  12. Spend Fragmentation Analysis • Used to assess which internal customers use the same or different suppliers for the same commodities & services • Implications: • Highlights the potential for consolidating category spend among a smaller supply base. • Highlights opportunity for supplier development

  13. Results of Spend Fragmentation Analysis • After spend analysis, the following key metrics should-among others -become clear: • Baseline spend • Expected future annual spend • Nos. of external suppliers • Nos. of suppliers for 80% of spend • % under contract • No. of items • Key internal customers • Nos. of buyers

  14. Trend Analysis • Used to plot a series of data to identify demand patterns • Plots historic data by item, category, buying unit, or supplier • Significant trends may indicate a need for alternative sourcing strategies • Understanding trends may result in benefits: • Greater bargaining power • Improved planning • Improved customer service

  15. Variety Analysis • Used to evaluate opportunities for reducing the diversity & complexity of the different products purchased. • Implications: • The placing of greater volumes with fewer suppliers • Process efficiency savings • Increased control over spend through consolidation

  21. Threats of entrants • Potential factors influencing market/business • Rivalry among competitors • Numerous or equally balanced competitors • Slow industry growth • High fixed or storage costs • Lack of differentiation or switching cost • Capacity additions in large increments • Diverse competitors • High exit barriers Supplier’s Bargaining power Competitive rivalry Buyer’s Bargaining power Threats of substitutes Competitive Rivalry – used to assess the supply market complexity

  22. The threat of substitute products is a • Function of three factors • The relative value/price of a substitute • compared to an industry’s product • The cost of switching to the substitute • The buyer’s willingness to switch Threats of entrants Supplier’s Bargaining power Competitive rivalry Buyer’s Bargaining power Threats of substitutes Threats of Substitutes

  23. Threats of entrants Supplier’s Bargaining power Competitive rivalry Buyer’s Bargaining power Threats of substitutes Threats of Entrants • Examples of Barriers to Entry • Economics of scale (e.g., computer • chip industry) • Product differentiation (e.g., cosmetics) • Capital requirement (e.g., oil extraction) • Switching cost (e.g., chemical industry) • Access to distribution channel (e.g., food • industry) • Cost advantages independent of scale • Product know-how or design characteristics • (e.g., fashion) • Favourable access to raw materials • (e.g., basic chemicals) • Government subsidies (e.g., European • agricultural products such as soyabeans) • Government policy (e.g., regulated • industries)

  24. Threats of entrants • A supplier group is powerful if • It is dominated by few companies and is • more concentrated than the industry if it • sells to • It is not obliged to contend with other • substitute products for sale to the industry • The buyer’s industry is not an important • customer of the supplier group • The supplier’s product is an important • input to the buyer’s business • They have built up switching costs (product • differentiation) • They pose a credible threat of forward • integration • There is ‘’pull through’’ from downstream • customers of the buyer (e.g. branded items) Supplier’s Bargaining power Competitive rivalry Buyer’s Bargaining power Threats of substitutes Supplier’s Bargaining power

  25. Buyer’s Bargaining Power • A Buyer Group is Powerful if • It is concentrated or purchases large • volumes relative to seller sales • The product it purchases from the industry • represents a significant fraction of the • buyer’s cost of purchases • The product it purchases from the industry • are standard or undifferentiated • It faces few switching costs • It earns low profits, and can use this to • negotiate a greater portion of the profits • in the value chain • It poses a credible threat of backward • integration (make/buy) • The industry’s product is unimportant to • the quality of the buyer’s products • The buyer has full information about the • supply market levers Threats of entrants Supplier’s Bargaining power Competitive rivalry Buyer’s Bargaining power Threats of substitutes
