EXECUTING A GLOBAL SOURCING STRATEGY |
|
 |
|
With all the talk about the global sourcing that many companies are doing, one may think that it is easy, right? That perception could not be further from the truth. Global sourcing may be one of the most complex activities you’ll encounter as a purchasing professional.
There’s no doubt about it – global sourcing is a challenge with many opportunities to fail. There are many complex processes that need to be done right. It’s not enough to know what those processes are. You need to know how to perform those processes in order to be successful.
Despite the challenges of global sourcing, purchasing professionals do succeed at it. They succeed because they know specifically how to handle all of the situations involving coordinating logistics, dealing with customs, arranging payment, identifying countries for sourcing, finding suppliers, calculating landed cost, assessing risks, and implementing their global contracts. Our highly personal and interactive online course "Executing A Global Sourcing Strategy" will teach you how to take global sourcing from a concept to a successful reality!
You will learn a strategy for selecting products, countries, and potential suppliers for your first global sourcing initiative, plus…
- How to make your work easier by working with logistics support organizations such as freight forwarders and customs brokers
- The critical details you must know about ocean and air freight
- How to determine global shipment quantities and frequencies
- How to ensure smooth customs clearance
- How the various duties, taxes, and fees affect total cost of ownership
- 13 Incoterms and how to use them to properly allocate the costs and risks of global shipments
- How you may be impacted by the large number of regulations affecting shipments to the United States
- The advantages and disadvantages of the channels for your global sourcing effort, including international procurement offices, supplier’s subsidiaries and representatives, third party IPO’s, and direct ordering
- The various global payment methods such as letters of credit, wire transfer, and supplier credit
- 8 steps for evaluating prospective global suppliers and, ultimately, selecting the best one
- Terrorism issues related to global supply chain management
- How to use a landed cost model, which is provided with the course
- How to integrate risk analysis techniques into your global sourcing strategy to evaluate the potential effect of exchange rate fluctuations, the need for unplanned expedited shipping, and more
NOTE: This class will be most effective if you also take it in conjunction with "Basics of Smart International Procurement," which covers the fundamentals of preparing to buy globally including understanding
differences in culture, communications, laws, currencies, and more. |
