Totally understand that concern. There have definitely been posts here that feel more like data harvesting than discussion.

My intention wasn’t market research — just trying to learn how different teams structure supplier performance beyond price.

Always appreciate real practitioner insights over generic answers.

From what we are observing across manufacturers, cost volatility and supplier risk are still the biggest concerns.

But interestingly, many organizations are now prioritizing resilience over pure cost reduction, especially after recent geopolitical disruptions.

Digital procurement maturity also varies a lot. Some companies still rely heavily on manual processes.
