Connect with us www.twitter.com/ci_energy Hashtag: #CI_supply The Energy and Oil & Gas Network The Industrial Network Supported by: Presented by Productivity Alberta Executive-level surveys show that the lowest bidder on a contract is only the third- or fourth-most important factor when making a decision about service providers and suppliers. A supply chain that can reliably deliver the quantity and quality required on time every time is worth many times more than one strictly focused on minimizing costs. Establishing mutually beneficial business-to-business relationships creates a long-term open communication that lets you know what your options are at all times so you can plan accordingly. But how is this achieved? How do you create win-win relationships throughout your supply chain? This workshop will give you the tools you need to change the way you deal with your supply chain and set your company onto a course where the bottom line is positively impacted by reliable delivery of the goods and services your projects need.
