Why should a Purchaser demand a very detailed outlay of the baseline services in an OEM Supplier – Purchaser relationship?
A Purchaser will demand a very detailed outlay of the baseline services because if baseline services (those services that are most core in the relationship) are stated very narrowly between the manufacturing service provider and the organization relatively hidden additional charges may be permitted that distort the actual price of the goods being purchased. Thus, the Purchaser will most likely be diligent in ensuring that the baseline services’ costs include as much of the possible costs that can be included.
