Effective supplier sourcing and relationship management can make or break the procurement process. While strong relationships with suppliers can often be challenging to build due to remote locations and limited supplier options, they remain critical to avoid long lead times and unforeseen disruptions.
For mining operations to run smoothly, procurement teams must develop collaborative partnerships, manage contractual agreements, and address potential conflicts with suppliers as quickly as possible. Compliance monitoring of suppliers according to ethical practices and industry standards throughout the supply chain is also needed to avoid regulatory breaches which could disrupt mining operations.
By sourcing and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, mining companies can increase accountability, build trust, and ensure that lead times and disruptions are minimized.
YCP Unison can work closely with your procurement teams to implement best practices for sourcing reliable suppliers, ensuring greater oversight, consistency and alignment with supplier management and engagement.
