Future trends
While nobody knows what is in store for the supply market , Zsulits and Loos expect the volatility of the past few years to continue . “ This makes it quite hard to predict ,” says Zsulits .
He adds : “ We will remain in close contact with our suppliers and increase our collaboration . Doka will also focus on more than just its Tier 1 suppliers to improve our risk monitoring capabilities , transform our procurement strategies , and enable quick decision making .
“ These will be key to successful operations in the future . So key trends in procurement ’ s future will continue to be flexibility and the ability to respond with speed .”
Doka is also working on its predictive capabilities when it comes to material prices . “ From a materials group management perspective , we are trying to predict fluctuating prices in a volatile market ,” says Loos . “ The market is being impacted by the likes of material shortages and price inflations , and so we are working to better predict these disruptions .”
