Suppliers play a critical role in helping companies succeed. In order to find the right ones, businesses need to consider a number of critical factors, including: Price, Reliability, Value for money, Responsiveness, Quality and Flexibility.
The objective of this webinar is to provide you an introduction to key elements of Supplier Selection & Performance Management, the criteria for selecting a supplier and what to look for in a supplier.
Effective supplier negotiations are critical to successful supply chain management, but are little understood by many organisations. For negotiations to work, they require purchasing professionals to develop their engagement skills, and be well practiced in detailed preparation ahead of any supplier interaction.
Our Supplier Negotiation webinar will highlight how you can take action to make your engagement more effective and how you can develop your purchasing team so it delivers value and reduces costs.
Sales and Operational Planning (S&OP) plays a critical role in the Supply Chain function.
This process is key in understanding the impact of changing customer demands. It is fundamental in aligning sales forecasts with operational capabilities and, through better planning and communication, can drive better decision-making within organisations.
Supply chain is an integral part of most businesses and can positively or adversely affect cost in terms of material costs, operational efficiency and working capital.

Supply chain and purchasing functions are usually tactically focused within most SME’s - and even some larger organisations - with the priority given to ordering and chasing parts. As companies adapt their sales and production strategies to grow, diversify or respond to external changes, it is vital that long term plans are developed and executed that ensure their supply chains are fit for purpose. This can be achieved through Strategic Supply Chain Management.
Recent disruptions in the global supply chain have caused many uncertainties around the guarantee of supply and planning for predictable costs.
As a result, many businesses are turning to sourcing to expand their options, and often to bring the supplier base closer to home. As with most new business processes, sourcing can be difficult and time consuming to execute well, but can cause additional disruption if executed poorly.
This supply chain video tutorial will provide an overview of what is considered best practice for sourcing, as well as how it can be implemented within your own
