Real World Sourcing


Contract Management (CM) is maximising the
returns achieved from individual contracts
you have with Suppliers.
Supplier Management is everything you do in
your supply market, not related to a specific
contract.
Basic CM must be in place for an SM to be
effective.

Nokia - 3rd Party Supplier failure
• Supplier incident in Albuquerque,
New Mexico.
• Nokia and Ericsson both were
supplied from the factory

• Owned and operated by Philips
• Caused the flow of chips to suddenly
stop
• With mobile phone sales booming
around the world, neither Nokia or
Ericsson could afford to wait!


Real World Sourcing

Mitigation

• Lessons Learned activity
• Early warning system introduction
• Surplus / emergency supply established
• Critical component register completed
• Secondary supply sourcing engaged

Mitigation
& Fallback
……..

• No detailed mitigation
implemented
• Working day job

Time

• Immediately Nokia notice glitch in supply order no’s don’t add up

• Philip’s informs Ericsson technician

• Philip’s informs Nokia’s CPO. Chief Supply
Troubleshooter informed

• Philip’s informs Ericsson that recovery may take
weeks
• Ericsson middle managers brief bosses

• Philip’s informs Nokia of further supply delays
• “Hit Squad” formed - 30 Nokia officials - to source
chips in Europe, USA & Asia
• Nokia CEO meets with Philip’s CEO in Amsterdam to
demand additional capacity & supply re-scheduling


Real World Sourcing


Consequences……
Ericsson
• Cost to Group estimated at $400 million
• Market share fell 3% to 9% of market
• Withdrew from Handset market January 2001, outsourcing
business to Flexitron in Singapore. (Loss making handset division
later re-formed as new joint venture Sony-Ericsson in Oct 2001)
• Jan 01 - share price 50% below price at time of fire

Nokia
• Production targets met
• Market share increased by 3% to 30% (exactly Ericsson’s share)
• Jan 01 - share price 15% below price at time of fire

Philips and Douwe Egbert
• DE was facing declining margins and a shrinking market
• Philips and Sara Lee/DE introduced the Senseo coffee
maker in 2001 with huge success
• Philips produced the coffee maker, Douwe Egbert,
developed the coffee pads


Real World Sourcing


Outcomes
• Philips received the one-off revenue from the
coffee maker
• DE profited from ongoing sales of the coffee pads
• However the purchase price of € 59 was an
obstacle to rapid market penetration Douwe
Egberts compensated with a first box of free coffee
pads
• Later on the patent on the pad could not be
sustained, and multiple suppliers of the pads
emerged on the market

Real World Sourcing


Task 2
How could better Supplier Management have mitigated or
avoided the impact that these situations had on the
buying organisation:

•
•
•
•
•

G4 Security at the Olympics
West Coast Rail
Horsemeat in Burgers
Bangladesh Factory Collapse
Or an issue in your own organisation for the group to
discuss


Real World Sourcing


Final Thoughts
• You need to be doing Contract Management as a
prerequisite for effective SM as is accurate data
• Procurement cannot own the relationship, but they
can help to structure it
• It takes leadership, communication, a clear set of
objectives, and tenacity
• One size does not fit all
• As well as delivering benefits for your organisation SM
is a great platform for Procurement recognition

In the end, however, I have a lot of sympathy with
