5 Rights in Procurement &
Supply Chain by CIPS
Why are the five Rights of Procurement important? The five procurement rights are interconnected, with one having an impact on the others. As a result, the significance of the five Procurement Rights is the influence that failing to attain one Right has on the success of obtaining all five Procurement Rights. The attainment of all five procurement rights, taken together, offers a foundation for successful purchasing and supply chain management that applies to all industries, sectors, and nations. The 5 Rights of Procurement The first thing I learned in my CIPs was the significance of the five purchasing rights, which are as important now as they were in 2003. How can you attain all 5 Procurement Rights when risk management and mitigation are at the center of purchasing and supply chain management? I will now go through each of the 5 Procurement Rights in further detail. Right 1 - The Right Quality The Right Quality is a product or service that fulfills the specifications' criteria, features, and performance. There is frequently a trade-off between Right Quality and Right Price. Get The Right Quality By:
Analyzing what you are buying
Evaluating if it meets your needs - If not, why not?
Measuring supplier performance
Investigating how a reduction in costs may impact
quality
A collaborative approach to continuous improvement may
reduce the expenses associated with quality enhancements. If you can push your suppliers to innovate, they can successfully fix your quality concerns for you. Output-based requirements, for example, foster a performance partnership, which frequently results in the:
Same quality at lower cost,
Higher quality at the same cost,
Higher quality at a lower cost.
Incentivizing suppliers to deliver better levels of quality
above and beyond "the quality" stated in the contract may aid in harnessing the suppliers' particular talents and competencies and creating efficiencies. Among the many claimed benefits for suppliers that connect with buyers in this manner are increased profitability, longer term contracts, and loyal customers. This strategy is preferable to the traditional cost plus or fixed price transactional contract, in which the supplier has no incentive to go above and beyond providing "the minimal quality" to meet the contract's requirements. Right 2 - The Right Quantity Accurate demand predictions for products and services on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis are used to attain the Right Quantity. It is feasible to estimate future demand with a high degree of confidence by analyzing previous demand. However, taking into account new discoveries that may boost or reduce demand is critical. Get The Right Quantity By: Maximize inventory levels by segmenting spend into the following categories:
Critical,
Routine and
Non-critical
and determine for each spend segment with 5 W's:

To minimize stock depreciation and obsolescence, this promotes stock rotation and 'Just In Time' delivery (see 'Right 4 - Right Time'). Right 3 - The Right Place The Right Place is often the optimum receipt and delivery point for goods and services. Get The Right Place By: Using a central location for products reception and distribution avoids the need for needless transit and handling. Examine their approved order placing methods, minimum orders, and lead times when selecting suppliers. Determining the best location for your suppliers may also include concerns for Corporate Social Responsibility, the environment, and ethics. Right 4 - The Right Time The Right Quality, Quantity, Place, and Price are inextricably intertwined. Economic considerations such as supply and demand, as well as the urgency of the purchase, can have an influence on all 5 procurement rights. The Toyota Production System established the Just in Time approach to inventory management as a tried and true method of reducing supplier response times. Consumption increases the desire for greater inventory and removes the 'Just In Case' ordering attitude, which frequently leads to waste. However, as the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic has demonstrated, global supply networks are not always as strong as they look. Get The Right Time By: Using wholesalers or digital marketplaces to fulfill modest, regular purchases at the expense of a yearly delivery fee. Stationery and other low-value non-critical products are good candidates for consignment stock. The stationery firm will track inventory levels and refill supply as needed, only billing for items used. Right 5 - The Right Price The Right Price refers not only to the initial price paid but to the:
Cost of acquisition,
Whole life costs and
The ‘opportunity cost’ (meaning other alternatives
are lost at the expense of the chosen one).
Get The Right Price By:
Providing incentives for suppliers to offer solutions and activities can result in greater service levels at the same or lower cost. Furthermore, using gain sharing agreements and collaborating to share the risk and benefits (from pooling resources) is a fantastic approach to motivate suppliers to innovate and reduce the cost of their goods and services. In Summary The 5 Procurement Rights give a simplified understanding of how to properly manage your suppliers and supply chains. Procurement experts employ the five procurement rights to control supply chain risks in real time.
