[For Purchasing and Procurement Managers of Large Enterprises] Manufacturing Industry's Indirect Material Procurement: Is Your Governance Functioning? - Webinar Held

The Blind Spot in Manufacturing: Indirect Material Procurement Control That Isn't Advancing In the manufacturing industry, while direct materials are strictly managed, indirect materials are often left to the individual optimization of each department. The lack of unified ordering routes and approval rules, making it impossible to quickly grasp company-wide purchasing status, is a significant blind spot in procurement governance.

Even when companies "think they are managing," the reality remains unseen—this gap quietly expands cost increases and control risks.

Invisible Indirect Material Procurement Information Hinders Manufacturing DX With analog ordering processes and dispersed data management persisting, personnel are bogged down by daily confirmation and aggregation tasks, unable to dedicate time to strategic work they should be focusing on.

If procurement information is not visible across the entire company, analysis and improvement cannot progress, and DX promotion risks becoming a mere pipe dream. Visualizing indirect material procurement is the very foundation of manufacturing DX.

Companies that have centralized indirect material procurement have seen reductions in order processing time and cost optimization through the visualization of procurement information.

Rebuilding Indirect Material Procurement Governance Required in the Manufacturing Industry This seminar will clarify the structure of procurement control failures in indirect material procurement and specifically explain how to achieve centralized management of procurement data and strengthen company-wide control.

We will introduce practical approaches to make governance functional without increasing the burden on the ground, incorporating case studies from major manufacturing companies.

Indirect material procurement, if left unaddressed, becomes a risk; if properly managed, it transforms into a competitive advantage. Now is the time to take steps towards effective procurement governance.
