Optimizing Prices of Outsourced Services | How to make benchmarking work for ...Everest Group
Pricing dynamics in the outsourcing market have witnessed a multitude of changes over the last 12 to 24 months. While enterprise buyers are looking to benchmark their current procured rates, many of them are not realizing the full benefits. In most cases, the pitfall is the quality of benchmark normalization and the lack of underlying context.
Are you saving the most you can from your outsourcing arrangement?
A Study Report on Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE)Avijeet Suryavanshi
This Project Report presents the basic fundamental of value engineering that can be implemented in any product to optimize its value. A case study of L&T Technology Services is discussed in
which the material, design of components is changed according to the value engineering methodology. In the present case study, it is observed that the unnecessary increase in cost is due
to the use of expensive material, increase in variety of items and thereby increasing the inventory and so on. Therefore, selected some components and applied value engineering technique for the cost reduction of these components.
Value Engineering is an effective tool in identifying areas where cost reduction can be achieved.
In order to effectively do this, various approaches in specific areas of focus are discussed in this report.
This presentation is designed to give purchasing, materials, supply management, sourcing, contracting, logistics, acquisition and procurement personnel a process of value measurement to quantify the value of purchased goods or services. Learn how to use Value Analysis to target goods and services where cost can be reduced, performance improved, quality enhanced, non-essentials eliminated, downsized, or consolidated through a step-by-step process of value identification and measurement.
The genesis of value analysis and value engineering can be traced to similar, parallel developments in the late 1940’s taking place at General Electric Company and Ford Motor Company. As a concept definition: it is the organized and systematic effort and study directed at analyzing the functional requirements of the system, product, equipment, facility, service or project for the purpose of achieving the lowest overall total cost at the best value. This means consistent with the needed performance, reliability, quality, and maintainability.
Join the trend of many purchasing, sourcing, contracting, and supply management organizations who are reaping the rewards of Value Analysis (VA) and Value Engineering (VE) as a practical tool to improve performance and reduce the cost of goods and services. Their experience with cost reduction projects reveals that by merely determining what things cost and documenting cost breakdowns, one can reduce costs 5%. Improving the choice of material, conceptual design, and methods can further reduce cost by another 10%. Finally, developing a better way to perform what a project or a service was originally intended to do, one can save even more—20-30% and beyond!
Not convinced of the critical importance of value analysis/value engineering VA/VE--- then you must not be interested in product enhancement, service concept augmentation, cost reduction, and profit improvement. Those kinds of payoffs don’t come easily, however. Success depends on three things: understanding of the concept by those who will be involved, strong top management support, and enthusiastic team or project oriented direction to get and keep the program rolling.
No wonder that Purchasing magazine for years dedicated an annual issue to its “Value Analysis of the Year” Awards. Why? According to experts, VA/VE can make a difference: simple projects can take anywhere from one day to six weeks to implement with savings up to $2,000; intermediate projects can range from six weeks to six months with savings of $2,000 to $10,000; and complex projects can take six months to six years with savings ranging from $10,000 to $1 million.

Procurement training courses can be good to company owners or managers who are seeking to increase their businesses success. Here is a power point presentation that will let you know more about this course
During 2010 and H1-2011 billing rates remained stable. However, from H2-2011, in light of growing demands, the rates increased by 5%-8%. Vendors juggle with multiple forces - tight economic situation, flat budgets, rising cost structures, increased competition and new initiatives to increase productivity value.
The Art of Planning and Writing Specifications and Requirements Thomas Tanel
One of the most difficult tasks that purchasers face is converting user or internal customer needs to new specifications and requirements. For most, it’s easier said than done, while others simply dread the thought of constructing a Statement of Work. Failure to develop a properly defined scope of work, specification, or requirement may mean the solicitation will need to be abandoned and repeated with corrections. Purchasers who are involved in putting together specifications, requirements, or SOWs need to be aware that it is worth the investment, time, and effort to create a high quality outcome. Thus, it is important that purchasers understand the importance of good specifications and requirements, as well as their contractual and practical significance.
This presentation will offer you practical techniques, tools, and process methods for constructing effective specifications, requirements, and SOWs.
Key areas of focus that will be discussed in this workshop are:
Internal customer or user needs
The importance of a scope of work
SOWs and work requirements
The Statement of Work
Writing specifications and requirements
The world is changing – how about your Operations Strategy?
The world is changing rapidly – same goes for your customers and suppliers. You are required to constantly improve your operations. Is optimising your current operating model sufficient or do you need to rethink?
A great Operations Strategy is what makes the sum of all operational capabilities of your business a competitive advantage.
Does your Operations Strategy fit in relation to environmental changes or changes in future customer demand?

An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing, used to fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items, and is usually created in accordance with standardized conventions for layout, nomenclature, interpretation, appearance size, etc.
Its purpose is to accurately and unambiguously capture all the geometric features of a product or a component. The end goal of an engineering drawing is to convey all the required information that will allow a manufacturer to produce that component.
