Mitigate global sourcing risks
|
|
|
Timely availability of high quality materials and supplies is critical to the well being of your O&M program and CapEx projects. In the past, utilities have taken for granted that trusted suppliers would provide timely high-quality equipment, materials and services at reasonable prices.
Today, these suppliers face unprecedented demand not only from within the US, but also from Europe, China and India. Many manufacturers are grappling with increasing fuel costs, production capacity constraints, metals shortages, unrestrained metals costs, rapidly rising transport costs and rising exchange rates.
KEMA helps utilities guard against the impacts of global sourcing challenges by guiding them toward sourcing strategies and tactics that ensure continued availability of critical equipment. In doing so, we also help utilities reduce risk and achieve significant economic gains. We help utilities through the complexities of identifying and assessing sources of supply and in evaluating potential global partners.
