Optimize your procurement, outsourcing & vendor management processes and minimize risks to your supply in a volatile marketplace

Procurement and Sourcing Professionals Face 3 Critical Challenges in 2011

The volatile commodities market (including chemicals, rare earths, oil & gas, food and pharmaceuticals) has created instability in the supplier base leading companies to seek for solutions in supplier sustainability, pricing strategies and risk management.

Additionally, organizations are urgently looking for contract negotiation & supply chain management solutions, as procurement professionals are rapidly moving towards regional and global options for cost effective contracting service suppliers. This means that many companies are increasing their exposure to being impacted by risky supplier quality and sustainability.

Finally, optimizing vendor management in industries that are highly dependant on technology such as telecoms, banking and other hi-tech sectors is changing drastically. These industries are moving into multi-sourced processes which will naturally complicate their outsourcing and vendor relationships, making monitoring performance and managing compatibility all the more complex.

With all these challenges, how do Procurement Directors and Heads of Vendor Management ensure that they are getting the best deal for their organization?

The Annual Procurement, Outsourcing & Vendor Management Forum will address these critical issues and demonstrate best practices & case studies to equip you with strategies to optimize your procurement, outsourcing & vendor management process in 2011.

Top 4 Reasons to Enhance & Optimise Procurement & Vendor Management

  • Improving vendor management while ensuring vendors’ performance and quality, regionally and globally
  • Ensuring the sustainability of the supply by alternative sources and to get preferential treatment
  • Ensuring the sustainability of the supply by alternative sources and to get preferential treatment
  • Empowering contract management & negotiation (legal concerns & beyond legal content) in EMS business
