PROCUREMENT SERVICES
Global sourcing is a complex process for many purchasing managers. The
first question often asked is which country to source from. Mr.
Calabrese suggested two key considerations – labour force and
transportation infrastructure. He concluded that though many low cost
sourcing countries have made progress in these areas, China continues to
remain ahead of countries like India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and so on.
Now the question of which country to source from (at least as a starting
point) is resolved, the following question is: whether you should do it
on your own or hire someone to help you. The following three queries to
consider may offer additional help in your decision making process:
-
Is global sourcing a major part of
your corporate strategy? If you have not made a long-term
commitment to source globally, it makes sense to hire someone to
give you a quick start, hence relieving your precious resources to
focus on other more important matters.
-
Can you afford a long sourcing cycle
(from 8 to 12 months)? If time is of the essence, it makes sense
to hire someone to cut down the sourcing cycle.
-
Are you sourcing just a portion of
your materials from overseas? It makes sense to have someone
helping you if you are sourcing just a portion of your requirements
from overseas.
