Managing suppliers is about much more than getting what your contract says you should get from your supplier.
It’s about:
- Getting great performance from your suppliers
- Managing risks in your supply chain
- Ensuring you get innovation from your suppliers
- Making sure your stakeholders and customers get what they need
- Maximising value for money from your supplier relationships
- Making sure the relationship works for both parties
- Preventing or mitigating problems
It’s not easy! To manage suppliers successfully you will need:
- Great people to manage suppliers
- The right processes and tools
- Management information
- The right technology – which can be inexpensive if you choose well
At SMaRT we focus on providing high quality, low cost supplier management tools, and the support organisations need to use them effectively.
