You identify, select and manage the suppliers you do business with. It is a form of discipline that helps to determine the value each supplier brings to the business. It serves as a pillar for collaboration amongst procurement and supply chain management professionals. SRM is a key pillar of procurement that helps in managing and yielding the most value from business relationships. It is a process that involves coordination of the business with an external party to obtain maximum benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>SRM helps to develop positive relationships between your suppliers. Especially with the ones that are considered strategic associations for the company brand. And having strategic relationships with the suppliers comes with several perks:\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list -->\n<ul>\n<li>Best price and value for needed products and services\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Become the preferred customer for the suppliers- first to be served\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Reduces time to market\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Mutual profitable growth\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Common operating framework for all development work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Many businesses depend on multiple suppliers to source everything from product components to\u00a0basic stationery. So, it would make sense to have a strategy to segment these suppliers to determine the important categories of purchase. The idea behind this is to differentiate the suppliers in order to identify the opportunities and risks involved with onboarding\u00a0each\u00a0supplier. Of course, there is a certain amount of risk that\u2019s inevitable. But once you know what kind of risk you are dealing\u00a0with;\u00a0you can develop a\u00a0proactive strategy\u00a0to deal with\u00a0the suppliers\u00a0in such a way that the results are optimal.\u00a0Hence, it is important to have an effective\u00a0<strong>supplier sourcing strategy<\/strong>\u00a0in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_61 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" >Inhaltsverzeichnis<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/de\/blog\/effective-supplier-relationship-management-key-to-building-a-resilient-supply-base\/#The_Supplier_Lifecycle\" title=\"The Supplier Lifecycle\u00a0\">The Supplier Lifecycle\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/de\/blog\/effective-supplier-relationship-management-key-to-building-a-resilient-supply-base\/#How_can_a_Strategic_Sourcing_Solution_Help_with_Supplier_Relationship_Management\" title=\"How can a Strategic Sourcing Solution Help with Supplier Relationship Management?\u00a0\">How can a Strategic Sourcing Solution Help with Supplier Relationship Management?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-supplier-lifecycle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Supplier_Lifecycle\"><\/span><strong>The Supplier Lifecycle<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The procurement process has two aspects at heart- the need for resources and the suppliers, demand and supply.\u00a0With the growing need for resources, there will be a rise in the number of suppliers who can satisfy that need.
