Welcome to the Global Purchasing Index
Benchmarking performance is essential when considering procurement performance.
The Global Purchasing Index (GPI) developed by SCMG provides a basis to collect and analyse procurement information.
The index is based on three years of benchmarking over 120 different companies from different sectors across a range of different areas.
The Global Purchasing Index is now (in 2007) supported by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply and the University of Southampton.
| Area | Description |
| Strategy |
What is your strategy? Is it linked to your business plan? How often do you review it and how does it cascade into practical procurement objectives? |
| Organisation |
How are you organised and what contribution does that make to how you can manage and deliver results for the business or organisation? |
| Procurement Lifecycle Issues |
In practical terms Specifying, Sourcing, Selecting and Managing contracts can be the difference between success and failure for a business. These key areas are in many cases not fully considered. How do you manage these key processes and what value does it bring to your business or organisation? |
| Supply Base |
How do you manage your supply base? In many cases suppliers drive customers and the supply chain is out of control. How does your strategy, organisation and management of the procurement lifecycle manifest itself in supply base issues? |
| Spend Pattern and Profile |
Spend patterns are not often fully understood. The relationship between strategy, procurement lifecycle and suppliers is a key indicator of the effectiveness and efficiency of procurement policy. |
| Metrics | How does Purchasing “add value” to the business and how is it measured and how often? |
The Global Purchasing Index is free to companies who provide their data and information. An annual report will be provided to companies who support the benchmarking exercise.
The GPI allows businesses and organisations to share and compare vital information that can support performance improvement and cost reduction.
Your data will remain confidential at all times.
