Supplier development & procurement cost analysis

Despite all efforts to reduce procurement costs, a sustainable improvement will only be achieved when all the costs are considered. It is not unusual for price advantages to be over-compensated by quality costs, logistics costs, etc. The combined use of supplier and procurement cost analysis helps to avoid this mistake and the price/risk relationship can be optimised.
