RFx from BOM
BOM-driven sourcing events that use a trusted supplier master.
The challenge
Sourcing ran from multi-plant bills of material, but each site kept its own supplier list, and the lists disagreed. Buyers rebuilt the same RFQ by hand for every plant, invited suppliers from stale records, and could not compare results across sites.
Approach
- Itemized BOM demand turned into structured RFx
- Supplier invites drawn from one reconciled master
- Standard evaluation criteria reused across events
- Event templates plants can reuse instead of rebuilding
- Full audit trail on every award decision
Results
- Shorter sourcing cycle time
- Better plant-to-enterprise visibility
- Consistent supplier records across sites
- Reusable event structure
- Award decisions with a defensible trail
