Dinner Meeting
“Five of the
Best Supply Management Practices in use
Today”
(It’s Not Just Purchasing or Supply Anymore)
with Mike
Babineaux
Supply Management has finally come of age to
the point that it is considered a true
"profession." Any true profession has a set
of skills, knowledge and best practices that
distinguishes the successful, leading edge
professionals from the crowd. This
presentation will introduce and explore five
of these best practices:
-
Strategic Goal
Alignment
– Goals, objectives and strategies of
all functions of an organization are
complimentary
-
Procurement Strategy
Development
– The processes of sourcing and
acquisition of specific goods or
services are appropriate
-
Supplier Integration
– Using the expertise of others, as an
example, will make the whole greater
than any of its parts
-
Teaming Strategies
– Bringing different talents and
interests to bear on a supply management
opportunity fosters a better results
-
Performance
Measurement
– Knowing the direction of performance
and the cause of poor performance will
go a long way towards managing it
