User's Challenge

「Strengthen relationships with business partners」

I am a manager in the procurement department at an electrical equipment manufacturer with 400 employees. Strengthening supplier relationships is a challenge we face. Our relationships with trading partners have become formal in nature, making it difficult to obtain proposals for new products or cooperation on quality improvements. I want to build a Win-Win relationship.

Selected Approach

Supplier Portfolio Strategy Development

Strategy

A framework that classifies suppliers by importance and impact, clarifying which suppliers should receive concentrated resource allocation given limited resources.

In an organization of 400 people, it is difficult to develop deep relationships with all suppliers, so it is essential to first prioritize "which suppliers should we aim for a Win-Win relationship with."
