Ask The Expert - Integration of sourcing and supply chain best practices for achieving optimal results - Recording

Author: Dalip Raheja, President, CEO, The Mpower Group and Tim Cummins, CEO, IACCM

Call Description: Most organizations have done a fairly good job of extracting value by implementing some form of a Strategic Sourcing program. The challenge that the organizations face is where does additional value come from? Identifying and exploiting additional value levers has now become a significant challenge for most sourcing organizations. We believe that significant value is being left unrealized by a large majority of corporations (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) who continue to view Supply-Chain Management and Strategic Sourcing as two separate functions, processes, or disciplines. In fact, we believe that these two concepts are tightly inter-related and highly synergistic in nature. It is only by developing a Supply-Chain Management context, paradigm, or "model" that Strategic Sourcing organizations will be able to be a competitive weapon for their companies.
