Business Challenge
As supply chains become increasingly more complex, global performance visibility is vital to ensuring a well functioning supply chain and business. Companies are re-evaluating their supply chains to identify and support key partners and reduce the number of potential "weak link" suppliers. However, they need advance notification to proactively manage the unexpected and reduce risk to the business.
Create Collaboration:
- Move from traditional, transactional relationships to reciprocal, collaborative supplier relationships by stepping away from a singular focus on price in online negotiations to a focus on total value
- Negotiate lower prices and more favorable terms through volume purchasing
- Lower total cost of ownership, improve product quality, and accelerate time-to-market
Encourage Supplier Innovation:
- Expose suppliers to more specific bid recommendations other than those available through traditional reverse auctions
- Increase price transparency across the supply base to heighten competition
- Quickly respond to changes in demand and price
Key components found in Emptoris Supplier Performance Management provide companies with global visibility:
- Management Portal provides a central access point for all information, enabling companies to identify supplier trends, unexpected disruptions or performance issues in advance.
- Scorecards provide companies the ability to view supplier performance on the spot or over a period of time, allowing companies to compare the performance of the suppliers to those of their peers.
- KPIs (key performance indicators) allow companies to view the progress of their suppliers ensuring they get early warnings if suppliers are under-performing.
- Alerts let companies know when their suppliers are operating outside pre-established tolerances. Color-coded status buttons quickly flag potential areas for the company to focus on.
