Business need for a common SRM Model
• Agilent has realized significant savings and other benefits from outsourcing
services previously delivered in-house
• Increased reliance on external providers has made effective Supplier
Relationship Management (SRM) critical
• However, Agilent has lacked a common model and results-oriented
approach for optimizing supplier relationship management
− Each function had defined its own approaches, tools, and processes for SRM
− Agilent had not fully transitioned from people management to SLA management
− Roles and responsibilities for SRM had not been clearly defined, reducing
effectiveness and proliferating “vendor managers”
• As a result, there were clear business need to design and implement a
common SRM model to enable leveraging a COMMON process and methodology
across the supply base.

Key Best Practices for Model Development:
Supplier Stratification
•Stratification Based on
Both Qualitative and
Quantitative Information –
Lockheed Martin
•Use spend and qualitative
consideration on region
and criticality
•Stratification Process

Supplier stratification process
One of the key activities in the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)
effort was to stratify suppliers in the areas like HR, WPS, IT and Marketing
etc.
Supplier Stratification was required to effectively prioritized supplier
relationship management focus on strategic and core suppliers
The stratification exercise also revealed that approx 30% of the spend $$$
were with the “tail” of ~4,400 basic suppliers across the areas
Agilent has an opportunity to realize savings in the short term by rationalizing
suppliers in specific target categories where significant savings opportunities
exist
11. TLS Congress
IT, WPS, HR, and Marketing, all categories where SRM is underway, each have a
long supplier “tail”
The “tail”:
• Average of 30+% of spend
• ~4,400 suppliers (98%)

Strategic Suppliers:
Critical to operations of functional group(s) and to long-term

functional goals
Potential incremental value from developing ongoing
relationship
Difficult to replace
Basic Suppliers:
Short-term, transactional relationships
Minimal investment
Purely cost-driven performance management
Do Not Do Business With
Strategic Company-Wide Partners:
Qualified as Strategic Supplier

Key Best Practices for Model Development:
SRM Governance
• Executive Board Oversees SRM Program
– Tropicana
• GIOCO established but only temporary
role
• Formal SRM Processes and Roles – BP • Structured relationships and roles exist
for several large suppliers
• Cross-functional SRM Business Office for
Strategic Suppliers
• Business office exists formally for several
suppliers and informally for a small
number of strategic suppliers
• SRM Lead – BP • Often exists, but clearly defined and
agreed to in only a few specific cases
• Formal Skill Assessment Program –
Agilent IT Pilot
• IT has developed a best practice skills
program and is piloting and expanding
• Formal Issue Escalation Process – Rolls
Royce
• Not formalized in many relationships, but
documented for several large
relationships for HP, JCI, and Oracle
• Internal MBOs Aligned With SRM Goals
and Activities – Nordstrom
• Perception that MBOs are highly cost
focused
• Individual MBOs may not be aligned with
SRM goals

Key Best Practices for Model Development:
Supplier Development
• Formal Supplier Development Program –
Procter & Gamble • No formalized development program
• Gain-Sharing Incentivizes Development
and Cost-Cutting Activities – IBM • Focus is on penalties and not incentives
• Tiered Awards and Incentives Program –
Nordstrom • No formalized incentives program
• Joint Process Improvements – Solectron
• Performed in several areas including
logistics, MRO, and IT, but no structured
process
• Rigorous ROI Analysis – John Deere • Current process ad-hoc
• Continuous Improvement Commitment –
Boeing
• Some SLAs include continuous
improvement commitment, but not always
enforced
• Intellectual Capital Sharing – John Deere
• Some small attempts (HR, IT & Marketing)
with mixed results
• Specific gap around codes of conduct

Supplier Development challenges and needs
Development NeedsSupplier Relationship Challenges
Continuous
Improvement
• Corporate/Functional objectives require year-on-year cost
and/or service level improvements
• Competition drives need to identify and implement best
practices
• Ineffective processes and systems in relationship drive
increased costs and reduce performance
Examples
Capability Gap
Closure
• Supplier does not offer the services and/or products that
Agilent needs
• Supplier does not have the global capabilities to meet
Agilent objectives
• Supplier has capabilities that require further development
to meet Agilent requirements
• HR service provider
lacked the employee
services functionality
required
• TBD
Value Creation
• Few contracts encourage suppliers to identify
opportunities to add value to Agilent
• Lack of process to identify new value creation ideas
• Lack of incentives for suppliers to identify new
opportunities
• Logistics Function
sought creative
approaches for
additional cost
savings
23. TLS Congress
Benefits of implementing SRM
Increased supplier performance
visibility and accountability
Aligned Corporate, Functional, and
Supplier objectives
Streamlined governance activities with
a “Single Agilent Face” to suppliers
Stratified supply base and greater
visibility into supply relationship
priorities and criticality
Immediate Impacts of SRM
Year-on-year cost-reductions and
continuous performance improvement
Supplier agreements support business
performance and extract maximum
supplier value
Realization of internal efficiencies and
reduction in supply management costs
Stronger and more strategic supplier
relationships with reduced supply
costs and risks
Long-Term Benefits of SRM

Agilent Business .. Premier measurement company !!! Focusing on three key businesses namely EMG, STS and Bio Analytical/LSCA
Supported by Global Infrastructure … R&D Lab and Shared services GIO
&lt;number&gt;
&lt;number&gt;
NEED for a COMMON Supplier management program .. Just indirects ..16,000 suppliers…every function group and business “own” and “manage” suppliers … duplication or R&Rs .. No clear accountability !!!
Supplier them selves confuse .. “customer” is always right
