| Overview |
Supply
managers continue to find themselves immersed in
a sea of numbers. To gain competitive advantage
and navigate through today's rocky economy, supply
chain professionals need the ability to make sense
of a multitude of numbers -- what they mean, where
they come from, how to forecast them, and how they
impact supply management decisions. Flexibility
has become the norm as we strive to keep up with
ever-changing sources and regulations. This satellite
seminar will help supply management professionals
become savvy with various economic and financial
concepts and terminology. Topics covered will include
leading and lagging indicators, Gross Domestic Product,
economic indexing, money markets and forecasting
models, as well as how economic factors in business
and the world affect purchasing and supply management.
Who should attend?
This satellite seminar is designed for purchasing
and supply chain executives, managers and professionals
who are seeking to take the next step in purchasing
and supply chain evolution. This seminar will provide
specific methods for paradigm breaking action in
supply management, designed to provide breakthrough
improvements in supply metrics (cost, quality, delivery,
reliability) and sustainability. These approaches
provide opportunity to both production and non-production
supply management disciplines.
