Top pains and how to handle them

Most spend goes through urgent one-off orders

Use spend analysis to find repeat items and put them on agreements with agreed prices and lead times.

One supplier failure stops the line

Keep a risk register for class A and single-source items, with a second source or safety stock for the high risks.
