This Hackett Group whitepaper shows why models made for indirect spend fall short with direct materials, how scattered systems and manual handoffs drive up cost and risk, and why the biggest savings happen early, before specs get locked in. It introduces the spec to scale operating model and a realistic way to adopt it.
