To reduce supplier prices, it is critical to optimize relationships and purchasing processes. First, analyze specifications for redundant requirements that increase product costs. Revising standards can reduce raw material and component costs. Second, consolidate purchases by product group, creating economies of scale to achieve discounts. Third, use long-term contracts with fixed prices to protect against market volatility. Finally, use strategic partnerships, including joint investments in R&D, which will allow suppliers to optimize their own production processes and reduce your costs.
