We don’t have the time to spend on reducing the supplier baseAnswer
This is probably a true statement, if the Buyers spend their days overwhelmed with requisitions, calling around to find suppliers, and chasing late shipments. Basically, they would be working in an out-of-control transactional situation, almost always without even rudimentary e-Commerce tools. And, the Buyers may find that they will not have the time to do the supplier identification, negotiation, selection and contracting necessary to put in place effective electronic catalogs to relieve this workload. Here, a review of the current stable of catalog-capable suppliers can immediately relieve a substantial portion of the workload from the Buyers, permit them the time to explore better suppliers for the remaining commodities, and then even re-quote some of the major commodities to achieve additional savings. This could be approached as a 1-2 year evolution, with the situation improving each month.
