Sourcing

CHALLENGES

Companies often unknowingly overpay for outsourced parts and assemblies.
Buyers don't have detailed cost estimates to use during supplier negotiations.
If they do have cost estimates, the estimates lack the details behind the cost.
It's difficult to determine which parts are the best candidates for cost reduction.
