In an increasingly volatile global marketplace, procurement organisations face uncertainty, rapid change and unpredictability. Traditional markets have (for many), become less attractive forcing buyers to enter markets that might otherwise be viewed as too risky or immature.
How should procurement operate with these new complexities and manage suppliers in an uncertain, global marketplace?
Join Dr. Ralph Augustin, Head of Purchasing at Voith Hydro ? part of Voith gmbh, a major global provider in the energy, oil & gas, paper, raw materials transportation and automotive marketplaces ? as he examines Supplier Management at Voith.
- Voith Purchasing - How to deal with the complexity of high spend volumes, a broad range of suppliers, global decentralised organisations and new supply markets
- Supplier Management at Voith - How to implement clear targets as well as effective processes, organisation, and tools
- Change Management - How strong project leadership and top management support lead to effective changes in purchasing processes
Voith represents an excellent example of how procurement professionals can use technology and best practice approaches to mitigate risk and improve supplier performance through the introduction of Supplier Lifecycle Management. The enabler that Voith employed was the Supplier Lifecycle Management solution from Emptoris.
Ralph Augustin will show how Voith undertook and achieved their transformation through four cornerstones for effective purchasing: Clear targets, effective processes, organization, and tools.
This webcast includes LIVE Q&A with the speakers.
