Example: Simple Indirect Sourcing Category

Promotions & Fulfillment

21

Category Data Gathering • Insufficient data via Spend Database
• Data gathering via business units & accounts payable required for historical and projected

• Historic spend - $4.4M/year • Approximately 20 primary suppliers • Baseline pricing = Historic spend with incumbent suppliers (already discounted)

Strategy Selection
Strategy Applicability Rationale
Driven by specific requirements Improved reporting process and better spend management As commoditized in nature Potential to source from suppliers in countries such as China Significant competition in this space Significant fragmentation of spend across multiple suppliers
