Reduce Supplier Complexity. Lower Costs. Improve Global Supply Chain Performance.
Mergers and acquisitions, product technology changes, evolving commercial terms, and global expansion all contribute to a bloated and inefficient supply base. Without structured oversight, these changes lead to supplier proliferation and escalating costs.
Global M&A activity combines supplier lists, creating duplicate vendors and overlapping capabilities. Sorting which suppliers to retain becomes expensive and resource-intensive.
Technology disruption (like EV platforms) requires new component sourcing. Without structured oversight, this leads to supplier proliferation.
Tighter delivery windows and extended payment terms pressure the supply base, creating instability and forcing sourcing reassessment.
Local suppliers often lack the infrastructure for global operations, driving further supplier additions and increasing complexity.
Reducing supplier count by changing vendors often consumes the very savings it was intended to generate. Supplier transitions require capital for tooling, engineering validation, and inventory adjustments.
In one case, $140,000 in additional testing costs eliminated expected savings from switching suppliers.
Overlooked minimum order quantities can result in months of excess inventory during transition.
Rather than forcing disruptive supplier changes, Bombay Metrics acts as a strategic intermediary. We assume responsibility for purchasing and supply chain execution while preserving approved components and supplier relationships.
“Maintain approved quality standards and existing tooling — while consolidating purchasing, logistics, and warehousing under a single coordinated structure.”
Review quality requirements, tooling condition, MOQs, and commercial terms.
