Reduce Supplier Risk. Increase Supplier Collaboration. Encourage Supplier Innovation. Emptoris Sourcing

Whether it’s the credit crisis posing the risk of rising supplier bankruptcies or concerns about low-cost country suppliers delivering a tainted commodity impacting your domestic production line, supplier risks have become the hot topic in today’s executive boardrooms. Best-in-class companies are proactively and continuously re-evaluating their supply chains to identify and support key partners and eliminate "weak link" suppliers. Recent headlines alone will tell you that managing supplier risk is not just about your suppliers, it’s about mitigating significant cost risks and ensuring the survival of your business.

Ensure that only high quality, secure and reliable suppliers participate in sourcing events
Factor on-time delivery, quality, customer service, and other performance ratings directly into your sourcing analysis
Identify and flag vendor performance and issues before they have a significant negative impact on the business
Stem Over-Allocation: Allow suppliers to create their own capacity constraints.
Enforce corporate purchasing policies (e.g., budgetary limits, contractual obligations, and vendor count or capacity allocation limits)
Evaluate Real-Time Sourcing Trade-Offs (e.g., What is the opportunity cost of sourcing from two vendors to hedge supply base risk?)
