Supply Chain Strategies in a Down Economy

 Lorman Education Services
nOrganizations of all sizes and across all industries are struggling to meet earning targets in this down economy. Hardly a day goes by when you don't read about layoffs or other drastic measures that companies are taking to cope during the current economic downturn. What can companies do to help weather the storm? Taking an aggressive look at supplier costs can be a key strategy for shoring up the bottom line. This teleconference will help you answer the following questions: Have you pulled all the levers possible to achieve savings in the short term? Are you getting the best price for the goods and services that enable your business? Do you have an understanding of your key suppliers' financial condition? Are you matching what you are buying to what you really need to be successful? Do you have visibility into your spend? Are you actively working with your end users and suppliers to drive costs out of the process? These are just some of the strategies that we will cover during this teleconference. Real-world case studies will be used to demonstrate how other leading corporations are leveraging these strategies to maximize their buying power, minimizing risk and making an impact on their bottom line.
