 Do You Have These
Types of Procurement Expertise?


The scope of procurement work has grown to include much

more than it did in past. There are

five areas of expertise that employers seek in their

procurement team members.


1. Classic Procurement Expertise.
Classic procurement

expertise means being able to negotiate fantastic deals

from suppliers. To analyze spend to identify exactly

where savings opportunities are. To collaborate with

suppliers to take out cost, improve performance, and

gain a competitive advantage.


2. Category Expertise.
Category expertise refers to

thoroughly understanding the nuances of the products

and services you are responsible for buying. Knowing

what drives cost. Knowing what may constrain supplier

capacity. Knowing the technical details necessary to

ensure the optimum quality of delivered goods and

performed services.


3. Interpersonal Expertise.
Today's true procurement

professionals are not the type of people that sit at a

desk and stare at a computer screen the entire day.

They inspire internal customers to comply with

procurement initiatives. They persuade senior

management to give support to procurement strategies

and investments. They motivate cross-functional teams

to succeed at their projects.


4. Industry Expertise.
Industry expertise means knowing

how other similar organizations operate. What the

business cycle is in that industry. What differentiates

one competitor from another. And what possibilities

there are beyond doing things the way the organization

has always done them.


5. Organization Expertise. To
achieve maximum success in

the team environment in business today, procurement

professionals need to be familiar with the intricacies

of their own organizations. Who are the people whose

approval needs to be won? What processes must be

followed to avoid bureaucratic delays? And what

cultural constraints must be observed so that others

don't try to block the path to success?

 The primary objectives of companies post-pandemic are 'safe business operations',
'uninterrupted business operations' and 'integrated manufacturing operations'.


These three pillars of post-pandemic business are leading
companies to take up multiple actions to redesign the manufacturing value chain
in its entirety.


Some of the changes are obvious: Companies are going to get
their back-end chains closer to them, geographically. However, in order to
still keep cost and supply advantages, some parts of the back-end chain will
continue to remain in low-cost but efficient geographies.


Thus, there will be broadly two back-end chains, one, which
guarantees supplies during the 'Disruption Majeure' conditions, and the second
holds the cost during the normal, day to day business dealings.


Supply Chain Finance (SCF) then becomes a handy tool to
support this much needed cost efficiency.

 Category Management:
ONE Process – TWO Applications – ONE Result

The phrase - Category Management – is extensively used by two
extreme functions in an organisation viz. Procurement as well as Marketing,
especially CPG marketing.


It is interesting to note that Procurement applies category
management to spend the allocated money wisely and support growth ambitions of
Marketing.


Whereas,

Marketing deploys category management for growing the
business and earns cash for Procurement to spend wisely again.


And the circle continues…..endlessly and relentlessly.
