What is Tail Spend Management?
In the bustling world of electronics manufacturing, the term tail spend is often thrown around in procurement discussions, yet its optimization is rarely prioritized. The complexity of tail spend management – the intricate web of countless transactions, diverse product categories, and a substantial supplier base – can make it complicated to manage.
Digging into the dynamics of tail spend, we often stumble upon the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule. This rule indicates that 80% of the total organizational spend goes towards only 20% of the suppliers, the key players who command greater management and negotiation efforts. However, the remaining 80% of the suppliers, though smaller in their individual impact, collectively make up around 20% of total expenditures.
The 20% tail spend might seem small, but it holds substantial weight when dealing with electronic component spend running into hundreds of million or billions of dollars. This type of spending is an opportunity for strategic partnerships, to improve cost savings, risk mitigation, and efficiency. It’s time to start taking the ‘tail’ seriously!
