Who should attend: Managers, functional experts, and high potential professionals who are seeking to develop their knowledge and understanding of cost reduction in today’s supply Chain

PROGRAM OUTLINE

An effective LEAN supplier development program must be aimed at improving suppliers performance, not browbeating them into charging less or simply auditing and rewarding them. Instead, supplier development is all about providing suppliers with what they need to be successful in the supply chain.

This one-day workshop will address two of the most important aspects of a supplier development program :

• Providing information about products, expected sales growth, etc. Poor communication is one of the biggest mistakes. Lack of information translates into additional costs (usually in the form of just-in-case inventory). Suppliers need to become extensions of their customers. • Training and subsequent support in the application of Lean Rapid Results improvement tools. Asking suppliers to drop their price without giving them the know-how to lower their costs through process improvement is not sustainable long term.
