Saving costs in procurement is the art of preventing price and margin creep. You prevent price creep by only accepting the fair portion of a supplier’s requested price increase, and you prevent margin creep by proactively negotiating a decrease when their input costs fall.
Market trend-based procurement measurement often identifies savings opportunities in the range of 5–15%, sometimes more. Actual results usually depend on embedded cost creep and how long it’s been since this discipline has been applied across your supplier base.
