What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01Supply relationships often run for years on a purchase order and a price list.It works until it does not.
- 02Input costs rise and there is no mechanism to pass them on.A delivery fails and the buyer's production stops with no remedy stated. A batch is out of specification and nobody agreed what specification meant. The supplier extends credit and has no security over unpaid stock.
- 03Both sides have built a business around the arrangement, and neither can point to a document that governs it.
In plain words
Supply Agreement
Supply documentation covering volume commitments and forecasting, specification and quality, pricing and revision, delivery terms and risk transfer, payment and credit, retention of title, remedies for defective or late supply, and term and termination.
What good looks like
Imagine a supply relationship with agreed forecasting, a price mechanism that adjusts by formula, defined quality standards, and stated consequences for late or defective delivery. Both sides plan around it instead of arguing about it.
