WEBINAR: 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.
