Low Cost Country Strategic Sourcing


Source One can assist your company in the procurement of items and services either domestically or from low-cost country suppliers (such as China, S. Korea, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan).  


These countries can provide lower unit costs due to economic boom, low costs of labor and overhead and the increase in global trade, sourcing from these countries can be extremely complicated due to tariffs, language barriers, logistics, and import/export restrictions.  Source One has the resources and partnerships formed through strategic alliances throughout the world to help you save time and energy in strategic sourcing from these countries


Together, Source One and your organization can find the right products, services, and suppliers to effectively reduce your spend and meet your organizational needs. 

Source One’s strategic sourcing process will help you pre-qualify the suppliers based on quality, timely delivery, competitive pricing and the overall fit with your organizational needs.


Source One’s strategic sourcing process will help identify which supply markets are attractive based on the following criteria:

·         Comparative growth rate of the economy

·         Inexpensive but skilled labor

·         Size of the applicable supply base

·         Stability of social and political environment

·         Size of the target marketplace for your organization


Become More Competitive


Source One can assist in the identification of cost competitive high quality supply chain partners.  These supply chain partners can often add additional value to your organization beyond better pricing.   Overseas supply chain partners may offer innovations in their products and services, as well as new creative process improvements that can add additional value to your product or service offerings or allow your company to expand its offering.   Additionally, many overseas suppliers can tap into the latest technologies in low cost design capability, and are often willing to build their manufacturing capability to suit a new client’s needs.

Together, Source One and your organization can build effective long-term relationships with the low-cost supplier that fits your organizational goals and requirements.

The first step in strategic sourcing is data collection, spend analysis and baselining.  Without proper baselining of your current spend information, you will not be able to accurately measure the results of any strategic sourcing project.

Source One provides clients with:

  • Aggregated spends by commodityand category
  • Current contract costs, terms, and conditions
  • Product Specifcation inculding quality, availability and service requirements
  • Understanding of all fixed and variable cost drivers for total cost of ownership
  • Recommended strategic sourcing strategies for cost reduction and operational changes to improve short and long-term profitability
