Introduction
Manufacturing services can include any type of services category that is a critical application in the daily function of manufacturing. When prioritizing sourcing projects, services have traditionally been secondary due to their complex nature, and have often been untouched by procurement. Although the process of sourcing these categories may not be as intuitive as tangible commodities, their more complex nature often translates into high savings percentages and, therefore, huge wins, when properly addressed.
Decoding the complexities of sourcing manufacturing services requires more than just accurate demand forecasts and compliance. But when sourced strategically, the complex nature of this category often yields huge savings. This paper will help you understand how you can unlock more value in sourcing manufacturing services.
