Post COVID-19 Supply Chains: What is Needed to Adapt

After COVID-19, most companies will be cash poor, margin hungry, and riveted on boosting supply chain resilience. They say, “forewarned is forearmed,” but what specific actions should we take? Join Rod Sherkin, President of ProPurchaser, and Kelly Barner, Owner of Buyers Meeting Point, as they team up to share their insights on the challenges our profession will face and the solutions we can implement to thrive in a post COVID-19 world. Kelly will kick off this discussion by explaining how some of today’s “best practices” may no longer be best, e.g.: building just-in-time supply chains, supplier rationalization, and pursuing low prices. Rod will continue the presentation with practical advice to prepare you for what’s coming – how to keep the focus on cost containment while building resilience into your supply chain. He explains how to: · Make suppliers’ costs transparent. · Use this knowledge to negotiate competitive pricing and attract the best, most reliable suppliers. The goal of this webinar is to help supply chain professionals prepare for the future. You may be pleasantly surprised at how effective you can become at driving enterprise costs lower and your career prospects higher.

Using Rebates and Pricing to Align Your Supply Chain

While rebates and pricing are just a fraction of the picture of a complex supply chain, they are both critical components in bringing more alignment. Rebates help align partners in a way that doesn’t erode their pricing power or margins and an effective pricing strategy can quickly shift demand onto products with higher inventory or margin and shift demand away from products with lower inventory or margin. Although a high amount of complexity exists beneath the surface of both, they are powerful tools in the supply chain because they align companies’ goals, increase accountability, maintain relationships and boost your margins, resulting in more revenue. Join Enable’s Evangelist, Mark Gilham and Christopher Loder, Senior Alliances Director, PROS along with Supply Chain Now hosts, Scott Luton and Greg White, as they discuss both of these strategies to keep everyone aligned and heading in the right direction.
