Background

Hot melt is the name given to any polymer-based glue that is applied in a molten state. The application of the adhesive is usually by an industrial glue gun, which works through either trigger action or finger pressure. Hot melt is used in a variety of settings due to its versatility, including packaging, bookbinding, carton-making, graphic arts, tapes and labels, product assembly, and in the automotive industry.

Compliance Management Tool

Compliance management is very critical as otherwise the procurement organization may run into a scenario where there is a huge gap between realized savings and reported savings. Many procurement functions estimate large savings numbers when contracts are signed. They also invest significant time and effort in negotiating contracts for necessary goods and services, only to have a third or more of their purchasing dollars flow outside those deals. Some of the obvious fall-outs of non-compliance and maverick purchases are:

  • Very high prices
  • Risk of losing out on volume discounts and rebates

As compared to the current contract that was finalized after the sourcing process, the tool helps in tracking:

  • Vendor Compliance
  • Price Compliance

The objective of this tool is to ensure that the orders are placed only with the vendors that were shortlisted after the sourcing process and at the same price that was agreed upon and negotiated during and after the strategic sourcing process.
