#1 – Utilize the Services of a Supply Management Professional
This is a big shout out to my colleagues in the supply management profession. The short message is: Use our Skills and Experience.
A professionally trained and experienced supply manager can and will assist your organization to:
· Add value to your procurements
· Analyze and remove costs from your supply chain
· Increase the worth of your organization to your key suppliers
· Stimulate competition for your business
· Increase the worth of your organization to your clients and customers
· Reduce overhead and administrative costs
How?
These are addressed in the previous nine messages of this series. I am happy to send them along as a package upon request and without obligation.
I’ve enjoyed writing these short pieces on procurement. I appreciate the new contacts made as well, thank-you for reading.
