Tungsten Procurement Risks

  • The pricing terms in the contract can prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from the impact of a sudden increase in the supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on the scope of products or services to be delivered.
  • Political and regulatory changes pose significant risks to the category. For instance, the imposition of tariffs on raw materials required to manufacture finished goods increases costs. Similarly, restrictions on the import of goods or raw materials from a country also contribute to significant risks. Additionally, insufficient IPR protection and product liability lawsuits turn out to be huge risk factors for the category.

Tungsten Procurement Best Practices

  • Buyers should engage with suppliers who have adopted a global delivery model as it reduces the buyers' risks. In this model, any disaster/emergency at any operating facility of the supplier will result in the work being transferred to a different facility, thereby ensuring continuity of the project and reduced risk for buyers. This model also provides buyers access to skilled labor from across the globe, thereby improving the quality of engineering products provided by the supplier.
  • Buyers should engage with suppliers who have recycling capabilities. These capabilities will allow suppliers to lower their production costs which will be passed on to buyers. Additionally, the recycling capability will contribute to furthering the sustainability goals of the buyers' organization.
