One of the top challenging for sourcing professionals is working with internal business owners when you have different goals. As procurement now looks to increase value to the company through increased efficiency and waste reduction, how can you figure out how to improve purchasing and make things easier without driving everyone crazy? Dr Terry Barnhart is passionate about Lean interventions for durable, break-through performance improvements in creative environments. This workshop will draw from a project he led with Sandoz’ sourcing team that increased efficiency, drove out waste and improved stakeholder engagement
During this highly interactive workshop, participants will:
• Share purchasing pain points during a real time poll
• Use value stream mapping tools to map indirect spend
• Identify waste and re-work
• Develop solutions to engage business owners to speed up processes
