By setting an organisation's competencies within the context of their customer or supplier interactions this paper supports the view posited by <span>Ford et al.

In a study of collaboration in the UK auto industry, it was found that both operational and relational competences are critical factors in the performance of the new product development process. Thus, the ability of customers and suppliers to develop both structured and ad hoc processes of interaction is shown to be important to the development process from early supplier selection process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100504,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management","volume":"7 1","pages":"Pages 29-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0969-7012(00)00019-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71794332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has come about due to suppliers purveying construction contractors with a form of working capital. Inevitably, with the construction industry being volatile and prone to large numbers of insolvency, the risk associated with being a crediting organisation (e.g. supplier) is high. Suppliers’ utility gain from furnishing credit to contractors is directly related to their financial turnover. Therefore, research into supplier turnover provides valuable insight concerning issues such as their working capital ‘contribution’ to the construction industry. Using data from a UK survey of materials suppliers’ credit control and debt collection practices, stepwise multivariate discriminant analysis identified that suppliers’ turnover was related to: (1) whether they held insurance against bad debt; (2) the total number of credit accounts furnished; (3) the percentage of debting contractors who have credit limits imposed upon them; (4) whether guarantees of payment are sought; and (5) turnover trend for the last three years’ trading. The paper identifies that ‘large’ turnover suppliers tend to utilise more ‘formal’ credit control and debt collection practices (i.e. insuring against bad debt and imposing credit limits upon creditworthy contractors). This contrasts to ‘smaller’ turnover contractors, who tend only to seek guarantees of payment when a contractor places a substantial order.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100504,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management","volume":"6 3","pages":"Pages 237-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0969-7012(00)00021-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71866067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the private finance initiative (PFI) the obligation of the UK Government shifted from procuring capital assets to purchasing (directly or indirectly) the flow of supply services from such assets. The concomitant change within the private sector requires its involvement not only in the construction of an asset, but in its conception, its long-term financial viability and its operational integrity. What is supplied through the construction chain to the client is not an asset or components thereof, but services. The attitudes prevalent within the tender, design and construction phases of a current PFI variant (the design build finance operate or DBFO) road project were investigated in order to establish the potential impact upon the quality, cost and function of supply resulting from the change in procurement form. Attention was paid to the crucial links in the supply chain, from the client through the first and second tier suppliers, analysing the changes instilled in those parties by their being exposed to the DBFO from of procurement. Significant differences were found in how the suppliers regarded the tender, design and construction phases. Where previously suppliers’ attention was paid to claims positioning and the potential for leveraging profit through the identification of liabilities, under the DBFO problem-solving attitudes overrode those of problem avoidance. This confirmed the prevailing opinion among the construction industry that DBFO road schemes constitute a valuable influence over the mode of supply, worthy of development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100504,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management","volume":"6 3","pages":"Pages 227-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0969-7012(00)00018-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71866071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
