MRO – Indirect Materials
Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) materials (indirect materials) – materials necessary for running a company but do not relate to the company’s primary business activities Office supplies, repair parts, lubricating oils
33
MRO – Indirect Materials
Buyers in B2B make large purchases and can then demand a discount (not true in B2C) Can also team up with other buyers to create demand aggregation - combining purchase requests from multiple buyers which justifies a larger discount
34
Direct Materials Direct materials – materials that are used in production in a manufacturing company or are placed on the shelf for sale in retail environments Relate directly to a company’s primary business activities Quality, quantity, and delivery timing are important
35
Direct Materials Buyers can participate in reverse auctions for direct materials – process in which a buyer posts its interests in buying items and sellers compete by submitting successively lower bids The lowest bidder wins
36
B2B: Horizontal and Vertical E-Marketplaces
Horizontal e-marketplace: connects buyers and sellers across industries Primarily for MRO materials All industries need office supplies, travel, etc. Vertical e-marketplace: connects buyers and sellers in a given industry Primarily for direct materials Each industry has unique direct material needs
