Supplier Relationship
Management (SRM)

Supplier Relationship Management requires a selective approach. Good Supplier Relationship
Management will help us unlock the hidden value in your supply base. We cannot have a relationship
with every supplier; for many suppliers we simply need them to provide what we want, on time, in full,
to agreed budget or price. For others some form of intervention may be necessary to keep things on
track and yet, for perhaps a small number of other suppliers, it is possible to secure much greater
value; value that can, in some cases, make a dramatic and game changing contribution to our
business. Our supplier base therefore harbours huge potential; ranging from the potential to prevent
damage to our business through to the potential to add great value to our bottom line and help us
grow. The role of suppliers in our supply base getting more important due to the very tight competition
to reduce cost.

Therefore, to perform a better Supplier Relationship Management, it requires methodologies and tools in:

• Supplier relationship management: how do we decide to put intervention with our suppliers

• Selecting the way to approach supplier in term of: SPM (supplier performance management), SI&D (supplier improvement & development), SCM (supply chain management) and SCR (strategic collaborative relationship)

• Taking advantage of the SRM benefits in improving our supply process, reducing cost in transaction and monitoring the suppliers
