Low-Cost Country Sourcing

LCCS is one part of the procurement strategy a business posses to reduce some cost that businesses have been investing in the business. This is one simple practice that a business performs to hire lower-cost resources from countries with lower labor charges than the business’s own. This is how a company can easily reduce its capital investment and reach the business’s objectives. Approaching a business with the low-cost country sourcing strategies requires the following steps to achieve a perfect solution.

 

  1. Understand the Requirement: First, you need to understand what kind of sources you require then choose the right country from where you can source at lower prices as well as lower taxation because sometimes taxation makes the price go beyond the savings you are targeting.
  2. Compare the Equation: Make an overall equation of the total coast of sourcing from another country including the tax and shipping/ traveling charges and compare it with the total amount of domestic hiring/ sourcing.
  3. Long Term Considerations: It might happen sometime that your cost of LCCS may go a little higher than the domestic prices. Then you need to consider looking into the future. You need to compare the quantity and need of the source you might end up with a zero-sum equation.
  4. Quality Products: Companies some time consider having their hands in lower quality products or make investment at the origin of the product only. This affects savings by LCCS in a good way.
  5. Politics Affects Saving: Politics may look like it is an out of the league thing but LCCS is directly connected with it. Change in the ruler party may increase or decrease the price of sourcing. So, keeping an eye on political stability will help you in selecting the right country.
  6. Be Prepared: If you are investing in a supplier then you might get yourself prepared for the loss. Create a backup plan and also calculate the loss amount.

Tail Spending Management

Tail Spending is been part of the procurement solutions but the thing is it was rarely acknowledged seriously. But now a day it is started being recognized. This takes measurement of all the spends that a business is making outside those big, large spendings. In other words, it takes care of all those transactions and spendings that are way too small for the procurement process. These small transactions usually remain unaddressed. Taking care of these small transactions usually is difficult because these transactions are normally done off the book or because of a lack of data in the transaction tail.

 

How Tail Spending is Done?

It can be split into 3 steps called:

  1. Identification
  2. Tracking
  3. Analyzing

 

Identification: Any purchase that is either classified, personal or done outside the large purchases need to be addressed here with full information. It is necessary to know where and why a business making all those spendings.

 

Tracking: Controlling this data requires those to be connected to a centralized system. Streaming this process will give the business a chance to make better payment terms with frequent suppliers. Also, this will lead you to trustworthy buyers.

 

Analyzing: Once both the process mentioned above gets done that is when analyzing and execution of the report takes place. This analyzation will lead your procurement team to a greater understanding of the spending, purchases, and decisions to make these spending and purchase.

This can be done in several ways by a business. Either they can make a list of all spending according to the supplier or they can make a list of spending based on categories and then sort them out according to the bottom 20% of spending. Some time business unifies spending on small supplier from the same geographical region or category so that it makes up a big spending and eliminate all the small spending data. But this also sometimes increases the complexion of the solution.
