ISM Seminar Addresses Supplier Relationships

Supply-chain professionals interested in improving their supplier alliance development and management processes may want to attend "Leading and Managing Supply Relationships," a two-day seminar presented by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) on July 22-23. The event will be held in Chicago. The ISM seminar will discuss how to move beyond transactional management to develop a strategic supply fulfillment approach; create management techniques that sustain and build supplier capability; and assess a supplier for value and pertinence. It also will provide coaching techniques to sustain and build supplier dependability. Attendees will earn 14 continuing education hours.
