What are the 4 pillars of sourcing?

Supplier Identification and Evaluation: Recognize and assess suppliers based on criteria like capability, quality, and price.
Contract Management: Establish and manage contracts to foster strong supplier relationships and ensure delivery against agreed-upon terms.
Supply Risk Management: Identify potential supply risks and implement preventative measures to minimize their impact.
Performance Monitoring: Continuously monitor supplier performance using key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive improvements and address issues promptly.

What are the types of sourcing?
  1. Direct Sourcing: This involves procuring goods that are directly related to the production of your company’s final product. It’s crucial for ensuring the quality and consistency of key materials.
  2. Indirect Sourcing: Focuses on procuring goods and services that support business operations but aren’t part of the final product, such as office supplies or IT services.
  3. Strategic Sourcing: A long-term, comprehensive approach where the focus is on building value-based vendor relationships and continuously optimizing the sourcing process.
  4. Global Sourcing: Involves seeking goods and services beyond national borders to leverage global efficiencies such as cost advantages or unique capabilities.
  5. E-Sourcing: Utilizes digital tools and platforms to conduct the sourcing process online, increasing supplier reach and enhancing transparency.
  6. Outsourcing: The practice of having certain job functions done outside a company instead of having an in-house department or employee handle them, often with a focus on cost reduction.
  7. Insourcing: Bringing previously outsourced processes back in-house or developing operations and capabilities internally under a company’s control.
