The role of Procurement is changing.  Doing what you’ve always done, even if you do it well, is no longer acceptable.  You need to transform rather than simply improve practices.  That means adopting practices with suppliers that make both of you winners/leaders in your respective environments.   


Your Benefits of Attending:

  • Understand the principles of lean practices and how to apply them to your procurement process.
  • Learn how to have your suppliers reduce lead time and setup.  Understand why this is so significant.
  • Gain insight into developing trust with suppliers and why that is so critical.
  • Understand 5S / Kaizen and how to use them effectively.

Join Mike Gozzo and start implementing lean practices to improve your procurement process.
