11 Strategic Sourcing At Life Technologies 11

12 Typical Characteristics Tactical Buying Little involvement in long-term product sourcing strategy development Tends to buy for single site Limited view of global requirements Generally involved late in the sourcing process Little time or incentive to drive consolidation of suppliers May handle a wide varied of products with limited expertise in any one area Perceived as mainly administrative May be a part-time role Strategic Sourcing Systematic, data-driven and fact-based Drives long-term supply strategy development & execution for a commodity or group of related products Global responsibility. Has technical expertise and business acumen. Full visibility of global spend and future requirements Leads the sourcing process well in advance of actual buying execution Perpetually updates strategy, taking into account changes to global conditions Selects best fit sourcing strategy from multitude of approaches Focus on strategy development, supplier selection, negotiations, vendor and cross-functional stakeholder partnerships. Limited tactical duties. 12

13 Benefits of Effective Strategic Sourcing Area Savings (direct cost, indirect cost, cost avoidance, cash flow optimization) Business Requirements Alignment to supplier network capabilities Risk management Supplier relationship management Product standardization Global programs and processes New Product Introductions Impact Large initial savings plus ongoing optimization to market pricing Ensures maximum revenue realized and capital properly utilized Proactive risk mitigation.

14 Our Life Story: Evolution of Strategic Sourcing Invitrogen history: growth through many acquisitions plus organic acquisitions not centralized for manufacturing no global spend database minimal central sourcing functions Applied Biosystems history: growth mainly organic mostly centralized manufacturing one global ERP system; high degree of control global sourcing for Direct within Operations partial global sourcing for Indirect within Corporate long history of global strategic sourcing for direct materials 14

15 Our Life Story: Evolution of Strategic Sourcing Life Technologies Procurement Today Centralized the procurement function within Global Operations Global Procurement organization includes: > Global Direct Strategic Sourcing > Global Indirect Strategic Sourcing > Local site buying teams at factories around the world > New Product Introduction sourcing/execution team > Global Contracts team Recently Combined Global Procurement with Global Planning to also include: > Sales & Operations Planning > Production Planning & Inventory Management 15

16 Team Organization Global Operations Strategic Sourcing Operational Buying Cross-site Responsibility Primarily Site-specific Responsibility 16

17 Talent Global Sourcing Managers: Technical and business knowledge of product/service area (e.g. chemicals, biologicals, plastics, filtration, PCB, packaging, computers, temp labor, professional services, IT, facilities, travel, etc.) Financial/business analysis skills Negotiation & contracting expertise Selling skills for marketing of key programs (e.g. consignment inventory) Communication and interpersonal skills for Supplier Relationship Management and stakeholder management Project management skills 17

18 Global Strategic Sourcing Process Follow Your Choice of Traditional Multi-Step Process 18

19 Global Strategic Sourcing Process (cont d) Apply Appropriate Sourcing Strategy 19

20 Key Information Management Tools Global Spend Database Item, quantity, price, supplier Tiered commodity classification (harmonized) Vendor parent/child relationships automated Ideally linked to contract compliance monitoring Supplier Portal Automated communication of forecast and firm orders Broadcast communications Metrics and process access Potentially provide specification repository May include an online auction tool Internal Amazon.com Marketplace Directed spend to negotiated catalogs Reduces internal buyer resource requirements 20

21 Example: Simple Indirect Sourcing Category Promotions & Fulfillment 21

22 Category Data Gathering Insufficient data via Spend Database Data gathering via business units & accounts payable required for historical and projected Historic spend - $4.4M/year Approximately 20 primary suppliers Baseline pricing = Historic spend with incumbent suppliers (already discounted) 22

23 Strategy Selection Sourcing strategy Strategy Applicability Rationale Demand Management Driven by specific requirements Process Improvement Relationship restructuring Low cost country sourcing Competitive bidding Spend consolidation Improved reporting process and better spend management As commoditized in nature Potential to source from suppliers in countries such as China Significant competition in this space Significant fragmentation of spend across multiple suppliers 23

24 Selected Online Auctions as Negotiation Strategy Characteristic Negotiation tactic Promotions & Fulfillment category Market basket High value & high frequency purchases Categorized into apparel, electronics, stationery, accessories, Suppliers to bid final prices for each category & for multiple order sizes Non-market basket Miscellaneous items Specialized requirements Suppliers to bid on discounts off catalog prices 24

25 Online Reverse Auction = Significant Competition 25

26 Forward Auction on Non-Market Basket Items 26

27 Suppliers Chosen Based on Pricing & Service Offerings Selection Criteria Competitive bids received for each category in auction + Ability to meet service level requirements + Ability to service all LT locations + Past experience with supplier Suppliers Chosen: Promo 1** Promo 2 Promo 3 **Will host company store Consolidated from 20+ suppliers to 3 27

28 Award Scenario expected annual savings $1.4 M (~33%) Annualized savings ($ M) Promo 1 Promo 2 Promo 3 Total 28

29 Additional Benefits for Life Technologies No freight to be incurred on shipments to California; LT s rates to be used on all other shipments Volume rebates + Service level guarantees defined with each supplier Monthly spend reports will allow for tracking of spend Price savings Freight savings Total Total quantified savings ($ M) All selected suppliers are also minority business enterprises! 29

30 Steps to Ensure Compliance Process control Authorization of procurement department required for purchases above a set dollar amount (i.e. orders over $2,000) Communication Selected suppliers & company estore awards to be communicated to the organization and posted on Integration Central Monitoring Monthly spend reports from suppliers allow for tracking contract compliance Partner with A/P to ensure use preferred suppliers 30
