tarnijahõlmatust

Tarnijahõlmatust, often translated as supplier saturation or vendor saturation, refers to a situation in business where a company has too many suppliers for a particular product or service. This can arise from various factors, including a lack of centralized procurement, the pursuit of perceived cost savings through numerous small suppliers, or a history of reactive supplier onboarding without strategic planning.

The consequences of tarnijahõlmatust can be multifaceted. It can lead to increased administrative overhead due to managing a larger number of supplier relationships, contracts, and invoices. Furthermore, it can dilute purchasing power, making it harder to negotiate favorable terms or bulk discounts. Quality control can also become more challenging to maintain consistently across a wider supplier base.

Addressing tarnijahõlmatust typically involves a strategic supplier rationalization process. This might include consolidating suppliers, focusing on preferred vendors, and establishing clearer criteria for supplier selection and management. The goal is to reduce the number of suppliers while ensuring continued access to necessary goods and services, thereby improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing supplier relationship management. In some cases, it can also lead to stronger partnerships with a smaller, more reliable group of suppliers.
