The supply base behind the factory floor rarely reaches the board agenda, right up until the moment it becomes the reason a growth plan slips. Capital equipment and MRO categories tend to grow organically: built around highly customised specifications, deep local relationships and a small number of suppliers who understand the technology better than anyone else. Those are real strengths. They are also, viewed from a different angle, concentration risk, cost inflexibility and a ceiling on how fast new technology can be adopted.Geopolitical volatility, supplier financial fragility and the step change now required in automation and digitalisation have moved this from a procurement housekeeping issue to a strategic one. Derisking a supply base without losing technical depth, and raising cost competitiveness without slowing the pace of projects, is not a sourcing exercise. It is a cross functional programme that needs engineering leadership and senior sponsorship to succeed.This session looks at how one manufacturer is doing exactly that, and what it asks of procurement as a function.
