Savings are often linked to a Client contract and this must form an integral part of the Contract negotiations with any Supplier partner.
Maintenance cost and regular inspection are the prime challenges in the elevator market globally. Regular preventative maintenance keeps the machinery in efficient condition, preventing malfunctions, extending the lifespan, safety, and dependability of the lift or escalator, and decreasing long term operating expenses.
1. Savings and Efficiency in Operations
2. Savings Drivers / Triggers
- Existing Supplier partner contract sunsets within six months
- Cost-plus supplier over-spending
- Renewed savings strategy
- Program optimizaton that redefines client objectives, SOW and levels of transparency
- Transitioning a Supplier partner
- Early stages of transformation planning
3. Key Points
- Be clear on desired outcomes
- Identify deal breakers early in the contract planning phase

Impact on Price
Equipment and Replacements
Operating and Service Costs
Labour, Licenses & Overheads
- Import and export costs affect the cost of the equipment and replacements
- Physical capital for security systems and replacements, contributes more
- Manpower productivity and the level of automation adopted are the key factors contributing to the cost of security monitoring systems
- Annual maintenance contracts cost more and depends on the reliability and longevity of the equipment
- Wages in countries, such as US, Germany, Japan, are relatively higher as compared to China, India, and ASEAN countries. Relatively lower labor cost is expected to play a key role in sourcing prospects from emerging economies, such as Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, etc,
- Overheads typically include licenses, safety regulation adherence, administrative cost,
machine depreciation, insurance etc, - Port congestions have increased, leading to delayed shipments. European logistics
companies are facing shortage of Ukrainian lorry drivers, who are well represented in
driving profession across Central Europe

1. Where can Addressable savings be found in XXXXXXX?
XXXXXXXXX
This section looks at some possible options to consider first as they are usually easy to implement:
Possible Actions
Possible areas of Savings
Scope. Are we delivering to the right scope? Are we over-delivering – have we accepted a legacy scope that is above the MSA service level without challenging it?
Has a Scope Gap Analysis been conducted? If not – carry out a scope Analysis – check that the scope being delivered is what is required. Look for out of scope services.
Check for:
- Check client’s specified Service Levels - Is the client’s specified service level what is being delivered or is there a legacy SL that is too high?
- Look at frequencies, volumes and response times – high volumes, greater frequencies and faster response times have a cost. Check that these are to the correct SL specified by the client – if nothing is specified – check and adjust SLs based upon a risk and service evaluation to make sure they are appropriate for the site, service and risks etc
- Is the service level right for the site? Particularly for security systems maintenance – more frequent service visits, faster response times and comprehensive maintenance add significantly to the cost. But is these are too high for the site type and risk, then they can legitimately be reduced.
- E.g. a Four hour response time for a low risk site or low priority system can be reduced to next day. Four annual maintenance visits can be reduced to two – or one if one of these could be done virtually by an on-line check
Service Level. Are we delivering to the right service level? Are we over-delivering the service?

Enable Immediate Action
Create Transparency and the right set up
to implement immediate actions
Take Action to secure supply and mitigate
Price increases now and in the next months
Deploy advance solutions to manage costs and
set targets to enable resiliency
Institutionalize to prepare for the new normal
Build capabilities, tools and processes to
manage future uncertainty
- Have you prioritized categories based on exposure?
- Is a cross-functional inflation nerve center in action to quickly capture value?
- Are you deploying a full set of levers to mitigate short-term challenges (eg, supply, demand, inventory)?
- Have you identified a full suite of levers that mitigate risk via technical, demand, process, financial, and commercial levers?
- How will you define longer-term value creation in the face of continued uncertainty?
- Do you have effective cross-functional partnerships in place to execute all levers?
- Do you have effective strategic partnerships in place to assure supply and to stay relevant?
- Do you have a way to accelerate alternatives (eg, new Supplier partners, new locations, new designs, new materials)?
- How will you improve the procurement operating model with the learnings from mitigating current challenges?
- Which new systems and tools will you put in place to assure future resilience?
- Do you have the right talent and capabilities in your team?
- How will you redefine procurement governance and cross-functional collaboration to enable both agility and resiliency?
