The Point
Buyers Meeting Point attends many sales AND procurement webinars/webcasts. One of the interesting things about consistently reading content from quality sources is that you start to notice trends. It is amazing how often the same topics arise at the same time in different places. We use this blog as a way to help you stay on top of the major themes in procurement and supply chain management.
Webinar Notes: Webinar Notes: Take Your Sourcing Down to the Component Level: The Kimberly Clark Case Study
This week’s SIG webinar (sponsored by MFG.com) gave us an interesting look inside the procurement, product design, and engineering teams at Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB). There is a good chance that you have a number of K-C products in your home right now: Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, and Cottonelle are just a few of their brands. Unless you are a SIG member you can’t listen to the event on demand, but there is a case study overview available from MFG.com.
BMP’s Notes on “Supply Chain Resiliency: Lessons Learned from the Crisis in Japan”
I was really looking forward to this event, and it did not disappoint. This is the first event I have attended by Preparis (providers of an emergency preparedness suite) and I will add them to my list of sources for future webinars. Kudos to Bill Michaels (CEO, ADR North America), David Landsman (Director of Strategic Alliances, MFG.com) and Armistead Whitney (CEO, Preparis) for an exceptionally well done event.
