The EIPM 11^th Annual Purchasing Conference

PRESENTATIONS, VIEWPOINTS, CASE STUDIES AND DEBATES FROM THREE COMPLEMENTARY PERSPECTIVES: practitioners, academics and consultants.
 

“The Role of PURCHASING
in the quest for
COMPANY EXCELLENCE”
 

“Shifting the focus of Purchasing and Supply from cost reduction to sustainable top-line growth.”
 

Purchasing was previously considered as a vehicule for driving down cost. Today we are moving from technical cost cutting to a function that is positioned as an enterprisewide activity of strategic significance to maximise value generation. Procurement has to become more aligned with business needs. The challenge is to understand and articulate the real nature of value propositions across complex multiple internal value chains in order to harness the full potential of innovation.
 

Where and How can Purchasing bring Value to the organisation? 

This is the question that will be addressed in this Conference:

- Learn from the minds of top purchasing executives who are in the leading edge. Benefit from leading companies’ experiences in redesigning the purchasing role to a strategic high performance sourcing organisation.

“ Nando Galazzo, Vice President Procurement of Borealis will be speaking about how the SCOR Model in Collaborative Procurement. This project won Borealis the best 2006 Supply Chain Award Project."

- Learn about and implement the EFQM-EIPM excellence framework that embraces aspects of People Leadership/ Quality/ Process Excellence and Measurement systems. This model provides a common leadership language to identify areas of improvement & also to align purchasing closer to Business needs to unlock value for customers.
