The document discusses strategies for reducing supply chain costs, including using third-party logistics (3PL) providers, RFID outsourcing, and attribute-based demand planning. It defines these strategies and examines how each can significantly lower supply chain costs. For small-to-medium businesses especially, 3PLs and RFID outsourcing allow companies to benefit from large infrastructures without the associated costs. Attribute-based demand planning also enables inventory reductions through product differentiation.
Drivers & Inhibitors for the Uptake of e-Sourcing Tools – The CIPS I-source P...Jon Hansen
eWorld Purchasing & Supply Conference
Day 1 - September 28th, 2010
14:00 to 14:30 State of the Nation: Drivers & Inhibitors for the Uptake of e-Sourcing Tools – The CIPS I-source Project
Overview:
Early adopters were starting to use e-sourcing tools about 10 years ago. In 2004, CIPS and the University of the West of England conducted a comprehensive research project called I-Adapt, examining the after-effects of using e-auctions on the Buyer-Supplier relationship. Five years on, another investigation aimed to assess the extent to which e-sourcing tools have been adopted in both the public and private sector. The findings provide a fascinating insight into the key enablers that support adoption and the key inhibitors that prevent it…

Procurement training course -introduction to procurementSheila Elliott
Business Services Support offers its introduction to procurement training course for buyers. Buyers learn how to procure goods and services effectively to maximise value for their organisation. Value is a concept that many are unclear about. Procurement adds value through better product development, increased customer satisfaction, improved net cash flow and profitability and much more. Our course materials help you understand the nitty gritty of effective purchasing and procurement skills.
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
The time is ripe for BPO firms to explore other engagement models that can provide the clients with the efficiency gains and the BPO firms with additional opportunities to retain their gross margins levels. As a bonus effect such models may also help recover the projected reduction in revenues.

S2 p strategic opportunity-s2p-implementation-0113-1Dr Gordon Murray
Addressing S2P (Source-to-Pay) is necessary for organisations today in order to reduce transaction costs, but that alone is not enough to drive real cost reduction and bottom line profitability. To derive the maximum benefit, organisations need to seize the opportunity created by the disruption of a S2P implementation to radically transform the way in which procurement is carried out throughout the organisation. This paper provides suggestions on how to make the most of the opportunity created by S2P implementation and makes recommendations on how to maximise the benefits,

KEY ELEMENTS OF SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
A supply chain strategy involves many interlocking activities and decisions, large and small. According
to Michael Porter, strategy guru and author of Competitive Advantage, successful business strategy relies
on the concept of “fit”—that is, a group of activities that support a chosen competitive strategy.
Although any single activity can be copied, the activities taken together form a system that is virtually
impossible to duplicate.9
Porter’s concept of fitness holds equally true for supply chain strategy. Five elements of your
business—and the choices you make regarding these elements—are fundamental:
Customer service. What are your objectives in terms of delivery speed, accuracy, and
flexibility?
Sales channels. How will your customers order and receive your goods and services?
Value system. Which supply chain activities will be performed by your organization and which
by your partners?
Operating model. How will you organize the planning, ordering, production, and delivery
processes to provide customer service while still meeting your working capital and cost
objectives?
Asset footprint. Where will you locate your supply chain resources, and what is their scope of
action?
Companies often make decisions about each of these elements in isolation, without considering the
others. It’s possible, for example, to develop a manufacturing footprint that reduces costs, only to fall
short of required customer-service levels. To get the full strategic benefit a supply chain can offer,
however, it’s critical to treat each element as part of an integrated whole (Figure 1.2).

CUSTOMER SERVICE
The first step in developing a supply chain strategy is to define customer service objectives. Offering
various levels of delivery speed, accuracy, and flexibility for different types of customers can help
distinguish the overall customer experience. Should, for example, deliveries reach all customers in the
same amount of time, or should customers who are more valuable receive deliveries faster? Should the
ordering process be the same for all customers? Answers to questions like these will be dictated by your
company’s business strategy and target audience—that is, whether you are addressing B2C or B2B
segments.
Business to Consumer
In the B2C world, off-the-shelf product availability is often the key service criterion. Customers are
willing to wait for hot products from a leading brand—but only up to a point. Retailer Nordstrom
