SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
REDUCE SPEND BY RATIONALIZING THE SUPPLIER BASE
To reduce global spend, A&D manu- facturers first need to see it. But with multiple procurement systems and a persistent lack of enterprise-wide purchasing visibility, many initiatives to control spend and rationalize the supplier base never get off the ground.
WHAT ANALYSTS RECOMMEND
A&D manufacturers need to consoli- date systems to get a handle on spend, aggregate demand, and negotiate favorable terms with trusted suppliers. Then they need a way to enforce con- tract agreements down to the procure- ment level to realize the benefits of negotiated agreements. This requires business analytics, master data man- agement, supply chain management, and supplier relationship management capabilities.
WHAT SAP OFFERS
Powerful business intelligence and master data management capabilities, provided by the SAP NetWeaver™ platform, help A&D manufacturers analyze spend and consolidate demand. Sophisticated supplier relationship management capabilities help close the loop between sourcing and pro- curement so that companies can reap the benefits of negotiated supply agreements.
