forecasting and hedge for difficult times
How?
- Focus on long term vs. short term
Long term
- Segment Direct vs Indirect categories
- Payment terms
- Identify patterns
Short term
- Check current PO’s
