Procurement on the front foot
Price volatility creates the mandate to design smarter, more resilient operations but procurement is increasingly judged on resilience and responsiveness, not just the savings it delivers.
The priorities are clear: stronger data foundations, ESG built into supplier selection, and AI used for early warning rather than just efficiency.
The manufacturers that treat procurement as a strategic capability are already proving more agile, better positioned to absorb shocks, and quicker to turn supply chain pressure into competitive advantage. ■
