Approach
Our team works hand-in-hand with the Owner, Design, and Project Teams to lock in lead times, pricing, and pre-purchase equipment earlier than the traditional procurement process allows.
SourceBlue clients have the agility and market intelligence to overcome traditional supply chain obstacles.
|
| |
|---|---|
| Secure production time slots early in the design process | |
| Release component for fabrication while the balance of the design work is completing | |
| An extensive array of vendors, relationships, and experience for consideration | |
| Strategic procurement schedule established early to avoid unnecessary escalation costs | |
| National level engagement with vendors, provide access to information and opportunities not other realized | |
| Significant purchasing volumes allow for discussions with vendors at the national level to hinder such practices |
| Traditional Supply Chain Issues |
|---|
| Equipment lead times are 2 to 3 times longer than usual |
| Designs are not finalized when equipment needs to be bought |
| Buildings are “locked in” on sole-source manufacturers, and competition eliminates |
| Escalation continues to increase price while buys are delayed |
| Opportunities to find cost savings from manufacturer specific VE options are missed |
| Price gouging when late changes are necessary |
The traditional supply chain model cannot keep pace with today's dynamic projects. Leaving owners vulnerable to scheduling delays, cost overruns, and quality issues. Our approach to procurement planning enhances project budgets and schedules through upfront and transparent communication.
