It also includes building and expanding a relationship. One concept that is part of supplier management is <strong>contract management<\/strong>. This focuses on managing agreements between an organization and a supplier. Contract management also focuses on intensive sustainable cooperation with suppliers, where mutual understanding, trust, open communication and profitability are central to a partnership. Entering into a contractual cooperation creates a mutual dependency. Both the organization and the supplier need each other to accomplish the agreed-upon work.        <\/p>\n<h2>Factors in supplier management<\/h2>\n<p>  Within supplier management, there are three factors that should be included in the process:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Progress reports<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  Progress reports compiled from contract administration serve as the basis for evaluating improvement programs.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Benchmarking<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  Benchmarking is a means of verifying that contract arrangements are market-based.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regular consultation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  Regular consultation takes place to monitor the mutual cooperation and adjust where necessary to achieve progress. Both <strong>progress reports<\/strong>, <strong>benchmarking<\/strong> and <strong>regular consultation<\/strong> can improve the performance and agreements with the supplier. Once a contract between organization and supplier is terminated, the entire procurement process in a new collaboration starts again from the beginning. The experience gained from previous collaborations can be used in the creation of new contracts.     <\/p>\n<h2>Example supplier management<\/h2>\n<p>  Practice shows that contractual collaborations can be unintentionally disrupted because both organization and supplier do not handle each other well. Supplier output is determined primarily by relationship quality and to a lesser extent by such things as regulations, programs of requirements and contracts. There are a number of factors that determine relationship quality in purchasing and sales. The absence of these factors can lead to the following obstacles in contract relationships:     <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An organization wishes to purchase products as cheaply as possible. A supplier wishes to be able to sell products for the maximum price. This makes it difficult to reach a mutual agreement and results in a <em>conflict of interest<\/em>;  <\/li>\n<li>Suppliers promise to bring in many orders and make customers feel that their needs are completely understood. However, there is no assurance that promises made can be kept; <\/li>\n<li>Risks and setbacks are passed on to the other;<\/li>\n<li>Supplier pro-activity decreases when a contract is won.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","kennisbank":[],"class_list":["post-43443","kennisbank","type-kennisbank","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cd-wordpress.creditandcollection.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank\/43443"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cd-wordpress.creditandcollection.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cd-wordpress.creditandcollection.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kennisbank"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cd-wordpress.creditandcollection.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kennisbank","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cd-wordpress.creditandcollection.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank?post=43443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
