WEBINAR: How Ferguson's Metrics-Driven Strategy Drove an 18% Improvement in Operational Efficiency

Labor management is a good start to understanding operational performance, but productivity metrics alone are inadequate to drive efficiencies and business results at scale. Learn how Ferguson has superpowered their labor management practices with Operations Financial Management (OpsFM). Their sophisticated approach to data helps them quickly discern the root causes of performance lags – such as labor performance, processes, or a change in workflow.

And by managing to both performance and cost metrics, they are able to bridge the understanding between operations and finance.

Join Supply Chain Now hosts, Scott Luton and Tandreia Bellamy, along with Blake Engel of Ferguson and Dan Keto of Easy Metrics, as they show you how to bridge that gap. Learn how Ferguson manages their business by the numbers and drives operational efficiencies at scale.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • How to factor difficulty of work content and adjust labor to account for it
  • How to identify the causes of waste and take action for efficiency gains
  • The data sources you need to merge and unify to get visibility at this level
  • How to approach metrics to understand process performance
  • What are the key KPIs, from GM to employee, and how to cascade them

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.
