eWorld - developing suppliers to reduce risk & control costs
Part 1 of 3

Steve Bagshaw, Editor, Supply Management magazine for CIPS

During tough economic times there is often a tendency for organisations to cut down on discretionary spend and relationship management budgets are likely to be cut.
Never has there been a better time to work with suppliers to develop more innovative ways of working, identify areas to cut costs and waste and improve efficiencies; as well as ensuring security of supply as many organisations struggle to survive under these testing conditions.
