This class is directed at developing a partner relationship with an organization’s suppliers. Purchased material costs average 50% of the sales dollar for manufacturers in the U.S. Effective management of this resource is essential for growth and profitability. New approaches designed to reduce total cycle times, costs, and improve the quality and service received from suppliers rapidly are replacing traditional methods of procuring goods and services.

This four-day workshop is designed to educate management in these new approaches and to provide a framework for implementing a program for change.
