Summary

Introduction

This review report looks at the strategic issues within manufacturing companies with respect to supplier relationship management. It also covers SRM software, and the market opportunity for vendors targeting this space.

Scope

Looks at the strategic and technology issues surrounding SRM on a global basis.
Provides market opportunity sizing for the US, UK, France, Italy and Germany from 2004 till 2010.

Highlights

While many manufacturing companies may have a methodology in place for monitoring supplier performance, often this is in very limited areas across the company, with no single view of all suppliers. As such, it becomes impossible to compare the performance of suppliers across different business units, geographies or end-user markets.

Reasons to Purchase

Understand our full perspective on the issues and technology pertaining to supplier relationship management.
Assess the market opportunity for SRM software in five countries, across 16 manufacturing industries.

Supplier Relationship Management (Strategy Focus)
- Summary
- Identification and basic spend analysis are the starting point for SRM strategies
- Identifying those internally who are spending is key to understanding enterprise procurement
- Manufacturers are seeking to find out exactly who their suppliers are
- What is being bought remains a fundamental issues of improving spend
- Tracking the performance of suppliers can help manufacturers improve their relationships
- Key performance indicators form the basis of performance monitoring
- Accessing, displaying and sharing performance data is the key to extracting real benefits for manufacturers
- Procurement is where manufacturers stand to gain the most benefit from SRM
- Reducing rogue spend can affect a manufacturer's bottom line in a relatively short time
- Identifying the best suppliers, and then working with them, is the obvious step for manufacturers
- Contract management remains a key issue for companies looking to improve their procurement processes
- Strategic sourcing has been a hot topic, but it isn't for low-cost regions alone
- Low-cost region sourcing can yield significantly lower cost bases
- There are other areas of strategic sourcing that don't focus on low-cost regions
Srm Supports Supply Chain Development (Technology Focus)
- Summary
- Transactional SRM focuses on process automation and cost reduction
- Procurement is often the starting point for an SRM implementation
- Contracts remain the binding agent for supplier relationships
- Analytical SRM seeks to drive growth through business intelligence
- The core of any SRM strategy is spend analysis
- Strategic sourcing has grown in popularity among manufacturers
- The rationalization of suppliers can reduce risk and enhance leverage
- Discovering new suppliers is supported through a number of different possibilities
- Risk management is a growing demand for manufacturers investing in SRM
- Keeping track of supplier performance can help manufacturers seek out bad apples
- The market for SRM software in the manfuacturing industry is growing, but remains small
- At a global level, manufacturers are increasing their spend on SRM software
- Discrete manufacturers are investing the most in SRM software
- The high-tech industry leads the way for SRM investment
- Pharmaceutical manufacturers spend the most out of batch industries
- Process manufacturers spend significantly less on SRM software than other industries
