Kurzbeschreibung:
This tool offers a new perspective on buyer-supplier relationships by examining those relationships through the lens of partnership quality. Using just 12 subjective measures, the BBPI opens up new opportunities to learn about the impacts of purchasing practices by enabling suppliers in a range of industries and supply chain tiers to participate.
A total of 679 ratings were received during the 2021 ratings cycle. One hundred buyers were rated, including 94 buyers in the Softgoods category and 6 in the Hardgoods category (buyers that sell product types other than apparel, footwear, and household textiles). Most ratings were for Softgoods buyers (519 ratings), while the remaining were for Hardgoods buyers (160 ratings).
The suppliers that submitted ratings were from 50 different countries and regions, with nearly half of the ratings coming from the following areas: China (16.2% of all ratings), Taiwan (10.3%), the United States (9.9%), Hong Kong (6.3%), and South Korea (5.9%).
Key takeaways:
- Suppliers are under much pressure: many buyers never, rarely, or sometimes providing enough time, adequate visibility, stable business, and fair financials
- Many buyers are missing opportunities to improve their businesses by not seeking their suppliers’ ideas for product and process innovation
- Suppliers seem to currently have a low bar for what they consider an acceptable business relationship
- Buyer supply chains are further threatened by potential supply disruption, higher costs, and increased reputational risks.
