Distribution network strategy: Bottom-up vs top-down
Some equipment manufactures only want to work with distributors, separately, and not source this service to their contract manufacturers. In such cases, in your distributor selection process, one of the most important decisions you will make is based on which geographical level you want to consolidate and leverage your spending: country-based, regional-based or globally.
Some questions manufacturers must ask themselves include: How many facilities or branches do we have around the world? What are the functions, hence purchasing needs, of each branch? Which countries do we have branches in? Which factors can influence my purchasing strategy specific to a particular country? Should I be looking at a broader region than my current local market or, perhaps globally?

Depending on the differences in your geographical needs – relative to narrow or wide scope – you can have varying degrees of leverage you can use on your distributor. Your scope requirements also determine the set of selection criteria used to select your distributor. Two strategy methodologies suggested are bottom-up distributor selection and top-down distributor selection. You can read more on this strategy, here.
