Procurement in turbulent times; Re-localisation or De-Globalisation: How should we adapt to the new paradigm?

Recent geopolitical events are already having an impact on the global economy and we are all beginning to see the effects. The world of procurement is probably one of the sectors that is and will be the most affected. What will the consequences be? How should we react?

The statement:

What’s the problem?

Geopolitical / supply chain tensions lead to a new supply paradigm

• Shortage risks of Raw materials, metals and others
• Oil & gas price is at risk
• Tier 2 / tier 3 suppliers have increased risks
• Demand can be volatile
• Inventories and security stocks are increasing
• Transportation becomes costly
• Cyber-risks are soaring

After the crisis, EIPM believes that Procurement needs to:

• Scout local markets again

• Reduce the dependence toward distal factors
• Recover lost technical capabilities
