Fehlentscheidungen bei Lieferantenwechsel & Supply Chain Shift
Definition
Procurement decisions—supplier selection, volume allocation, contract renewal—rely on annual or quarterly scorecards. By the time a new supplier is onboarded or a contract renewed, performance conditions have shifted. A supplier showing strong metrics in Q1 may degrade by Q3, but the 12-month contract is already locked in. Rework costs, quality penalties, and delayed correction accumulate. Industry survey shows 67% of German automotive suppliers expect market consolidation (competitors failing), yet suppliers lack visibility to switch quickly to resilient alternatives.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €100,000–€300,000/year (suboptimal supplier allocation, contract lock-in, rework); 1–3 months delay to switch suppliers (lost agility); €50,000–€200,000 cost of emergency onboarding
- Frequency: Ongoing (monthly sourcing decisions); annual contract renewal decisions
- Root Cause: Manual, infrequent scorecard updates; no predictive performance analytics; procurement lacks real-time risk visibility; supplier consolidation risk not visible
