Customer demands Market trends Technology Globalisation Increase in 'world-class' competition Sustainability – environmental awareness Laws and regulations Franchising/Mergers
Businesses need to improve their management practices to stay competitive.
Successful businesses are able to satisfy customers’ needs with high quality products and services at reasonable cost.
Insufficiencies can no longer be passed on to the customers in the form of increased prices.
A strategic supply will sustain the competitive position and ensure consistent quality.
Companies take the holistic view of the entire supply process.
Promotes sound decision making for the use of resources.
Contributes to bottom line.
Traditionally purchasing has long been thought of as being responsible for the management of a firm’s inputs, i.e. raw materials and services into a organisation.
Value Creation
Purchasing is the acquisition of inputs into the firm. Strategic supply is the management of inputs and the transformation process, which includes the structuring of the supply activity of the firm.
Value Creation
Structured strategic supply management approaches are designed to give the firm a competitive position.
Competitive advantage, therefore, is derived from the value that a business creates for its customers.
The competitive advantage from a newstrategic focus to purchasing comes from: improved responsiveness and flexibility for
customers. improved efficiency and reduced supply
costs. and win-win strategies involving
collaboration rather than competition. Reduction of risk.

Discussion;What makes a good supplier?
Food borne-illness incidents, regardless of the cause, have an impact on the reputation of the caterers and suppliers business.
Discussion;How do you check and control quality of
goodsand services?
Clear specifications (High expectation = High performance).
Win-Win philosophy, both in negotiations and contracts.
Collaboration rather than competition. Use of par-stock levels and shared
information. Tendency to move towards fewer suppliers,
build relationships. Just in Time Purchasing (JIT), less capital
tied up in stocks.
Inventory turnover, average of approx 20 times per year for food. 8.5 times for beverages.
% of sales volume, food, non-food and beverage products in inventory that are equal in dollar amount to no more than 1% of its annual sales volume.
Rule of thumb, inventory should not be more than approx one-third of the average monthly product costs.
Maximum par stock 11 cases Minimum par stock 2 cases Lead time next day delivery Order day Tuesday Usage rate one case per day Function request 5 cases for
tomorrow nightYour order would be; 11-1(stock in hand on day of delivery) + 5
(for function that night) = 15 to order.
Shed old habits and build a new mind set. Continued existence of the “opportunist
approach”, seeing short-term price cuts against long term cost reduction. This traditional model of price driven procurement is hard to change.
Staffing skill levels lacking e.g. technology, development of supply strategy
A great many purchasing functions have little perception of the overall corporate strategy.
Getting top management on board to see the purchasing function as strategic.

Yes – things do go better with a plan Need to figure out what/when/how and
the associated resources you will need
Strategic Plans are management tools for success and important for communication with other parties (eg staff and suppliers)
Things can go horribly wrong without a plan…

Everyone would have worn a vest, jumper, coat, scarf, gloves... no arguments!
She would have asked questions: research She would have made a long list: planning Welfare of those involved would have
informed her decision making: team-building
Explained to everyone why they needed winter clothes: communication & leadership
Strategic supply management can be complex and demanding.
Establishing and maintaining relationships with supply chain participants is the most challenging aspect.
Managers must work hard to build trust and inevitably, resolve conflict.
Adopt a leadership approach and develop supply strategies that are directly related to their overall business objectives.
These supply strategies must go beyond the narrow focus of cost reduction to managing the supply chain network to increase their competitiveness in many other ways.
