Sourcing Step 6: Supplier Relationship Management
We continuously promote a close working relationship with our designated suppliers to ensure the full implementation of long-term savings ideas. Our contract managers are in charge of contract roll-out and contract compliance, including:
- maintaining the lowest overall TCO
- ensuring agreement compliance
- full reporting on performance
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) strategy
Maersk Procurement works with an SRM strategy to handle relations and to optimise dialogue with our suppliers.
Why?
The SRM strategy allows us to efficiently optimise supplier relationships, refining the management strategies for each supplier segment.
New and existing suppliers can register in our contact database. Suppliers categorise and assess themselves via the online contact tool and we segment the suppliers based on this information.
Many of our existing suppliers have been working with us for a number of years and they are automatically managed through our internal SRM tool, allowing us to appraise these on-going relationships.
