Presents -
Strategic
Sourcing: What to Think About It and How to Practice It
|
|
Date: Tuesday,
October 09, 2007
Joint
Meeting with APICS
Professor Leroy Schwarz, CFPIM
|
|
This talk will
describe what strategic sourcing in global supply-chain management is, why
companies do it, and identify the 20 "best" practices. Professor
Schwarz will then discuss a short case study in order to illustrate the
issues that arise for companies that want to "source strategically".
The case study will be an 800-1000 word description of a management
situation. Case studies will be available at each table, and we ask members
to read it and maybe talk it over during dinner. Professor Schwarz will
lead a short discussion about the case, and use it to illustrate the issues
that arise for companies that want to "source strategically".
