1 Vendor Selection

When selecting vendors, you must conduct thorough research to ensure they align with your project's goals and budget. Start by defining the scope of work and the specific deliverables you need from a vendor. Then, evaluate potential vendors based on their past performance, reputation, and ability to meet your project's requirements. Remember to consider the total cost of ownership, not just the upfront price. A vendor that may seem more expensive initially could offer greater reliability and quality, which can save money in the long run by avoiding costly delays or rework.

Elige cuidadosamente a los proveedores basándote en criterios como su experiencia, capacidad para cumplir con los requisitos del proyecto, historial de entrega puntual y calidad del servicio. Realiza una evaluación exhaustiva que considere tanto los aspectos técnicos como los financieros para asegurarte de seleccionar proveedores que puedan ofrecer soluciones rentables y de alta calidad.

Vendor selection is based on 2 aspects 1. Critical materials 2. Non critical materials( routine day today materials) For critical materials cross functional team members(Technical) opinion to be taken. Vendor history, there past experience to be studied and their reputation/ratings to be assesed thoroughly. Vendor financial status is the key for high end value items.

Selección cuidadosa de proveedores: Elige proveedores que ofrezcan productos o servicios de alta calidad a precios competitivos. Considera su reputación, fiabilidad y capacidad para cumplir con tus necesidades específicas. Negociación de contratos: Negocia contratos que sean beneficiosos para ambas partes. Esto podría incluir descuentos por volumen, términos de pago flexibles o garantías de servicio. Comunicación regular: Mantén una comunicación regular con tus proveedores para entender sus capacidades, limitaciones y planes futuros. Esto te permitirá anticiparte a cualquier problema potencial y trabajar juntos para encontrar soluciones.

Il me semble particulièrement d'aborder la recherche d'un fournisseur en lien avec un cahier des charges spécifique lié à votre projet. La variable prix n'est finalement qu'un élément parmis d'autres. Pour moi par exemple il est fondamental d'avoir une relation de proximité avec mes fournisseurs régulier. J'ai également besoin d'être sur d'avoir une certaine réactivité et je suis également très sensible à la dynamique RSE de l'entreprise... Bref avant de vous lancer dans la recherche d'un fournisseur commencez par établir son "personna" idéal. Cela permettra déjà une présélection importante.

2 Effective Communication

Maintain open and regular communication with your vendors to build a strong partnership. Clearly convey your project's objectives, timelines, and performance expectations right from the start. Use collaboration tools to facilitate seamless information sharing and ensure that all communication is documented for future reference. Be proactive in addressing issues and provide constructive feedback. This two-way communication not only helps in resolving problems quickly but also fosters a relationship based on trust and mutual understanding.

3 Negotiation Skills

Negotiation is a key aspect of vendor management. You must be well-prepared to discuss terms that align with your project's constraints and goals. Understand the vendor's perspective and be ready to find a middle ground that benefits both parties. Effective negotiation involves not just the cost but also the quality of service, delivery timelines, and flexibility. Remember, the cheapest option isn't always the best choice if it compromises the project's success.

Negotiation is not an "Art" but it's a science. For a good Negotiation with respect to cost, delivery timeline one must have- 1. Patience 2. Send clear and complete message 3. Listen more and talk only when needed. 4. Have feedback mechanism 5. Stress on/summaries frequently on key terms and conditions. 6. There has to be win win situation for both the parties.

4 Contract Clarity

Drafting clear contracts with vendors is crucial to avoid misunderstandings and ensure accountability. Make sure that all agreements include detailed service level agreements (SLAs), payment terms, and penalties for non-compliance. Contracts should also outline the process for change orders or additional services that may be required during the project. A well-defined contract serves as a reference point for both parties and helps to manage expectations throughout the project lifecycle.

Asegúrate de que todos los acuerdos con los proveedores estén documentados de manera clara y detallada en contratos escritos. Especifica claramente los alcances del proyecto, los entregables esperados, los plazos, los términos de pago y cualquier cláusula relacionada con la resolución de disputas o cambios en el alcance. La claridad contractual reduce la ambigüedad y minimiza los riesgos asociados con posibles malentendidos o disputas.

The contract is a document which defines the clear relationship between the vendor and the client. In order to maintain a good relationship between two parties , this contract should be well drafted and shall all include all risks which may occur during the project.

5 Monitor Performance

Regularly monitor your vendors' performance against the agreed-upon metrics and milestones. Implement a system for tracking progress and quality of work. If a vendor is not meeting expectations, address the issue promptly. Use performance data to make informed decisions about continuing, adjusting, or terminating vendor contracts. Continuous performance evaluation also allows you to recognize and reward vendors who consistently deliver excellent service.

Vendor performance should be closely monitored by monitoring their commitment vs performance. Close valuation has to be ensured to keep the work on track and to make decisions whether there is a requirement to look for another stakeholder to get the work done because on any underperformance to coverup the delays

6 Strategic Alignment

Ensure that your vendors are strategically aligned with your project's vision and objectives. They should understand how their services contribute to the bigger picture and be committed to helping you achieve your goals. Periodically review your vendors' strategic direction and market position to confirm they remain a good fit for your project. This alignment is vital for long-term collaboration and success.

I had a real bad experience with one of the overseas "OEM" supplier wherein the order terms and condions were not Respected resulting in delay in delivery and to wrong location. Failures- 1. Delivery was supposed to be by airway. 2. It's shipped by SEA resulting in delay for more than 30days. 3. Communication was made after 13days of and bill of lading was shared. 4. The destination point was changed without information which costed us additional transportation cost. This was complete mockery of the order terms and this is the problem with "OEM's.
